The lovelies at Christian Breton's press team offered to send me some lovely products from the french brand and I was all too happy to oblige!
I was sent two products to try out so thought I'd let you know my thoughts.
Christian Breton SOS Eye Balm
This comes in a little pot and looks like a blue cream concealer. The product comes with a little spoon type dispenser to help get the product out of the tub. I initially thought this was going to have a slight blue tint to it but actually when you work your finger into it, it is a clear colour with a lip balm type consistency.
The consistency felt nice and it was nice to apply to the area around my eyes. Sadly though, I had an allergic reaction to this and my eyes began to stream, sting and itch so this product wasn't for me. I used it on the back of my hand to see if I would react the same way and I didn't. Perhaps my eye area is just a bit too sensitive for this but it left my hand feeling lovely.
I recommend using this at night time before bed, rather than in the morning because it's likely to smudge your makeup slightly.
Christian Breton Precious Gold Eye Mask
This had me sold at 'gold' haha! In case you hadn't gathered, this contains gold and also contains Caviar. I kind of expected it to look gold and smell fishy but actually it was neither! It has a gold tint to it and is filled with gold shimmery speckles and it smells a little like playdoh.
A small amount of this goes a long way and you can definitely see the gold shimmer in there. I left this on for a good 10 minutes then wiped it off as instructed. This did leave my skin feeling really moisturised and nourished after use and it did last for a couple of days. I really liked the result of this and would re-purchase when I run out (even though it's a bit pricey!)
I like that this is in a tube rather than a tub and I like that it feels more like a deep moisturiser rather than a sticky mask.
Definitely a good one for a pamper night or pre-night out prep!

ReplyDeleteGold and caviar in an eye mask! That sounds strange but super luxe! I'm sorry you had a reaction to the balm. Our eye area is super sensitive to begin with, so it's tricky. I can't apply any type of balm or moisturizer near my eyes or they itch for days. Thanks for sharing, though!

I've never heard about this brand before but I like the look of both of these products. My eyes can be a little sensitive so I may have to be careful but I'd definitely be willing to give them ago.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried anything from this brand before but I do see them regularly at TK Maxx and was interested in how their products perform. I've been looking for an eye cream of some sort - sorry to hear that you had a reaction to this one, hate when that happens, especially if the product was pricey!

I've never heard of this brand before, I'll have to take a look into it more! It's a shame that you took a reaction to the eye balm, but at least you loved the eye mask, it sounds like a very luxurious product
