THE CONSISTENCY SkinOwl Eye + is super light and has a thick gel feel to it....comparable to the feel of a thicker pure aloe vera gel. One of the reasons I am so smitten with this product is the fact that the gel maintains a cool temperature and feels so refreshing every time I apply it. It's recommended that you keep it in the refrigerator to activate the cucumber enzymes (increases circulation and minimizes lines and wrinkles) and I think that's a brilliant idea. It's like applying fresh cucumber puree to your eyes. I love it. $46
WHAT IT DOES & WHAT'S SO COOL ABOUT IT From the SkinOwl site: "Transforms crepe-paper skin into healthy, resilient and firm skin around your eyes, cucumber de-puffs, aloe smooths and silkens." What did I find? It makes the skin around the eyes soft and creates a smooth surface for makeup application. It feels wonderful on tired eyes and it definitely de-puffs. It feels like such a treat and I'm not just saying that. This is so refreshing and can only imagine how helpful it would be for those on computers all day or super-exhausted moms. What's cool is that Eye + can also be used as an all-over face treatment. I've been applying it to my forehead, cheeks and nose and I would love, love, love to have this in a larger size to use as an all-over treatment all of the time. This is perfect for pre-makeup application.

It's effective, pure and feels perfect on the skin."MOISTURIZING CLEANSER & MAKEUP REMOVER
Wow. If there's one thing you need to know about Kahina Giving Beauty's Night Cream, it is this: it is nothing like any other night cream you've ever tried before.Why? The main reason being is that it is incredibly smooth and light. Yep, that's right, light. Whenever I think Night Cream, I picture a heavy cream that will sit on my face for the entire night, hydrating it, but not really allowing my skin to breathe, which is the exact reason why I don't usually use one. This cream is the polar opposite; so soft to the touch and spreads so easily, it's a true joy to use. I find myself reaching for it for daytime use, but for the purpose of review, I stuck to what it was created for: nighttime.
