Skinfood Salmon brightening eye serum


Skinfood Salmon brightening eye serum
Cosemecutical
Containing arbutin and the extracts of Omega 3-rich salmon roe produced in Hokkaido, japan, this eye serum brightens and relieves dark circles arount the eyes.

It seems peculiar to have an eye serum. Does that mean it's supposed to be layered with a eyecream also? Plus, it says it's a cosmecutecial. Suggesting it's supposed to be used before makeup?
I'm not quite sure to be honest what it's supposed to do.

Scent- It does not smell like fish! Yay! It's got a very very faint scent, nothing I can pin down, just faintly perfumed.
Texture- Peculiar for a serum this is creamy.... 
Effectivness- It absorbs beautifully. So if it is meant to be layered under makeup or an eyecream it's definetly light enough to do so.
Beyond absorbtion I'm not sure how well it works... It definetly not a cosmetic, though 'Cosmecutical' suggest an immediate result...  I've used it for a number of days straight, with no significant effect. Although since I've only had a couple of sample packs to use I really can't say.
Buy?- No... It doesn't seem like a bad product, ambiguous yes... But not bad. But it has also done nothing for my dark circles, so unless I hear some good reviews of it, it's a pass.

Sample overload! And a new goal!

Samples samples samples.

OMG I have so many samples. I absolutely love that here in Korea you get samples with just about every Makeup or skin care purchase. But over the past 6 months, I have accumulate A LOT of samples.
Just look at them all (and there are more not shown, hidden away Everywhere!)
So I've decided it's time to jump in. I am going to use only samples, until I run out.
It's my mission.
I'm not allowed to use any of my regular beauty products, if i have a sample.
My samples mostly consist of skin care, moisturizers, toners, and cleansers.
But there are also shampoos, body washes, and a fair number of BB creams.
So this could be a serious disaster, my hair does not like weird shampoo!
So over the next few weeks I am going to be posting a Million mini reviews.
But for you my dear readers, it also means I am going to share the wealth!
I am going to do a giveaway, with a winner drawn every week for the next 5 weeks!
So keep an eye on the blog, I will be posting the giveaway later today!
