The clothes shopping hiatus (for a while at least), may make up for the splurge on the new computer, but I’m still not going to skip out on beauty products, even in this economy. For a while, I’d been using a hodge podge of products from Olay to Philosophy. But this past Fall I discovered freckles!! On my cheeks! That’s a sure sign of aging right there. I may act like grandma but there’s no reason I should look like grandma too. So this time I decided to try Shiseido’s White Lucent Brightening Eye Treatment and White Lucent Brightening Moisturizing Emulsion. This line is supposed to “diminish the appearance of spots and freckles.” I still see freckles but it does make my face feel soft and it’s also very easy to smooth on. My only gripe with it, besides the fact that my freckles are still there) is the packaging. The moisturizer comes in a glass bottle and I have to slooooly pour it out or thunk it against my palm to get it going. Picture a glass ketchup bottle only instead of an inch-wide mouth, I have a half a centimeter. I feel like I need to suck it out with a dropper, if it’ll even fit the lip of the jar. For that, I wouldn’t get this again. It smells great though, like all Shiseido products.
