REVIEW! | Vitamin E Active Moisture Eye Balm by Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics


Shea butter...I love it.  It banishes dryness like nothing else, and it's the star ingredient in the hand cream I use every night before bed.  After seeing posts from several of my favorite bloggers raving about the amazingness of a new eye product bursting with shea butter called Vitamin E Active Moisture Eye Balm, I was in.

Elizabeth Dehn, founder of BeautyBets.com, partnered with Suzanne LeReoux, co-founder of One Love Organics, to create the ultimate moisturizing line, and I think they've knocked it out of the park!
The Vitamin E Active Moisture Eye Balm, $48.00 for 0.5 oz, is a dense, waterless eye balm packed with vitamins, active antioxidants, pomegranate, eyebright, ginsing, fennel, and, of course, shea butter.  So much so that it's the first listed ingredient!  It is beyond rare to find an active ingredient listed first; it's typically water and/or slip agents.  Not here, people!  It's straight shea butter magic!  The fennel acts as a natural anti-inflammatory to help reduce puffiness, while the pomegranate, eyebright, and ginseng help achieve a more lifted look.
This balm smells so good.  It's like a jubilant fennel fiesta every time you open the jar.

In the a.m., I tap a tiny bit under my eyes to moisturize and reduce the morning puffalumps.  I've noticed my concealer has been going on smoother and not settling into my fine lines like it typically does.  This is thrilling for me, as concealer creasing is basically the norm!  In the evening, I apply it more liberally under my eyes and on any other dry patches on my face.  When I wake up the next morning, the skin around my eyes feels ridiculously soft and smooth.  It can be used anywhere that needs a hydration boost, like rough elbows or your lips.

Though 0.5 oz sounds small, the fact that this balm is so dense and concentrated means a little goes a long way which ensures it'll be a long time before you'll need to repurchase.
The customer service experience I had ordering from One Love Organics was fantastic.  They sent me a thank you email, provided me with a tracking number, the package arrived very quickly and it was packed with care.  They also included a pretty sweet-sized sample of the Vitamin C Active Moisture Serum, which was a really lovely surprise!
I really can't say enough about the Vitamin E Active Moisture Eye Balm by Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics!  It's an absolute gem!
