Product Reviews John Frieda - Hairdressing LegendWe LOVE eyeSlices! If you don't have time to lie down with an eye mask to soothe tired eyes or soften under-eye bags, you'll love eyeSlices - a five-minute eye treatment you can fit into even the busiest day. The pads help to soothe puffiness and tiredness, and can soften the appearance of dark circles. The contain aloe ferox, an organic whole leaf aloe extract, and a peptide complex which helps to firm and brighten the skin - and unlike cucumber slices, they wont slide off! John Frieda - As recommended in "Femail Magazine" in The Daily Mail (22nd April 2010)

These gentle eye pads - they are even better when cooled in the fridge first - will lie perfectly on your tired eyes whilst resting in the bath or bed. With active ingredients of aloe, anti-inflammatory yeast extracts, rice peptides to revitalise amd moisturising properties, these re-usable eye pads will discard any signs of the night before. Wipe each eyeSlices before use, apply and relax. Literally after one minute my eyes were cool and refreshed, and believe us we used them during Fashion Week so we should know!

www.handbag.com Samantha Chapman - Accomplished Professional Make-Up Artist and Make-Up TutorI had a go with them last night and they are absolutely lovely! It's got the kind of feel of cucumber, it's really cooling but you don't have to put them in the fridge for them to have that cooling effect and you can re use them. They have all sorts of anti-aging ingredients that penetrate into your skin while you are wearing them - they are fabulous! I would buy more definitely - they felt lovely, it was very relaxing and if you do suffer from tired eyes like I do then yes, I think it's a good buy! Samantha Chapman (February 2010)
www.samanthachapman.com Kelly Hollands - Professional Freelance Make-Up Artist As a busy working mother of 2 young children I am a big fan of anything ‘relaxing’! I was delighted to be able to test and review the latest soothing and cooling high tech eye gels from South Africa otherwise known as eyeSlices. ‘Encapsulated in a patented Cryogel technology’this new product claims to deliver ‘natural, yet effective ingredients to the skin around the eye which promises revitalising results within 5 minutes’. eyeSlices also aim to reduce puffiness, dark circles, redness, wrinkles and tired eyes. Just what I needed after a very busy weekend of working, networking, socialising and lack of sleep! The packaging is very appealing and has every bit of information you need to know about eyeSlices including the fact that one pair can be used up to 10 times, they don’t need to be kept in the fridge and they need to be used within 2 weeks of opening. The set came with a plastic container which reminds me of an over-sized contact lens case – this is where you store your eyeSlices when not in use. Before use I cleansed and dried my skin taking care to remove all traces of eye make-up. The eyeSlices are initially packaged in a foil backed clear fronted container which is ideal for keeping the moisture and ingredients locked into the slices. The product itself is green in colour with no distinct smell. The slices are very flexible and felt quite durable. Once removed from the packaging I placed a slice over each eye. I did need to press the slice quite firmly onto the closed eye so that it moulded to the contours of my eye and held it in place. The slice needs to be comfortable and be able to stay on the eye area when sitting up. You can keep the eyeSlices on for 5-20 minutes so seeing as I was having some ‘me’ time they stayed on for the whole 20 minutes! I found them very relaxing and gentle on the eye area. They didn’t sting my eyes nor did the product feel drying. My main areas of concern around the eye area are fine lines and dark circles so I was very pleased to find upon removal of the eyeSlices that my whole eye area was smooth, tight, less tired and above all there were less shadows under my eyes. For a first application I was very impressed with the results and will definitely be recommending these to my clients for use after a late night or early morning, plane journey or for that ‘pick me up’ when you want to look fresh and awake! A big thumbs up from me! Kelly Hollands (February 2010)
