Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Gel

Wow! It's already 2012, Happy New Year to everyone!!!  I wish everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I had a great time skiing at Vermont.  I hate to start the year with a negative post but this one is long overdue, and I have to write this before I forget about this product.


I received my Sephora $20 year-end-thank-you gift card last month, my immediate thought was, "Timing couldn't be better, I need a new eye cream!"  I did some research and was planning to grab one of the Origins eye cream, but when I talked to the salesperson at Sephora, I realized that Origins products are only available online.  So after discussing my needs to the salesperson, she suggested that I get Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Gel.  I tried a little bit and it felt great at the time and the salesperson said it's such a great product, blah blah blah, so I went ahead and bought it from the store.  


I was really excited about this eye gel because it really did feel refreshing after applying it around the eye area and the scent is clean like fresh air.  And according to the website, it contains caffeine, oxygen, and vitamin C which are a great mix of ingredients to keep the eyes looking radiant, perk! However, one of the immediate problems I noticed is that this eye gel is not a remedy for fine lines, because the lines reappeared as soon as the gel is absorbed to the skin.  Well, at the time I still hope that the gel would provide the "instant energizing" the label claims it to be. I really have to tell myself, STOP falling for these silly labels and pretty packaging ...., can this be my 2012 resolution?


Let's just say that my eyes really did get "pump up" because it stimulated an allergic reaction around my eyes.  Yes, bright red itch eyes like the light bulbs in Christmas tree. I was absolutely electrified (in a bad way), I wasted my $20 gift card on this! I mean normally I would just nod my share of bad luck and stick to the product but this eye gel caused such bad reaction that I had to return it.  On top of that, I lost my chance on the online promotional gift because I bought this at the store.  


Lessons learned, never ever let the salesperson convince you to buy anything before trying out a sample and second, don't use your one-time gift card on a new product!


I guess I really hated this so much I forgot to take a photo, well here's a link to the product in Sephora website.

  1. I'm not certain, but I believe I am also suffering from an extreme allergic reaction to the ingredients in this product. I've been dealing with red, itchy, swollen and very DRY eyes for a week after using the eye gel. I look terrible and the affects seem to last a long time. Thanks for this post.
