The VOGUE Influencer Network: L'Oréal Paris Youth Code Review

I was recently invited by Vogue to join their Influencer Network, as a Vogue Network Influencer I will be the first to know and share just-launched fashion and beauty collections, industry events and exclusive product samples!  My first product to review has arrived and it is the L'Oréal Paris Youth Code which will be released in January of 2011.  I have very bad under eye circles so I was really looking forward to the eye cream part.  I've tried it out for 5 days now and here is what I think:
As many of you may know I don't really have a beauty routine (I'm way too lazy, so this was a great way to make me start one.  Each morning and night I would cleanse my face, then apply the 'Serum Intense' followed by the Eye Cream and the Day/Night Moisturizer.  Without even going into whether the product worked or not it made my skin feel great, it wasn't oily at all and I felt refreshed after putting it on.  The eye cream has a unique applicator, it has a metal tip so when you squeeze the tube a bit of the product comes onto the tip and you massage it gently around your eyes.

After using it my skin feels nice and smooth and it is starting to look better.  My under eye circles are a bit lighter than usual which is very good!  Its a bit too early to tell if it is really working, but so far my skin is feeling wonderful! I will definitely continue using this product and look forward to seeing more results, so you may see an update post on here soon, after 1 month it is supposed to really make an effect on the skin.

Before and After photos, ignore my nastiness :p  There isn't much of a difference in the photos but my dark circles are definitely lighter now, you just can't tell below because my camera wouldn't cooperate...haha. (I am also in my pjs so :P)

Here is a video promo for the product if you're interested in watching:

  1. I love how, in the vein as most before and after pictures, you are smiling more in the after. Way to promote the product! Depending on the price, the skin refreshment would continue to be a selling point for me, whether or not it actually "worked" on my eyes.

  14. I can't see a lot of difference, but there is indeed a little. And I had no idea that they were already in stores in The Netherlands (comment above). Maybe it's a good idea to check it out for me.
    Thanks for sharing!

  16. I'll recommend this to a friend, she complains of dark circles all the time! That's a pretty big change for just 5 days, even if it isn't actually a big change!

  18. I see a real difference after a week-my dark circles are SO much lighter with the Loreal Youth Code!

  19. I actually don't see a difference in the dark circles! Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. But do let us know of the results after prolonged use - I hate it when products are super effective in the beginning, and the effects start to wear off the more you use it.
