I received the Sensai Cellular Performance eye cream last month and finally got a chance to test it out for you beauties when I returned home from New York last week. Sensai is the high end line from Japanese skincare giant Kanebo and its latest line of skin care promises holistic anti-aging from one cell to another. The Japanese word "Sensai" evokes a world of fineness, delicacy, grace and calm, just like the girl I knew in Asia who was the Kanebo spokesmodel in the '90s. I still remember her face clearly and how she made me and my friends run for the Kanebo counter regularly hoping to capture some of her grace and beauty. The Sensai eye contour cream is luxuriously rich (one of the richest eye creams I have tried) but blends easily, quite perfect for the upcoming winter months. Made with extracts of the delicate purple Japanese orchid, Shilan, which has long been known for its healing properties. I liked that it had no fragrance or color so you won't risk irritating your eyes. $90 at Bergdorf Goodman.
I absolutely love this eye cream! As many know, sensai in Japanese means teacher, instructor. How apt because I've just been taught that Sensai Cellular Performance collection is one of the most efficacious and luxurious lines to be found. What taught me this? My first experience with the Eye Contour Cream.
The milk-white cream is ultra soft, delicate and feels like a wash of the finest silk on skin. It is the first I've seen that treats the entire eye, patted underneath it banishes circles and puffiness. Applied to the eyelid it softens lines or wrinkles.
It's amazing what that dual treatment does to freshen, brighten and give a more youthful aspect to the eye. Absorbing quickly, it creates a smooth palette for makeup while at night it softens, relaxes skin for a restful sleep.
Can't wait to discover what Sensai will teach me next!
