själ skincare, an organic approach to scientifically advanced skincare from Sweden, is a favorite among celebrities, models and fashion insiders in Hollywood. I didn't know what all the hype was about so decided to do a little investigating on my own. I got samples of the best sellers,
orbe (eye contour cream) and
kura (intense hydration cream) last week and have been diligently testing them to give you a full report.
sjal orbe: multi-tasking eye cream
eye- This is a multi tasking eye cream designed to lift the eye
area, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fatty deposits, dark circles
and puffiness. At first I didn't like the eye cream, after applying,
it'd 'peel' (a light exfoliatoin process perhaps?). But after a week,
I love it! The area around my eyes is a bit softer. It leaves a smooth coating
(from pearl powder) which is perfect as a base for eye make up. There
is also loquat leaf for brightening and real gold, silver, germanium an
copper for cellular repair. At $175 it is comparable to the other luxury brands. I will definitely be adding it to my rotation of eye creams.

sjal kura intuitif: nourishing cream
- this is a deep hydration cream that aids in repair of damaged, dry dehydrated and mature skin. Applying this cream is like putting on a shield over the skin. You can actually see the glistening pearl powder and gold/silver/copper sheen. Again, it 'peeled' the first couple of days but then my skin adjusted and now it absorbs quite well. For a deep hydrating cream, I didn't find it heavy at all, it is actually a good day time cream in the winter months. $255/60ml $155/30ml

thank you! been wanting to try this!
Weird. I'm from Sweden and I have never heard about Själ.
Maybe they only market it to US? And to celebrities here?
I am interested in that eye cream. Will check at Barneys.
Hi all,
apparently a little goes a long way! I was using too much which explains the 'peeling'. Keep that in mind when you try it!
