Another Clinique eyes buddy bidded me farewell recently. No heavy hearted I-will-miss-you-alot feelings though. Let's see why:
Clinique says:
Potent anti-aging eye cream focuses skin's energies on repair. Targets the appearance of eye-area lines and wrinkles. Replenishes antioxidants. Strengthens vulnerable skin for a brighter, vibrant, refreshed look. Ophthalmologist Tested. Patent pending.* For all skin types.
Foxy Says:
Ok, I don't have wrinkles to begin with. But I do have some faint lines thanks to staring at the laptop 14 hours a day.
Texture: Yellowish tinted cream, rich
Scent: None :)
Nett Wt: 15 ml
Packaging: in a jar (not a fave, but I use a spatula for all skincare in jars, so am not bothered)
Price: Part of GWP..
Despite the rich antioxidant formula, it did nothing to my fine lines. Not helping in reducing dark circles or puffiness too.
On the brighter side, it did not sting my eyes, no irritation, and most importantly did not give me milia seeds. Very basic in terms of hydration; not good enough to last me over 9 hours in the office.
Hmm I'm not impressed with it. Don't think I'll purchase this.
Let's see how these perform eh:
~ Lancome Renergie Morpholift Yeux R.A.R.E Lifting & Firming Eye Serum
~ Lancome Renergie Morpholift Yeux R.A.R.E Repositioning Eye Cream
~ Pure Beauty Pomegranate Antioxidant Eye Cream

I finished another jar of eye cream, yay!

Foxy Says:
Texture: White creme (didn't look / feel like gel-creme to me)
Scent: Light powdery, not over-powering
Size: 15ml (the one I used was a 5ml jar from GWP)
Overall, this is another so-so product from EL. It came in a jar, I didn't really fancy dipping my finger into it and then dab on my eye areas (but I like keeping jars hmm). I use a mini spatula for all my jar/tub creams.
Does it hydrates well? I'd say not bad. A basic hydrating eye cream is what I'll label this. Nothing more. Eyes area looked fresh and moist, feel moisturized; BUT this doesn't last all day.
Max for me is about half a day.
Won't be re-purchasing this unfortunately.
Tonight I bid you goodbye CAAE. It has been a marvellous few months (though it felt like years) with you. I don't know if I'm happy or sad to see you go.. - Mental I know.
I have to admit, you didn't impress me when we first met. I was more interested in the pink glossy pouch that you came together with! All I saw in you was, err.. you were brown and gooey and.. the thought of slathering you onto my lids was just.. a lil icky. And weighing at 15ml, it dawned to me then that you're never gonna leave me anytime soon. Sigh, how wrong was I!
Its true what ppl say, do not judge a book by its cover!
After our initial lack of chemistry introduction, one fine day I’ve decided to squeeze you a lil onto my finger.. and dabbed dabbed.. and raised brow.... dabbed dabbed... a grin started to appear on my face! I liked you then and there!
What I love about you:
Texture: crème-gel that didn’t suffocate my skin. Feels great when massaged gently for lines prevention.
Color: honestly, as long as it wasn’t black or blue or red!
Size: you came in a 15ml trial tube, not in a jar. So its uber easy to carry you around.
Apart from that, you kept my eye areas really soft and hydrated! Even under air conditioning at work.
No sign of stickiness, didn’t ruin my makeup. And the bonus – didn’t give me milia seeds.
Sigh, so what there not to love about you...?
Nothing..
Why am I not repurchasing you?
Because, I strayed a little and now I have to deal with some Garniers and an Estee Lauder.
*looking guilty*
