As mentioned in yesterdays Product Empties post I have recently been in the market for a new eye cream. I first heard about this one in a Zoella video and thought it might be a go-er for my dehydrated and sensitive eyes.
I popped into my local Space NK and annoyingly, although as expected they did not have a sample. I bought the 14g pot for £20 (which comes in as slightly cheaper than the Clinique offering)
The formula promises to be rich and nourishing. I personally would liken the texture more to that of a gel. It is hydrating but is not as thick or *greasy* as I would have hoped with the properties of avocado. I find that is pulls a little at the skin and sinks in quickly to a water based consistency.
I also find the pot a little messy. You dip in a finger and instead of only getting the minuscule amount you need this gloopy formula sticks to you and you end up with far too much which doesn't spread well on the skin.
I think overall I am a little disappointed with this product and VERY glad I didn't buy the bigger size online (which represents better value). I will use it up, it seems like it might just about be moisturising enough for the warmer summer months but I am not sure it's got the gumption to compete against central heating and more harsh weather.
