Where: Myer, David Jones and Clinique

I’ve been using Clinique’s All About Eyes Serum for a little over one month now, and am only 1/5 of the way through this product, so I know it’ll last me a solid few months. But what grosses me out a little is the fact that I’m using the same roller ball on my delicate eye area again and again, so any dirt it may happen to pick up is going right back into the product :/

So be sure to only ever apply this on a clean face! (not sure why it recommends to apply during the day because your face will not be that clean then)

That aside, I absolutely love applying this product because the metal ball is so cooling and refreshing on the skin 🙂 I use this more as a primer before I apply my eye cream 🙂

Whilst it does seem to help settle down puffy eyes that have been induced from either a late night or lots of crying 😡 I don’t think it does much for dark circles, I find the only thing that helps get rid of dark circles is a good night’s sleep.

Ultimately, this is a lovely luxury to have, I did find it helps my eye cream absorb faster which was not mentioned on the product, but I found to be a big plus in it’s favour. One of the things about luxury items is that to me, they should be designed to be a mental / emotional pick me up, which this does deliver on. Think of it like splashing cold water on yourself on a very hot day, instant gratification if you’re feeling lousy 🙂
