Clinique All About Eyes

Advantages: Gorgeous pot.
Disadvantages: Slightly greasy.

...me a huge box of Clinique skin care products, most of which were small size, but this was a full size pot. I say full sized, this tub contains 15mls which at the moment is the only size they do. This is the same size as a lip balm tub but astonishingly enough this pot costs £20! Their website converts this into how much it costs per 100mls which would be £133.33! WOW! The Pot. The pot is adorable, a clear tub with a silver lid, the cream itself ...
...any Boudouir. Application. Clinique recommends a three step system. Cleansing, Clarifying and Moisturising. On top of this they sell numerous products to work along side to combat problem areas. They advise you to use all about eyes after applying their dramatically different moisturiser. Which I do since a pot of that came in my box too! You apply this sparingly with your ring finger. A tiny amount goes miles! You literally need to touch the ... Read review

Advantages: Makes Eyes Brighter And Younger Looking
Disadvantages: Expensive Not Very Nice Smell

...eyes I decided to give Clinique All About The Eyes a go. At £20 for 15ml I did feel it was rather expensive but I had heard great reviews about it from friends and in magazines. So I took my tiny pot home and began to use it. So what does it promise to do? Clinique say "Diminishes the appearance of eye puffs, darkness, and fine lines. Lightweight, cream-gel formula actually helps hold eye makeup in place" Great, just what I was looking for, maybe ...
...Clinique say the features and benefits of all about the eyes are "Minimises the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Helps to minimise, soften fine lines and wrinkles. Helps to make the fragile eye area skin stronger and better protected. Soothes, comforts and smoothes the eye area. Calms and soothes. Protects against environmental damage. Extends eye makeup wear." So i took my plain looking pot of All About The Eyes and put it to the test. ... Read review

Advantages: lasts a long time, actually works, looks good on your shelf
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...cigerettes and came accross the Clinique stand. So many people have raved about Clinique products so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try one out. I spent a long time perusing the shelves and suddenly a small little pot caught my eye. It stood out as, unlike most of the clinique products, it doesn't have a green lid and looked different so I bought it. The Pot It comes in a 15ml pot about the size of a pot of lip balm or maybe ...
...and has a silver lid. The brand and product name are clearly displayed on the front. My initial thoughts were that the pot looked tiny and at that price I wouldn't be able to afford regular refills, it looked like it would run out after a month maximum however the directions did state apply sparingly so maybe I'd be proved wrong..... -The Claims- Minimises the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Helps to minimise, soften fine lines and wrinkles. ... Read review

Advantages: Tones skin, nice silky texture, diminishes dark circles
Disadvantages: Doesn't rid me completely of the dark circles, no SPF

...screw top lid. Like all Clinique packaging, it's simple but classy and looks great. It has a plastic cover underneath the lid to prevent the cream from falling into the lid if you're travelling which is one of my bug bears, so thumbs up from me there. It retails at around £20 for 15ml, which is reasonable for a premium brand eye cream, (as long as it works!) and you can buy Clinique products from Boots, Debenhems, House of Fraser and most other department ...
...and doesn't clog the pores. Clinique have realised this concern and produce two versions of All About Eyes, the regular version, and a rich version, for skin that is more wrinkle prone and needs a bit more attention. To apply, I use my finger to get a tiny amount of the cream and stroke it gently across the skin under my eye, moving from my nose outwards. If there is any residue left on my finger, I stroke it across my top lid for good measure. You ... Read review

Advantages: lasts a very long time, diminishes wrinkles and fine lines, reduces dark circles, makes tired eyes feel good, and on and on and on
Disadvantages: bit pricey for all in one go

...eye open (no pun intended) Clinique often run offers where you can get free samples, or get freebies when you buy X amount, so it is worth looking about for their special offers. Another thing to keep in mind is Boots stock Clinique and you can load up on Advantage points when purchasing! I have been so impressed witht his product, I have since also purchased loads of their other products, which also last months and months, so it actually works out ...
...Now I have very sensitive skin as well, and am a contact lense wearer, and I can honestly say this product has not irritated my delicate eye area at all and except for the one time I actually got some in my eye as in on my eyeball (don't ask), it has never stung. So, except for having to outlay £20 for 6 months worth all in one go, this is a truly great purchase! ... Read review

Advantages: Covers well
Disadvantages: Pricey

...of boots points this time and lots of samples which are great for the make up bag. I went in with no make up on just to show her how hideous I was and she immediately recommended Clinique all about eyes concealer. She applied some for me and wow! I was hooked! I did buy two other items too which I needed too... no really I did! It all came to around £50 but I don't buy it often so I didn't mind too much. The concealer was £15 for 10mls, yes the tube is tiny but a little goes a long way. *Application* You can apply this with your finger, a sponge or a brush. I either use my foundation sponge or my finger depending on how lazy I'm feeling. I apply mine after my foundation simply because it stays on better and you tend to use less after foundation as you already have a little layer of coverage. The liquid is very thick almost like Vaseline... Read review

Advantages: Easily absorbed and visible results
Disadvantages: Cost

...Like many people nowadays I spend all day staring at a computer screen or mobile display, and on the days when I'm let out of the office, at a busy road or a Sat Nav screen. All of these were starting to leave their mark on my eyes - getting a constant "gritty" feeling by the end of the day and, most alarmingly, leading to increasingly noticeable fine lines and discolouration of the skin around my eyes. I decided to try to correct this problem by getting myself some eye gel or cream, thinking that any old moisturiser would do, but I quickly found that I'd wandered into a very specialist area of skincare, where many products are available, at alarming prices. Whilst buying my after shave at a local Clinique counter I noticed their "All About Eyes" product and decided to give it a try. The Product The cream is very slightly gel... Read review

Advantages: It will last a very long time.
Disadvantages: It's too heavy and didn't really do what it said on the tin.

...I brought this product on the recommendation of a girl I know who used to work for Clinique. I was looking for a product to cover the slight dark circles beneath my eyes, they're not terrible, but adding some concealer around my eyes make me look much brighter. She recommended this concealer to me, because I also get puffy eyes sometimes (I'm slightly allergic to dust) and apparently this concealer will work to reduce puffiness. I've been using this concealer for around 2 months now and I'm not overly impressed. The concealer is very thick in texture, yet in order to get the coverage required to conceal my dark shadows, I have to put quite a substantial layer on to the eye area - which ends up looking fake. The concealer doesn't leave me with a natural-looking finish, if anything my eyes end up looking too bright. I've tried... Read review
