I am obsessed with everything that is clinique, well most of their range and because of this I love clinique bonus time. It was in a wonderful pink box full of freebies at bonus time that I discovered 'all about eyes'.
I didn't really read about what it was supposed to do before trying it, so the first thing I noticed was the texture of it when applied. It is a lightweight pinky white cream that I can honesly say leaves the skin feeling 'velvety' and soft, not greasy at all. I'm only 22 so wasn't sure that I was really going to benefit from an eye cream, however I do suffer from dark circles around my eyes and this really did the trick of reducing those - I was delighted!
I managed to obtain two of the sample tubes and those lasted me an age as you only need the smallest amount for each eye. When I ventured back to the clinique counter I was a little disappointed at the price as it was around £20 and packaged in a pot. As it is in a pot you tend to use more than you need as you have to dab your finger in. The samples had been in a tube so you could just squeeze out the tiny drop required.
Despite the price and packaging the cream does work and does last a very long time. I would say that it is the best eye cream for someone like me who isn't so concerned with reducing the appearance of wrinkles (yet) but wants to reduce dark circles, protect and nourish the eye area and hopefully ward off those wrinkles for a little longer!
Great Review - I myself have invested in a pot of this - although i must say I am slightly disappointed on the effects on dark circles. As mine do not yet feel reduced but I shall persevere.
I've heard haemorrhoid cream has the same effect on dark circles for a fraction of the price (But obviously a bit less glamorous than Clinique!) Liz :)

I should really try this- I have the worst dark circles you've ever seen!
