Clinique New Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector



At the grand old age of 27, I am beginning to notice changes in my skin. My eyes in particular.

I swear that each week I add another line to my already pretty vast collection of crow’s feet and the bags under my eyes appear to continually darken, regardless of how much sleep i have.

It’s depressing.

I’m currently testing out a whole host of different eye creams, lotions and potions (I’ll talk about that another time) so when Clinique’s New EvenBetter Eyes Dark Circle Corrector was launched, I was first in the queue to try it out.


NEW Even Better Eyes is designed to brighten the appearance of the entire eye area.

The cooling massage tip of the tube refreshes tired-looking eyes while the plumping hydration makes thin eye-area skin appear less transparent and appear brighter. 


I love the feeling of applying this product in the morning and evening. 

Just when your eyes feel tired, sore and heavy the cooling tip of the tube feels refreshing and helps wake you up.




The product itself is light and silky, and despite looking rather like a concealor, blends in seamlessly with your skin tone to leave the eye area feeling hydrated and soft.

The finish is that of a satin primer and the product works amazingly as a base for your make up around the eye area.




Whether or not it truly helps to banish dark shadows I couldn’t say (yet) I’d need to use it for longer, but so far so good.

Clinique Lid Smoothies



Let it be known, that I, Sarah, am completely and utterly in love with this product.

I love the product, I love the packaging, I love the squeezy tube, I love the application tip, and I really love their name. 

What are they? Clinique Lid Smoothies.

Top-Bottom: Currant Affair, Cashew Later, Born Freesia, Seventh Heather & Cute Cumber
  
These pretty little tubes of pure gorgeousness contain creamy, crease-resistant eye colour which lasts for 8 hours. 

Available in 12 stunning shades, the eye colour instantly cools thanks to its unique applicator.

The nourishing ingredients blanket the lid in smoothing goodness while the antioxidants help to protect the delicate skin around the eye-area.



My favourite shade is Born Freesia, a pretty violet shade which can built up to create whatever look you wish.

  A small amount of product goes a long way and creates a pretty, subtle, muted tone, yet built up it becomes a stunning shade of violet.


 Tip: While it is the unique application tip that creates the ‘cooling’ sensation on your eyes (which feels divine by the way) I found it easier to squeeze a little bit of product onto a brush (or fingers) and apply to the eyelid and blend that way. 

Clinique Lid Smoothies are available at various department stores and from Clinique online for £17 each.
