Clinique All About Eyes

Pros: Moisturizes dry, puffy eyes; helps foundation glide on smoothly.
Cons: Expensive in price; shiny in appearance if worn alone.

Last December, I received a rather generous sample of this Clinique All About Eyes in a Secret Santa package from a good friend. I'd been wanting to try it for awhile as I'm always in search of a good eye moisturizer. And almost from the very ...

Pros: Great feeling on eye skin areas, leaves you feeling hydrated.
Cons: None so far

Okay, so here I go again writing about Clinique. I know, I know I should be going to Cliniques Anonymous. <wink>
Well I am going to share with you my experience of using the bonus sample of All About Eyes. This eye gel is a mixture...

Pros: Gel, absorbs quickly
Cons: no SPF

I'm getting to an age where I don't have fine lines yet, but I'm taking actions to help prevent them. One thing I have been doing for a few years now is using eye creams. I first used Clinique's All About Eyes in a tiny sample jar and now I'm using a ...

Pros: Lightweight, smooth texture. Matte finish
Cons: only mildly hydrating

Clinique continues to dominate it's niche in the market with it's straightforward, no-frills approach to cosmetics and skin care. So when I headed there for some skin care products, I was a bit overwhelmed by the claims they made for their All About...

Pros: Almost no fragrance, silky texture
Cons: No results, jar form.

Living in California and wearing contact lenses can take its toll on the delicate skin near the eyes. Though I wear sunscreen daily and wear sunglasses plus a hat, I'm starting to see the dreaded "laugh lines".

The beauty industry knows all...

Pros: Feels nice....
Cons: Doesn't really do what it claims

Don't get me wrong, I do like this product, it just doesn't do what it claims. Clinique's All About Eyes claims to reduce puffiness and under eye circles. The only thing I have noticed that it does do, is make the skin under my eyes very soft.

...

Pros: Quickly absorbing, nongreasy cream/gel formula
Cons: Not a heavy duty, big gun moisturizer for those with dry skin

Of all the major cosmetic brands, Clinique is the one to which I turn when I want the straight story: no frills, gimmicks, or cheap thrills, just simple goodness and decent bang for the buck. Clinique is not the trendiest of brands at this point, but...

Pros: soothing to the eye area
Cons: Price, Didn't see results on me.

A few weeks ago as I was strolling along aimlessly in the mall I drifted into one of the department stores. Right there in front of me was the HUGE Cosmetics department. I slowly wandered up to the Clinique counter to cast my eyes over all of their...

Pros: Minimizes puffiness, lines and (to a lesser extent) circles. Perfect base for flawless concealer application.
Cons: Twice the price of drugstore products (but worth it). Takes a minute to soak in.

I have no qualms about dropping money on kitchen gadgets, entertainment, or clothes, but I absolutely hate to spend a ton on beauty products. Years ago I heard a dermatologist interviewed on TV claiming that cheap moisturizers do just as good a job as ...

Pros: Absorbs quickly, doesn't irritate, helps keep makeup in place, a feel good moisturizer.
Cons: Doesn't perform miracles, only diminishes puffiness, lines and circles, and not significantly for some. Pricey

I have been using ALL ABOUT EYES for three years now. It is one of my favorite eye care products. I love how quickly it is absorbed and how smooth my skin feels. The skin around my eyes feels soft and moisturized, not heavy and greasy. This is the only ...

Pros: Does not burn or sting. Gently smooths the eye area; slightly tightens
Cons: It ain't the miracle it claims to be.

I remember exactly when I spotted that first tiny little line under my eye. I was at work, in the bathroom, putting my hair into a ponytail. I was looking in the mirror and much to my horror, there it was. A fine little crease right below my left eye....

Pros: lives up to claims, effective, feels refreshing, gentle on eye area
Cons: expensive

The summer before last, I took a trip to Herold Square Macy's with my sister. When we were walking through the cosmetics department a woman stopped me. She said they had just set up some system to videotape a makeover and broadcast it in the ...

Pros: There's a sucker born every minute.
Cons: It's pricey and it didn't live up to its claims.

The other day I was having lunch with the wife of a close friend, and she commented that I didn't seem to be getting enough sleep because I had dark circles under my eyes. I don't mind being bald, but I don't want to look like a raccoon.(a tired ...

Pros: moisturizing effect
Cons: ineffective; Clinique's claims are highly overstated

Within the last year, I have started to notice puffiness and circles around my eyes to varying degrees, depending on the season, the state of my allergies, stress, workload or amount of sleep I have gotten. I had received a small sample of Clinique's...

Pros: Gorgeous pot, nice feel to it
Cons: Very pricey!

I would never in a million years spend this kind of money on an eye cream, especially not at my tender age! However my lovely sister bought me a huge box of Clinique skin care products, most of which were small size, but this was a full size pot. I say ...
