Love Potion No. 1 Revisited

Remember this? The Clinique All About Eyes Serum has become a non-negotiable. I love it! Six weeks in, I look forward to using it 2x per day - in the morning to massage away the puffies (didn't even know I had them?) and in the evening to soothe and cool.

I love a rollerball, for sure, but I'm surprised by how totally effective it is. I'm inclined to believe that - despite the lovely, cool, caffeinated serum - it's the engineering of the applicator that makes this product so useful. It pushes with the right pressure and breaks up the network of fluid underneath the eye socket skin, to make everything look, well, fresher. But it's gentle so it doesn't tug or damage the skin in any way.

At any rate, I recommend it unreservedly. Money well spent, IMO.

Love Potion No. 1

All About Eyes Serum

I'll start my birthday potion review with this purchase because it was the non-negotiable one. I've wanted this product since I first started seeing the ads in magazines. I'm no great fan of Clinique, but I love me anything called a "serum" and the bottle is such a fun shape. Srsly - does it remind you of anything?! :-)

I checked it out a few times before committing to the $32.00 CDN price tag (yes, it is affordable), because I didn't want to be lulled simply by the gimmick.

In the end I was lulled simply by the gimmick - but I'm hardly disappointed!

The roller ball is fantastic. Icy cool to the touch and full of caffeine - who doesn't love that substance? - it will apparently de-puff, soothe and get rid of under-eye circles. It's scent-free and you can, they say, apply it over makeup (not that I've tried). I use it morning and evening after washing my face. It's one of 2 eye potions I wear daily.

Natch, using 2 new eye potions daily, and having worn another by L'Occitane daily for the past 2 years, it's impossible to tell what's doing what (if anything), but I find it totally enjoyable to apply the product.

Has anyone else tried it? If yes, what do you think?
