To Repurchase Or Not To Repurchase- Clinique Even Better Eyes

Clinique is a brand that is in the high end spectrum when it comes to price, yet is a favourite among many skincare devotees. Why? Because their products deliver.
When I recieved Clinique Even Better Eyes as part of a prize, I was ever so grateful. Being a product for dark eye circles fits one of my skin problems perfectly. 
Designed to hydrate and brighten eye area, therefore counteracting dark circles. Yes, this eye cream was meant for me!
The eye cream comes in a small tube. The packaging is simple, yet effective. The point of difference with this tube, is the delivery system. A metal tip with small hole to not only dispense product, but apply it. I've used roller ball types before, but found this to be more effective and gentle to the eye area. I also appreciated the cooling effect it provided during application.
The consistency is not of a thick eye cream. It has an added tint to the formula. As with most eye creams, a little goes a long way. 
Would I repurchase? I would have to say no. Not because I didn't like this eye cream, but I found for the price, I didn't get the desired results. I still have my dark, dark circles, I can't say that  I saw an improvement. The eye cream did soften them briefly thanks to the tint, but not enough that I could negate the need for a concealer. In saying this, there were some things that I really liked about the eye cream. It felt lovely and velvety on the skin, hydrating my eye area beautifully. I just loved the plumping effect and less noticeable crepiness that my eyes have. I did use Clinique Even Better Eyes morning and night, to really let it do its work, but I think it would make a much better product for night time use, as I did find that it took some time to absorb.
A beautiful product, but not quite there for me in terms of reducing my dark circles.

 Do you suffer dark circles? What is your remedy? I'm still searching for something that works well!

    Sorry I can't help here Indie, I have ginormous bags but no dark circles. This was in my Blogstar box but I haven't tried it as yet - still trying to work through my stash of half used eye creams - but I'm hoping for an improvement in the crepey bits ♥

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
