If we had it our way, we would abandon all things city life-related and head to the beach for a relaxing ocean-side existence. Until our daydreams become reality, we’re turning to ElevenSkin’s unique combination of sea-borne ingredients to give us a brighter, more energized appearance. This hydrating cream fights the signs of aging, tightens skin around the eyes, and, thanks to a built-in tint, conceals dark undereye circles.
I have been looking for under eye concealer/brightener, so I was very excited to try this product. However, it was too thick, and it did not blend well on my under eye area. When I tried to blend, this product became flaky as if I was using a type of exfoliator. Unfortunately, I need to throw this away.
1i was really excited to get this and put it on immediately. It started flaking off as soon as i attempted to blend it into my skin. So i figured i would try it the next day on a clean face. Same thing happened! Since this product pills and flakes off completely on its own i cannot even imagine how hard it would be for me to wear it with other stuff on my face. terrible in my opinion.
1I have only used this product twice, but I can tell that it is not for me. The color is not as light as I would like an under eye concealer. My biggest complaint is that it burns when it goes on my skin. It is a very uncomfortable feeling. It does stop once it dries and is set, but if any moisture hits it, the burning starts again. The size of the sample is nice, so I will be passing it along to a friend to try.
1. . . then this is for you. I really wanted to love this. It was a bit too pink for my skin, and no matter how I tried to blend it and pat it in, it never seemed to soak in, sink it or cover any of the shadows under my eyes. In fact, the more I tried to blend, the more it just bunched up and gathered in little globs on top of my skin. My husband even noticed it looked horrible. I gave it away to a friend after that hoping they would have better luck. I could tell even without reading the label that it had dimethicone of some sort in it from the way it came away from my skin and formed those little blobs. I can't imagine why they think dimethicone is necessary in our skin and hair care. This was not for me. I won't buy it and I won't recommend it. This product alone has turned me off from the brand.
1When I found this in my June box, I was THRILLED. This is the kind of product for me - two in one! I'm a little lazy about remembering to use eye cream. And now that I'm 41, I really need to be more faithful. So I thought an eye cream/concealer combo would be the perfect solution! If I could improve my dark circles while covering them up that would would be awesome! But... this product just didn't work for me. The concealer dried a little chalky and was too light in color (and I am quite fair.) Also the product did not feel soothing like eye creams usually do. So unfortunately, this did not turn out to be the dream product I was hoping it would be.
1This product goes on smooth, but it is way too greasy and it leaves a strong white trace after. You basically have to blend and blend until the whole thing disappears so I don't see the point of applying it to begin with. It did irritate my eye area so I don't think it's hypoallergenic.
