We All Scream for Eye Cream

I have tried about seven different types of eye cream, and counting. I am on a quest to find the perfect eye cream, so fear not, my list will not stop here. But here is a rundown on the ones that I have tried most recently:

1. Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream It smells like ass and I haven't noticed a marked increase in radiance around my eye area.

2. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream It's affordable, you can get it at Walgreen's, and it does the job. I'd buy it again.

3. MAC Moisture Feed Eye Cream This is good shit, but it's on the pricey side. But I'd buy it again at the MAC store in Vancouver when the exchange rate gets better.

4. MAC Fast Response Eye Cream This is nice and non-greasy, but it doesn't work as well under concealer. I also didn't notice much effect from the caffeine. A little too expensive for what it delivers.

5. Physicians Formula Luxury Eye Cream, For Normal to Dry Skin This product is like candle wax. It's cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for.

6. Clinique All About Eyes This stuff is really smooth and moisturizing, but use it sparingly. A little goes a long way. I'd buy it again, but I'd wait until the next Clinique bonus time.

7. Benefit Oooh La Lift Ooooh la rip-off is more accurate. This "de-puffer" (I use the term loosley) is pink and kind of chalky and it doesn't do anything to reduce bags or brighten. Also, the girl that I talked to at Sephora about it said that I should use it "in addition" to my eye cream and concealer. WTF? This product is useless. You'd be better off to use butter flavor Crisco.
