Jen's Experience:Ever since 30 was on the horizon, I started taking notice of the tiny lines appearing around my eyes. How could this be? Did I not use enough moisturizer? Did I spend too much time in the sun? Whatever the case, it became time to find a nice product to help cover up the damage, and I thought this one might do the trick.

It's very thick, sort of like a butter. I put the rich, pink creme under by eyes like it was spackle, and at least at application time, it seemed to do some good. I put concealer or foundation over top to look work-ready. It's not terribly long lasting, though, and my dark circles show through in no time flat. I also wish it was more moisture-rich. I felt like it was making the skin under my eyes dry, and that's just not good.

Maybe if I didn't have dry skin or the dark circles, then this product would be great, but for me, I think there's better out there.
