Review: Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash. Worth £26.50 20ml

There are tons of eye cream on the market to choose from, and when you finally have to make a decision on choosing one, which one do you go for? The first things I ask myself are what are the qualities I'm looking for in my eye cream i.e. moister and hydration, brightening, or anti-age. I'm only just 20 therefore anti-agents is a no-no for now, so this leaves me with hydrating and brightening creams.

So what's next? I turned to Clarins for something new as I've never bought products from them before, so I was a new customer hoping to be impressed, and I am! The cream isn't scented which is always a plus, because I don't want perfume diffused in something for my eyes (the skin around the eyes is a lot thinner and in my case easily irritated by heavily
perfumed products).

Tip: My rule to applying any creams would be applying all face/body moisturiser within 3 minutes of drying, as the damp skin will absorb the product by locking it in.

The biggest problem I had around the eyes was when I applied concealer and it got quite cakey. After using the eye cream day and night it reduced the dryness, making it easier to apply make up around that area without drying.

What's my verdict? I would suggest this if you're eyes need that extra push in moister. The main thing to keep in mind for first time buyers are to not expect everything to change after the first application (don't expect miracles). Always bare in mind creams do take a few days to take full effect, so no getting stressy about whether its working or not. I use eye creams on a daily basis and compared to the previous hydrating serum by Lancome, this is far better. This is a pricey product even I had to think twice about it, but I wouldn't dismiss it as it does what it says on the tin. You don't always have to purchase the product, most department stores especially Clarins will offer you testers. Tell me how you find this.

Look out for my review on the Garnier Roll On for eyes.
