I ordered mine off beautylish who is my fav online store. I get really bad black looking eyes due to pain, lack of sleep and allergies.
Now I have the IT bye bye undereye which I absolutely love but wanted to try this. I wanted to compare what each does so I've been experimenting.
So this comes in a small glass jar with a twist lid. The lid has becca punched I to it. It's very simple understated packaging and you think good god its small for the price! So twist off the lid and inside in a cream product. Swatch in it on your hand it reminds me of a highlighter. It sort of glows.
I apply it with a concealer brush under the eye and in the inner corner. I let it sit there for a few seconds and then pat in with my finger. The first time I did apply to much. Less is more with this! Now talk about making your eye look fresh! The first time i applied i kept seeing my reflection in mirrors and each time I was amazed at how fresh my eyes looked. I didn't have any makeup on, just this.
2nd time I applied the same way and used a RoVie mineral foundation over the top. Now for me this is absolutely the perfect combination. I found using the powder sort of set it. So it didn't feel like there was something there when I touched my face. So imagine you have a rubber, you run it along the line of a pencil and the pencil slowly vanishes. Well this is what this did to my dark eyes.
I like adding a extra bit to the inner corner and also brow bone for a bit more of a glow.
Yesterday my eyes looked a real mess (like I'd been punched!) I used this, then the RoVie, then tapped this over top, then a dash or RoVie again. It removed the darkness yet added a glow to make my eyes look more normal.
Yes I have used with the IT bye bye undereye as well. It's a gorgeous combo. Now if you were asking if you had to have 1 or the other what would I pick? Both! This is really really really lightweight. You can't even notice you have it on. The IT is thicker and also hides fine lines more that this one. This is perfect for the person who hates the feel of makeup and doesn't want to feel all cake
Will I buy again? Yes buy the bathtub size!
So after chatting to farmer's wife one day she told me I absolutely needed this in my life as it was the best under eye brightener. So off I go to the beautylish site.
Once it arrived I was impressed with the packaging a pink lid with the Becca logo and the frosted glass jar, it's interesting looking where the lid is a higher than the jar.
I open it up to discover a peachy pink looking cream. It looks almost solid on first appearance.
I grab a small concealer brush and dab it in the jar, just getting enough product on the brush I dab it over my dark circles then finish the rest of my face. I look in the mirror and what a mess. Take 2, I dab it on with my ring finger and still only use a smidge of product, then set it with powder, finish face end up with cakey mess, try several other tricks and put it away I gave up about to bin it. Then Chikoboo comes up with the idea I need to use a very slightly damp sponge to set the powder, BINGO! I won (thanks Chikoboo it works a treat) I have no cakey look and no settling in my fine lines. Not only did It cover the black rings but it also brightened the whole under eye area. It doesn't melt or wear away and it looks the same 8 hours after applying it, I'm like a whole new person.
Since I've learnt how to use this product properly I'm in love! I look so wide awake and like I've had decent sleep, even though I'm exhausted from insomnia at least it doesn't show on the outside. This small jar of magic will last for a very long time too considering how little you need to use each time.
