So I love Antipodes - from the packaging, to the pots and droppers, to the product. I was so excited to get this product (Christmas BBBE) to try.
Well, it come sin the usual cute box with a cute 30ml pot inside. the product is a moderately creamy cream. All the things I love so far, BUT, the smell. Oh dear. I don't know what it is but it is strong and bordering on unpleasant. That is a shame because I really like the effect of the product so far - smooth and less puffy under-eyes, that look and feel more hydrated and smooth.
I am going to persevere if I can because I think it's great for my skin, but it isn't that nice and the smell lingers. I'm not sure that I can recommend it, but definitely would if the scent was different.
This is described as ‘brightening’ I would say it brightens when you first apply it but once it dries it isn’t noticeable. It is very thick and does really need to be patted into the skin so it’s absorbed . You need the tiniest bit because it spreads a lot further than you think it will. It has a subtle vanilla scent which dissipates once applied. This has to be one of the most hydrating eye creams I’ve tried and for that reason I will definitely purchase it again.
Tips: It works well under concealer but needs to sit on the skin for a few minutes or your concealer will separate.
