REVIEW: Clarins Eye Contour Balm

I’ve been battling dark(and I mean REALLY DARK!) circles and fine lines/wrinkles for the longest time ever! I have used countless number of creams, that even after 2 months of use, I dotn see the slightest change. I figured dark circles wasnt as big a priority as wrinkles were cuz I can easily conceal dark circles. If you see any of my photos, you wouldnt think I have dark super dark circles hidden under those layers of makeup! But I do! And Im glad I conceal them very well but lets face it, wrinkles or fine lines, is something makeup will NEVER conceal! Infact applying makeup only further accentuates those finelines!

So I was out shopping with my bestfriend in ROBINSONS CentrePoint when I went to a few beauty counters to enquire about what product would work best for my finelines when my bestfriend grabbed me and pulled me over to the CLARINS Counter and picked out the CLARINS EYE CONTOUR BALM and told me how she sweared by it, saying it does a brilliant job! I figured Id try it since she’s my bestfriend and obviously has some experience with the cream! :)

RESULTS?? Three weeks later and I assure you, I see atleast a 50-60% difference! Previously, when I smiled, the lines would show VERY obviously but now its not as obvious. Im not saying my fine lines diminished completely! They have reduced in appearance! and though the tube finishes really fast, I dont mind forking out another $70+ to buy another tube cuz I know for a fact that I DO see results!
And the best part about this is that you can apply makeup ontop of it! For people like me, eye creams may be a tedious task as I need to apply makeup(concealer) and most eyecreams dont go so well with applying makeup after application of eyecreams. But for this CLARINS EYE CONTOUR BALM, you can apply your makeup immediately after! I also see a slight reduction in my dark circles too! I still have pretty bad dark circles but they seem to have lightened a bit!

WHAT IT DOES: From the first signs of aging this balm repairs the delicate skin of the eye contour. They smooth the eyelids by restoring their elasticity and minimize wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet.

WILL I BUY IT AGAIN: Im heading out today to buy myself another tube!

WHERE TO BUY: Major departmental stores

    I’m tryin out lancome genetique. It’s fantastic. I used it for 3 days n I feel fresher, rejuvenated n my face seems fairer too. My eye bags n rings r almost diminished. My make up slides on better as well due to the smooth after effect of the concentrate. But I’ll def try out the on u recommend as well when I’m done with my bottle of lance product.
