Beauty Lab 101 Review: Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash

Once again, I found myself on another quest to find a new under-eye circle treatment cream. There I was, in the middle of the isle, debating between PeterThomasRoth Power K Eye Rescue and Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Eye Balm. So I turned to a Sephora representative and asked for a suggestion. She showed me the Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash and said it was her favorite. And since I was on a budget, the price was just right. So I gave it a shot.

Here is what I thought...

Clarins claim:
Refreshes, Tightens, Brightens

A fresh, comfortable micro-gel which melts into the skin and acts like an invisible "radiance patch": it gently decongests, eliminating dark circles, puffiness and fine lines while hydrating and protecting the fragile skin of the eye contour.

Length of time: I have been using this product for 2+ Months
Pros: Kept my delicate under-eye skin moisturized. Wasn't sticky or hard to apply. The lotion went on even and very smoothly.
See a difference? Not really. Maybe this kept my skin moisturized so that I didn't get more wrinkles...?
Recommend to a friend? Although I wasn't completely satisfied with this product, I might recommend it to a friend if they were looking for a light eye moisturizer. Who knows, this product could end up working better for someone else.

I guess I will have to continue my search for the perfect under-eye cream. If any of you have suggestions, please let me know or if you have tried the ones above-leave a review on Sephora.com. Then we can all benefit from your trials!

What I want right now....

There are so many fun beauty products - I can't wait to try them all!

1) Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara
I'm always down to try out new innovative products. This one looks fun, just hope I don't poke my eye out.

2) Eye Envy Tropics Kit
These things look like they will take some time off my morning make-up routine. If I'm feeling kinda crazy and wild- I would go for the Eye Envy Exotic Kit.


3) Anything from Kevyn Aucoins collection. I want to try it all! I have his books and heard many good things about his collection. So I am super excited to see that Sephora is now carrying his line.

4) Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 30
Since I'm outside way more than I ever was in Vegas, sunscreen has become more important to me. I use a lot of Peter Thomas Roth products and I love them. Pricey, but great quality. This looks easy and I won't get my hands greasy!

5) Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Eye Treatment
I'm always on the lookout for dark circle treatment creams. This one looks interesting. Gotta try everything once!



Oh and by the way...I recommend The Lash Stash for those of you having issues finding the right mascara. I love Sephora-GENIUS!

Look like you've had a full nights sleep with Tricia Sawyer

You know me, always looking for a product that will make me look like a million bucks after a night of partying. By golly I think I found it! Its called Eye Slept by Tricia Sawyer. It states on the website that Eye Slept can go on over or under you make-up and remember a little goes a long way -this is totally true! Its creamy, silky consistency was easy to put on and completely made me look awake. I only needed a small dab too - I think this will last me for a long time! Ahhhhhhh heaven!
