Hi there!!!
Yup, I know. Its been a while. Sigh... My
health is just not at its best form these days. I hope everyone else is well. We are now into the third month of 2013. Wow! So soon??!
Anyways, today I will share my thoughts on a Smashbox
product that I had purchased from Sephora. It is the Smashbox Photo
Finish Hydrating Undereye Primer. Here is what Smashbox has to say about this product: "Hydrating formula primes the eye area while reducing the look of puffiness and dark circles. Smooth under eyes before makeup application or wear alone for instant brightening."
The Photo Finish Undereye Primer comes in a 10mL tranparent
squeeze tube with a slanted end with a small opening through which you
squeeze the product out. I believe the idea behind the slanting end is
so that it is easy to apply directly under the eyes.
The product feels almost gel like to touch and appears pink with a bit
of pearlescence shine to it. I could not appreciate the minty smell that
some reviews have mentioned. Instead, to me it smells "oily", if that
makes any sense at all?
On application to my undereyes, it felt smooth and cooling.
I also noticed that my undereye was instantly brightened too.
Therefore, i was initially quite impressed. Unfortunately, that was the
one and only time i used it for the following 2 reasons:-
1) although it did made my skin under the eyes feels
smoother, when it comes to aplying undereye concealer, i was struggling
with the concelaer "moving" too much. I find it a bit difficult to pat
the concealer into my skin with my ring finger and ended up with an
uneven finish which is not appealing at all.
2) the main reason why i did not use this product after my
first trial is that i am allergic to it!! =( how do i know? Well, at the
end of that day when i removed my makeup i noticed the area under my
eyes were puffy and a bit itchy. This tends to happen when i use
products that are not suitable for my skin. Puffy, itchy and redness.
Conclusion:
Even if i was not allergic to it, this cream wont help me much with concealer application. But like I always say, "Product that works for me may not work for you, and vice versa". =)Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer is available at Sephora for MYR99.
