Overall, I like this eye cream, but I don't love it. It is very moisturizing and sets a good base for eye make-up like concealer. It does not have a very strong fragrance, it is very light. It looks kind of pinkish pearly in the jar but is quite emollient so a little goes a long way. The texture of the cream is not very creamy or gel-like, it's a very unique texture like cream and powder (it's hard to describe) like it is smooth but not in a light and fluffy like Clinique's All About Eyes. A really good thing is that it doesn't just sit on my skin like it dissolves very good and allows smooth makeup application. I don't like the packaging as a jar because of sanitary reasons but it seems like it's a popular package for many eye creams that I have seen. In terms of the pricing of this product, it is way overpriced for a simple moisturizing eye cream as it does not have anti-aging properties in it. Most of MAC skin care products are overpriced, imo. Again, I like it because it does moisturize my eye area but I have found a cheaper moisturizing eye cream that delivers the same performance. So I wouldn't buy this again because I think it's too expensive for what it does.

Initially, I bought this when I could NOT get that ridiculous Studio Sculpt Concealer to go on smoothly under my eyes. No matter what eye cream I used, it looked dry and chalky so I figured I would try Moisturelush as it looked VERY rich, smoothing and like it would help the concealer work better. Well, it didn't but in the process I discovered an eye cream that I really, really like. It seems as though it's pretty "low tech" - no secret ingredients with made up, "scientific-sounding" names - but it's very emollient and pleasant and does a great job of putting smoothing over the undereye area. Some may not like the packaging and feel it's not hygienic but given the thickness of the cream, I can't imagine that any other type of packaging could work. I just use a clean, sanitized spatula to take out the amount I need. This might be too heavy for younger skins and perhaps not the best for everyone for daytime wear (though I haven't had a problem) but if you are looking for a richer formulation for the under eye area, give this one a try.
Update: 28/11/10: Last week, the MAC sales clerk I usually deal with told me that they were told at a seminar that this eye cream was going to be discontinued. I told her what a bone-headed move that was for the company but I guess this is probably not a big seller for them. In any case, I will be stocking up on this product and hoping that, unopened, it will keep.

PLEASE NOTE: i know the website might tell you this is supposed to help with eye circles, but it doesn't. This is used for people with super dry lids and under eye area. If your looking for a eye-safe cream to just cure the dryness, then this will do. Most eye creams are composed of the same ingredients as a normal face lotion give or take some. I have sensitive eyes and this did not bother them at all.
If you are looking for a miracle, you wont find that in any eye cream unless it has SPF in it, which this does not, and thats why I gave it 4 lippies. Want to prevent those fine lines? Find a cream with proper UVA protection.

This is a decent eye cream. I don't have darkness or any issues with the skin around my eyes, it's more of a preventive measure. It hydrates my eyes nicely & does have a bit of a shimmer to it. Leaves more of a faint radiance behind. It's a very thick formula so this will last me quite awhile. I do not like the packaging, I hate dipping my fingers into things ESPECIALLY when it comes to dealing with the eyes. All in all I would say this is average. continued >>

I have been using this product for about 6 months now, and ya it does moisturize under the eye, but what eye cream doesnt. It is pretty expensive, i think you can save your money and buy an eye cream from somewhere more cheaper. It only moisturizes under your eye it doesnt do anything else it claims to do.

My under eye area is very dry; especially in the winter. I had to stop wearing concealer, because my eyes were so dry and flaky. I tried Oil of Olay, Clinique, Garnier, and even Chanel eye creams, but nothing worked. The MUA at MAC kept telling me about it but I wouldn't listen; I just thought that it was another overrated MAC product. I finally broke down and bought it!!! It is a miracle product; IMO! My under eye area is very moisturized now!!! The MUA that helped me told me, "Now you will listen to us"!!!!!

I bought MAC moisturelush eye cream hoping it would fight first expression lines under my eyes. It did not, but left the area around my eyes nicely hydrated. I would describe it more as a balm than a cream and it felt very soothing when I applied it at night. In the morning however I used an eye gel, because moisturelush was not a good make up base (my eyeshadow tended to crease). However it looks nice applied without makeup because it has a slight pinkish shimmer which makes dark circles less visible.
I did not like the package though because jars in general are less hygienic than tubes and I noticed that in the mornig my eyes tended to by slightly red.

Yet again another skin care product from Mac which isn't all that they claim it to be! Again, I had read so many good reviews on this product too but I was let down! I didn't think it moisturised my eye area that well let alone the other things its supposed to do. Apparently this cream is supposed to be thicker than the face moisturelush cream, well good job I didn't buy that then, as this didn't do much for me.

Really locks in moisture and feels luxurious. It gives a really bright eyed effect as well which is great when there's not much time in the mornings!
The only problem I have with it is the packaging. It does last quite a long time because you don't need much of it for each application, but the tub is really small. I also find myself screwing the cap on so tightly in fear of it disappearing (like so many eye creams do!), and then it's really annoying to open again!
I put it on a little thicker at night and I have noticed my lashes are so very conditioned compared to what they were prior to using it. I've never had this from any other eye cream I've used.
I've been using it for about 18 months and always have a back up because it is just that good :)

This product really brought on the moisture! It practically solved my dry skin around my eyes after a couple of days and nights of use. Just a little goes a long way. You only need to barely need a pinkie-tip worth of product. And gently massage the product around the eye area before trying to get more. You might end up using too much product if you don't.
Update: The initial effects of this product didn't last the entirety of the amount in the package. I started to feel dried out and back to my same face in less than a month.

Great eye cream, leaves the eye area well hydrated and very smoothed. I dont think it does much in the way of firming or lifting around the eye area though.
It has optical diffusers (that pearlescent gleam) that helps to soften fine lines, and neutralize darkness under the eye with the application.

So i am currently trying out a sample of this I got from my MAC counter and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. I don't believe in miracle eye creams...the ones that say they de-puff your eye and lightens the dark circles. I am fairly young..21 so I'm not really looking for anti-wrinkle products either. I do wear eye make up everyday and have to remove it everyday so I am somewhat worried about dryness around my eyes. So I have been looking for a moisturizing eye cream and I think I have found this. Like i said I have a sample of this and have only been using this for about a week but I do really like it. The full sized tub is $30 us and I like the packaging. People don't seem to like it cuz its really plain but I think its practical. Some other eye cream tubs have grooves in the packaging which makes it harder for you to take the product out but I like the tub. I guess a tube would be better for sanitary issue but eh..i'm not going to be sticking my fingers in there w/o washing my hands anyways. Ive also read that some people think that this is an expensive product but you have to know that most dept store eye creams give the same amount of product at roughly the same price. This eyecream is 0.5oz for $30 while lets say the clinique all about eyes is 0.5oz for $28.50 (which is NOT a good eye cream fyi).
The product itself is super moisturizing and stays moisturized for the whole night. I also apply this in the morning and it helps my under eye concealer stay put and apply smoothly which is a big plus. It looks pearly and iridescent in the tub but once on your skin that disappears which I like. A little goes a long way with this. I only apply a tiny bit and its smooths over my skin and absorbs well too! I will definitely purchase the whole tub when my sample runs out!

This is a thick cream coloured moisturiser that has little light reflecting paticles intended to help brighten the eye area. It absorbs really fast and moisturises very well without making my eyelids too greasy at the end of the day. A little goes a long way. I only apply a tiny amount to my fourth finger and gently pat around my eye area (undereyes and lids). It does brighten the eye area a lil, its no miracle worker but is ideal for my young skin. If I dont find anything just as good and cheaper then i'll repurchase :)

This is a decent eye cream. It's by no means the best, but it is good for those who just need some moisture, a decent base for undereye concealers, and don't really have any eye complaints.

MAC's MoistureLush Eye - while giving a good amount of moisture - doesn't do much besides that. If you're looking for a product that will diminish undereye circles or evenout discolouration on the lids - this is not it. Also, I didn't find this product did any temporary, immediate brightening to the undereye/tear duct area whatsoever. I don't have particularly dark circles, but I do have slightly pink-ish lids. This product did nothing for either issue. (Granted, MoistureLush doesn't market itself as anything but a heavy-duty moisture-depositing eye cream. But these rave reviews about MLE as an all-around moisture/dark circle/eyelid treatment hasn't been my experience.)

The cream itself is a vanilla colour, with a pale pink (Pink Opal pigment-esque) duochrome to it, but that was completely invisible once patted on. The product seemed to have a vague hint of MAC's signature sugar cookie/vanilla smell, but a month in, that seems to have dissapeared.

That said, this product is quite creamy without being overly emollient or feeling like Vaseline. It sinks into the eye contour area quite easily, without being sticky and without requiring violent, heavy-handed rubbing in. It also seems to last a good amount of time - I'm maybe a quarter of the way through the product after 1 month of once-nightly usage. The jar's small size is deceiving.

No milia or irritation to report. Though having the eyecream in a pot one has to dip their fingers into probably doesn't bode to well for those with sensitive eyes.

I don't think, however, I'd buy this again as I don't think the average results justify the price. There are other eye creams I'm more interested in trying for the price, and eye creams I've had better luck with & more noticeable results for an equal price-point. Overall, I'd reccomend this product to MAC addicts (hey, you can use this for B2MAC) and those who need a simple eye cream for moisture only, and want something mid-range. continued >>

This burns my eyes. Everyone at work is asking why my eyes are so red! Not good. This is day two of using this; Day 1 I noticed a tingling, but thought it was just the caffeine...Taking this back asap. I do like the packaging and my eye area feels soft, but also sore, so I can't use this...(Very sensitive skin, so I really shouldn't be looking to MAC skin care...)

i like this cream , i purchased it with the moisturelush face cream and both work well . the only bad thing i have to say about this is that its a stupid price for such a small SMALL tub , an this is a reason i knocked off a lippie , its just way to little for the price i paid , 32 euro which is about 45 dollars , but i did buy it and i dont regret it because its really good on the eyes and dosent irriate for now . next time i might try all about eyes by clinique, basicly its a good eye cream with no bells and wistles , just an eye moistureizer!
UPDATE ...i am loveing this even more , today after only a couple of more days i notcie fine lines are less noticable , HG!!
