Peptobismol on a stick, is what this is. Pink funky fluid that is shiny, and makes me look like i rubbed pork fat under my eyes, for goodness sake. benefit needs to stop charging ridiculose prices for such mediocre products. Plain concealer works better under the eyes.

I love this product, although like most of BeneFits products, I feel like the name is misleading. I bought this hoping for an actual lift, but really it only makes my eyes look lifted,by depositing a light irridecent color. It goes on after your makeup and I can really see the difference, my eyes look brighter and actually appear less creased underneath. I think that this product would make a great highlighter for your brow bone too although I have never used it for that purpose. The price at the BeneFit counter is outrageous, but, a seller on ebay made it possible for me to purchace this way below retail and I am glad I bought it. If you really want a product that lifts, you should look elsewere, but for the illusion of lifting, this is A-okay.

This has been one of my daily staple products since 1996. I love the user friendly convenience of the wand in a tube, always find myself putting this product on while driving (sorry, though accident free due to the easy application). This gives my eyes an instant pick me up in the morning, depuffs my under eye, always feel a tightening, and definetly highlights the area with a white/pinky glow. This is a light weight milky liquid formula that blends in easily, with a few pat, pat, pats. I have recently tried YSL Touche Eclait and of course am very impressed with the highlighting abilities of that product as well. These are 2 different products, though they both highlight and reflect dark circles, YSL claims to hide fine lines and will not tighten sagging under eyes, as this product really tightens and de-puffs. Depends on what fix you need more, though for half the price of YSL this product is worth it (though only comes in 1 color- more for pinky, light toned skin).
EDIT** I used this product for years, no ploblems, for the past year have used YSL Touche Eclait, and now a year later I suddenly have massive milia/syringoma bumps under my eye!! Beware of products like these, they may give u a slight fix now, but you may pay for the rest of your life a few years later when you begin to see the after affects of these highly emmolient products. Note there is No way to remove Milia bumps under the eye, too sensitive an area... can have them cut out surgically, thugh the sweat gland below will continue to purge bumps and they will only come back. These products r not worth it!!

Did not do ANYTHING! I plunked down a lot of cash for this ($18) and I was very disapointed. There was no tingling, no brightening, no cooling sensation, nada damn thing. Don't waste your money.

Mmmm. Didn't achieve much by using this I'm afraid. Quite a runny cream liquid, light baby pink in colour, with a shimmer to it.
Applied under my eyes (which are not bagged or shadowed really) it gave a slight brightening effect, but I felt the product was too thin and sheer and blended almost away to nothing but a slight sheen.
I use Chanel's Blanc Universal under my eye area usually, and this does the job a treat, and you get tons of the stuff for just 20GPB. I'll stick to that I think!

I wouldn't go a day without this stuff. It brightens the eye area, making me look younger. I don't like the artificial look of concealers, so to me this is perfect. I've tried going without it and the difference in appearance is great. Just dab it a few times under each eye and pat to spread. It feels and looks good.

Eh. BeneFit's Ooh la lift sorta works, and sorta doesn't. Yes, the cool tingly feeling is nice, and my eyes look a bit more 'awake' after I apply it, but it doesn't really cut down on the bags or on the undereye circles. Overall, it's a mixed bag.

This is a quick pick me up for my eyes. Lightens the under eye area so you look more awake. I only gave it a three because it just a temporary fix. You need to keep reapplying for results. Totally portable with fast results.

I give this a 4 because it works but not great. I use it EVERY morning because it makes me feel better. I am only 21 years old but I do have under eye circles sometimees. At least I can see them. Anyway, I like the container and I find it easy to use. Just dab a few light pink dots to your under eye area and blend with your finger. The color doesn't bother me and blends completely into my skin. However, I do think it is a little pricy but you get a good amount so you won't have to purchase frequently. $18 a tube.

Just got this and it has already become a major staple! I have very dark under eye circles and I'm always very puffy in the mornings. I dab a little of this wand and pat it under my eyes (and in the upper corners as well) and it's a true lifesaver, very brightening! It does not get rid of my circles completely, but used in combination with my concealer I can completely hide my circles now. I especially love the texture...it is a very light & thin liquid that just melts right into the skin. Another thing I love about this product is that I can just use this and apply a little more mineral foundation under my eyes and I can actually do without concealer now if I want to! I will definitely be buying this again and again!

I've bought this product twice because as far as creams for the eye area go, its pretty reasonable in price. I find that its a good base for my concealer, but I don't think that it really brightens or help undereye circles without a concealer. Maybe its because I have medium skin tone versus fair and the product is pink? I'm still looking for a good eye cream that doesn't cost a fortune.

This really seems to wake up my eyes-- I put it on when I'm all puffy and sleepy and it instantly brightens and de-puffs my eyes.

This is a light pink cream in a wand marketed as a solution to dark undereye circles. I noticed a definite brightening but no tightening; overall, I have vary fair skin with pink undertones, so it worked perfectly to brighten my undereye area, making me look more alert, if nothing else. I'd buy it again.
