Part of Boots' Botanics line, this product claims to soothe/revitalize the eye area with liquorice, horsechestnut and apple extracts, as well as even out skin tone and act as a base for lasting eye color. While I found that it did help to even out the skin tone around my eyes, this was not an ideal product for me and I don't think I will be repurchasing. - This comes in one color, which is not visible from the outside packaging-- it's like a medium tone with an almost orangey tint. I imagine this does not work at all for those with fair skin. - The consistency of the base is thin-- almost oily. Since my skin is on the oily side, this seemed to exacerbate creasing for me if I tried to wear eyeshadow over it. - I don't think I can speak much about it's soothing properties, but I can say that it did not irritate my sensitive skin at all. - There's a good amount of the product, which is nice for the $8.99 price. Overall, this product may be good for covering slight under eye circles or eye area discoloration, as long as you have neither fair nor oily skin...
