Just like the jingle-I’m lovin it!
But I wasn’t loving the fact that the Estee Lauder Advanced Time Zone eye cream I was using suddenly changed their formula without warning. Either that or the stock at Macy’s Windward was so old that the eye cream muushed into something thinner than the Crisco like thickness I love in my moisturizer and eye cream.
So, off I go in search of a new eye cream that has the magical stick to it ness of Crisco.
Crisco?
Well, if you’re a younger person you probably have no idea what the thick, white, magical crisp making chicken aka shortening of which I speak.
Just picture something THICK-maybe p butter is a better example.
Anyway.
I had seen Clinique’s new Pep Start eye cream somewhere in a magazine maybe Allure-and thought I’d check it out at the Clinique counter.
Cliinique counter no more! 
What?
The new product is sold only at Sephora or clinique.com!
Ok-that’s cool cuz I have a sephora gift card anyway. So the next time I was at the mall I checked it out.
The packaging is a bright vitamin C orange tube, with a sphere shaped tip where the product comes out. I figure this is so, if you want, you can squeeze some up and apply the product right from the tube.
Ok in theory, but one could potentially contaminate the product in the tube with whatever cream, serum or whatever you previously applied to your skin.
So, I apply with fingertips-squirt a little of the thick product on the tips, rub to warm and pat all around the eyes.
I so totally ignore the make up counter directions to pat only on the orbital (eye socket) bones.
I have to tell you that this product delivers the claim that is directly addresses puffiness.
In the morning, I’ve dabbed on moisturizer first thing for years. But have noticed that my eyes are a little puffier.
So, first thing in the am I have added Pep Smart to my regimen.
By the time I am off, my puffs look pretty good.
Plus, I like the way the cream moisturizes for most of the day.
It wears well under concealer too.
Thing is, I spoke to the Clinique area rep and asked her why they don’t sell it at other retailers. Her explanation was that sometimes Clinique is testing a product and limits distribution, and later if the product proves popular, distributes everywhere.
Another explanation from a clinique counter was, Sephora sometimes negotiates for product exclusivity so…
Anyway-a high recommend. Only $27 bucks. Worth it.
