Eye Cream Review: m-61 Hydraboost Eye Cream

Hello folksickles. Today's review will be for m-61 Hydraboost Eye Cream
Availability: This product retails at $82 for 15 ml (0.50 fl. oz.) and is exclusive to bluemercury.com and macys.com along with their physical store locations (only Macy's with a bluemercury inside).

Would I buy this?: No. 

What is this product designed to address?
According to bluemercury.com this is what the product is and what it does:
WHAT IT IS
This rich, fast-absorbing under eye cream increases hydration and helps to visibly firm while decreasing the appearance of undereye puffiness. Power-packed peptides help to strengthen the delicate eye area, while vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid work to plump and replenish moisture.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to bluemercury.com:
Vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid bind water to the skin, helping to plump and replenish the skin’s moisture level.
Glycolic acid helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and improves the skin’s tone, texture and clarity.
Peptides help promote firming and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Tamarind helps to improve elasticity and hydration.
Aloe and centella asiatica soothe the skin.
White mulberry and soy help to improve microcirculation.

What is the texture like?
I'd describe the texture as having a hydrating creamy texture, it's neither too thick nor too thin. 

Is it scented?
This has a clean, slightly earthy, scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
I really liked this eye cream because it goes on soft and silky - it provides me with enough hydration to keep my eye area looking plump and soft but isn't so heavy or slick that makeup slides all over it. I actually really liked this in terms of its texture and the hydration it gives. That said, I personally think $78 is steep. I feel like I've gotten similar results with less pricey products.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
