Eye Cream Review: Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Cream

Hello folksickles. Today's review will be for Laura Mercier Illuminating Eye Cream

Availability: This product retails at $58 for 15 ml (0.50 fl. oz.) and is available at bluemercury.com, macys.com, bloomingdales.com and nordstrom.com along with their physical store locations as well as at glamglow.com

Would I buy this?: Yes. 

What is this product designed to address?

According to sephora.com this is what the product is and what it does:

What it is: An energizing eye cream that brightens dark circles and reduces visible signs of fatigue for glowing, well-rested eyes.

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily

Skincare Concerns: Dark Circles, Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and Dryness

Formulation: Lightweight Cream

Ingredient Callouts: Free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil. This product is also gluten-free.

What Else You Need to Know: Never look tired again. This fast-absorbing cream works on all skin tones to energize and brighten under and around the eye for a well-rested look. With linoleic acid, watermelon, apple, and narcissus extracts, it helps repair the delicate eye-area skin’s moisture barrier and prevent future signs of fatigue while gently erasing the look of fine lines and wrinkles in just four weeks.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to sephora.com:

-Illuminating Spheres: Brighten dark circles.

-Caffeine: Energizes and revitalizes.

-Hyaluronic Acid: Plumps and hydrates all day.

-Peptides: Help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles around the entire eye area.

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as hydrating and creamy, it's a bit on the thick side but not painfully so. 

Is it scented?

This has a very faint floral 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. It also has a nice pinkish pearl to add instant brightness. Overall I like the effect that this has.

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