MAC FAST RESPONSE EYE CREAM $28.50 USD
The super-charged, caffeinated cream with instant effects. De-puffs, erases the look of dark circles, firms, soothes and softens skin around the eye. Special optics act like magic to fade away lines.PRICE
I'm really not all that down with spending nearly $30 on a single product. A makeup brush I'm more inclined to drop the cash, but I find myself less willing to shell out the dough when it comes to something that will eventually deplete itself. But on the flip side to this frugal situation, $30 is an affordable fee when it comes to taking care of something as important as the skin around the eye.
PACKAGING
The MAC Fast Response Eye Cream is presented in a travel friendly squeeze tube with a black screw top. Also an easy item to toss into your handbag or purse for those late mornings when the snooze button wins.
As part of the packaging, the tube is equipped with a built-in needle tip to allow for controlled gradual product dispensing. This is a very useful feature especially when a little goes a long way and this is one product you don't want to be wasteful on!
PRODUCT CONSISTENCY
The consistency of the MAC Fast Response Eye Cream is not runny like milk yet not firm like gel. It is also very lightweight and smooths easily into the skin and finishes with a soft and silky texture. This is why I bought the product!!
THE EXPERIENCE
The comparison between where the product is on the back of my hand to where it isn't, is more convincing of it's ability to fade away lines than on my eye. On my eye, it doesn't erase deep creasing but it does smooth out some of the hardly noticeable fine lines.
And in smoothing out the skin, my eyelids feel like silk when I have this on! If you don't have oily eyelids, you could probably get away with using this as an eyeshadow primer as well. I can't because as the day wears on, I notice my crease starting to secrete oil.
WHAT I LIKE
- The way it makes my eyelids feel; soft, smooth, and silky.
- It smells lovely... just as all MAC face products normally do.
- The needle-point dispenser and overall packaging.
- Price tag. But in retrospeck, taking care of your eyes is priceless.
- If you put too much, there are eraser-like shavings.
- you're looking to smooth out the skin texture around your eyes.
- you have normal eyelids and want to double up on an eye cream and eyeshadow primer. As an eyeshadow primer it won't enhance your eyeshadow color, but it could very well keep your eyeshadow from creasing.
- you like the effects of caffeine and think your eyes could use some outside of your normal morning brew.
- the packaging is spot on for you.
- you like products where a little goes a long way. Such is the case with this product. Looks small but enough to feed your eye for months!
- $30 does better at feeding you for a day than an eye cream. Hah!
- you're not fond of a siiilky, smooooth, sooooft eye. Hah (x2)!
I like having the MAC Fast Response Eye Cream on my eyes even when I'm sans makeup because it seems to give my eyes a naturally matted look even despite the fact that it doesn't keep the oils away like traditional eyeshadow primer. And nothing can beat the smooth and silk texture it gives to the eyes. Just knowing that my eyes start out that way before I apply my eyeshadow makes the experience that much more fun.
I can't necessarily say that it visually "super-charged" my eyes as I didn't feel wide-eyed like I had just drank a cup of coffee. But the way it makes your eyes feel definitely made up for that.
If you were to buy this, I know that you will definitely enjoy the way it makes your eyes feel - NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT :) Did I say that enough in this review?!? ;)
