Review: La Mer The Illuminating Eye Gel

I love La Mer products, even though they are as expensive as they are, as they feel really luxurious to use and I have purchased their The Moisturizing Gel Cream several times after I first discovered it. So when I saw that they had a fairly reasonably priced eye gel, I decided to give it a try.

And I do like The Illuminating Eye Gel, but not as much as The Moisturizing Gel Cream. The eye gel feels equally luxurious and the packaging is just as nice but I did not feel that the results were as spectacular as with the gel cream.

By no means is this a bad eye gel, it is definitely among the better ones I have tried but for the price you pay, you kind of expect... well, if not a miracle, then half a miracle at least. But the gel is very nice to the touch and feels silky and nice and did not cause any allergic reactions or anything (you would be surprised by how many eye creams and gels do!) and I like that a little goes a long way with it.

I do, however, dislike that the container cannot be opened so you can scoop out every last bit, feels kind of wasteful as I know how much is usually left in pump bottles when they stop pumping.

But these are all minor complaints really. This is a good eye gel, if expensive. If I would purchase it again? Sure, if I find a good deal for it, but I am not sure it will be a must have for me in the same way The Moisturizing Gel Cream is.
