I am not sure where to start with this product. Whether to start with its extortionate price of £19.99 or it's terrible performance and packaging. But I will start off by saying I am very disappointed.
I have used this eye cream for quite a while, hoping to see even a little bit of a difference to my eyes. Quite frankly I felt it pointless applying it, firstly it is a chore to put on due to the smell and texture of the cream. Secondly, in the mornings I found putting make-up on top of the cream (even after I had let it soak in) didn't feel right and felt slightly uncomfortable.
The smell of this eye cream is terrible, I'm not even sure how to describe it. To me, it smells like gone off cream. This is not what I want to be smelling in the morning or at night. The cream itself is thick and white that feels sticky and stiff when I apply it to my eyes. The packaging, I just do not understand. Compared to all other Burt's Bees products that have lovely bright interesting packaging, this eye cream is really bare. Of course as you can see the box is decorated, but the actual tub of eye cream is plain and boring. Not what I expected when I bought it, however I think they have slightly changed the packaging now.
This product is such a shame because I really like Burt's Bees products (specifically their face wash, body scrub, lip balm's and foot cream)

thanks for the review! I found it very helpful as I also love their products and I've been thinking about buying that cream...
