Smashbox has just released their new "revolutionary" product which is suppossed to be a miracle all in one eye cream, de-puffer, BB cream, concealer, highlighter............actually, it's too long to type.
Here it is, just Keep Reading!
Smashbox Says; " Everything you love about BB Cream, plus everything you'd want from an eye cream, our latest game-changer does it all. It fades the look of dark circles instantly and over time Reduces the appearence of puffiness
Visibly smooths fine lines and wrinkles Noticeably improves firmness, PLUS Primes, Protects, Conceals, Hydrates and Illuminates!
TIP: Try using BB eyes as a contour product and apply on brow bones to create the illusion of a lifted brow! WORKS WELL WITH HIGH DEFINITION LIQUID CONCEALER!"

If you purchase Smashbox Camera Ready BB EYE Cream under the basis of even one of these claims, you will likely be sorely disappointed. What is interesting however, is that if Smashbox didn't set the bar so ridiculously high with their promises, it is a halfway unique product.

Instead of the typical highlighter/concealer click pen formula which is liquidy & usually provides sheer coverage, this has a matte finish & a long lasting, thicker formula. While the formula is interesting for the dispensing method, I think that it will cause the brush on the pen to gunk up worse than a water soluble formula which will make later application difficult. (although 3.5ml won't last too long...)

Smashbox's Camera Ready BB Cream Eyes sports a nice long lasting formula & matte finish which will (ironically), best suit those with normal-oily skin if no moisture source is added before or after use.

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream Eyes is a decent formula if you're looking for an eye brightener or primer and it works well under most foundations or concealers because of the oil-absorbing formula.

Unless you plan to use another source of hydration or you have oily skin, you may find that Smashbox BB Eyes is actually just as, (if not better) suited for covering Blemishes than your under-eye area!

It's worth playing around with in a store near you to see if Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream eyes is what you're looking for. If you generally like matte concealers like Maybelline Fit Me Concealer you may find that Smashbox BB Eyes is a suitable Cruelty Free option!
