They changed the packaging of this product. It's now in a beautiful sleek eggplant shade tube. It has a sponge tip and a push button on the bottom to release product. But, the concept and name...

This is a nice concept, but the product itself is too thick and doesn't blend well. The Becca version in a pot is so much better.

Perfect. No porpylene glycol, which makes my eyes run. Great coverage, melts into the skin. A lifesaver for these 59-year-old eyes. And the powder, too! YaY!

PROS: The first time I've found shimmer/illuminating and subtle in the same product. I LOVE this for highlighter along the bridge of my nose, top of cheekbones, etc. Has two colors to choose...

Laura Mercier Secret Brightener is a luminizer billed to "brighten dark circles, reduce shadows and minimize discolorations." It's packaged in a nicely hefty click-pen, with a synthetic brush tip....

This product is too expensive for what it is. The clicker doesn't bother me as much as the amount of product you receive with this purchase. I only used this item under my eyes and browbone when I...

Does absolutely NOTHING. Seriously. Can't figure out what they're thinking with this. Basically, it's this: A very expensive pen with some shimmer liquid in it. Do not bother.

I just got this yesterday, so I've only used it twice. But I can already tell...it's way too sparkly and too pink. I got #1. It looks more like a pink cream eye shadow. I just wanted to detract...

Ehh...this product is alright...but for the price I would just buy the secret brightening POWDER which is the most amazing creation ever for hiding under eye circles.

I bought this product because I have very dark circles under my eyes, and I was hoping to find something to camoflage them that wouldn't sink into the wrinkles under my eyes. I didn't like this at...

I like this concealer. I wear it under my foundation. First, I put some under-eye cream. Then, I put this on, pat some foundation on top (emphasis on 'pat'), and seal it with a very light...

I really like the Secret Brightener. It's one of my favorite products. I have a lot of trouble with dark under-eye circles and when the makeup artist at Saks used this on me I could definitely tell...

I must have been feeling spendthrift when I purchased this. Maybe I got sucked in by the notion of secrecy and its implied exclusivity. With hindsight and a few uses, it seems like far too much to...

This product is great! I really have no significant problems with under-eye darkness, but I use it every day in the area and it just brightens my whole look up. It's also super easy to use, and...

I was really disappointed. I bought this and the Brightening Powder and both were rather unremarkable. A lot of hype with no results for me. I've been on a mission lately to find a wonderful eye...
