 | Had a Beauty Advisor Try On Me
rating: 3
I was interviewing to work at a Benefit counter and I dont like to wear alot of makeup. But it was funny because she was trying to sell me and tell me what I needed me being a certified master makeup artist and experience on televison and film, I know how to do makeup. I generally just wear a wash of color on my lid, lip gloss, and mascara, and blush. I dont like to wear foundation or anything on my face, I been blessed with nice skin and just dont like to wear it. As I get older when I wear alot think it makes me look older. But she was admit on me trying a tinted moisturizer if I wear anything that is it, but their tinted moisturizer was too heavy for me. She also tried the light bright and I liked it, I would add to my kit to use as a highlighter to the inner rim of the eye, so I would suggest it. View my web site at http://www.naloinc.com

Great, but there are cheaper alternatives...
rating: 3
I've been dreaming about this product forever, and I finally went to Sephora to give it a whirl. Honestly...I was not terribly impressed. It certainly does the job, but I had really hoped it would have some kind of shimmer to it; however it is more of a matte effect. It is quite soft and as others have said, does not pull on the skin. If you're really wanting to try out the effect without paying the price, try this in Pink 507 Sephora Brand Jumbo Pencil - Eye. For only $5, it does the trick (plus has a bit of shimmer to it) and if you decide it's not the right look for you, you won't terribly regret spending the money.

Eye Bright is right!
rating: 4
After reading the reviews on Amazon & my previous bad luck with "dark circle" creams, I decided to give this a try. I was a bit hesitant at first considering it is a cosmetic pencil and decided to hold off. A couple weeks later, I made my first ever trip to a Sephora store & it was like Heaven. I literally spent hours in there. I told myself if i come across the Benefit Eye Bright product, then I would give it a try. And I did, and i was pleasently surprised at how well this little pencil could work wonders. I have a problem with dryness under my eyes, so I make sure I moisture well with an eye cream (I use Ole Henriksen "Visual Truth Eye Cream") prior to applying the penicl. All you need is a light stroke on each eye corner and then blend with your finger and viola! It so simple and easy to apply, I am glad I decided to give this a try! :D Next I shall try the Benefit High brown!

Worth Every Penny - Hello, Bright Eyes!
rating: 5
Until I tried Eye Bright, I never really bothered with eye makeup. I could never find anything that looked subtle enough. I just wanted something to give my eyes a bit of a pop, that's all.
Eye Bright is really great for those of us who want a no-fuss, quick eye makeup routine. The effect is subtle, yet dramatic... Sounds impossible, right? But the color itself is a very soft, bright pinkish white that probably looks nice on most skin tones. However, the overall brightening effect of the product makes one look amazingly alert even on the earliest of mornings.
Like most Benefit products, this makeup isn't too "makeup"-y. That is, when you wear Eye Bright, you most likely won't receive compliments on your eye makeup, but rather on how well-rested you look.
Highly recommended. This one will stay in my makeup bag for use every morning.

Ruined the first time I sharpened it
rating: 2
I was initially very happy with this pencil. The pink tint is soft and creamy, and doesn't pull at your skin when you apply it. I used it with Bare Minerals foundation and it lasted all day, and did an excellent job of covering the circles under my eyes. It also lasted at least three weeks before I had to sharpen it for the first time. But that is where my satisfaction ended. I bought the Benefit Jumbo Sharpener that is recommended for this pencil, but the minute I tried to sharpen it, the wood splintered off, leaving very hard, pointy-sharp pieces on one side of the pencil, that I would never put near my eye. I absolutely could not remove these splintery pieces of wood, even after trying to chip or carve them off with a knife. So, for a few days, I used a little makeup brush to try to dig the pink stuff out of the pencil but I finally gave up and threw the remains of the pencil away. This also ruined the expensive sharpener, which is now all gummed up with the pink concealer and has little chips of wood wedged under the blade. The bottom line is, this is a very expensive product and I expect it to be made with premiun materials, which clearly is not the case. If you do decide to try it, I recommend sharpening it frequently; it may have worked better for me had I not let it get so dull.
