I used to roll my eyes at the idea of eye essences and serums, because I thought they were rather redundant when I was already applying eye creams. And then I got older and my eye area became even drier than it was before and all of a sudden, eye essences and serums didn't seem so silly. Ha!

Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-hour Hydro-filler Concentrate
I had 2 full size 15mL/0.5fl. oz. pump bottles of Clinique Moisture Surge Eye 96-hour Hydro-filler Concentrate, one from a Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator Set and the other from a Moisture Surge Skin Quenching Kit, with a third 5mL/0.17fl. oz. travel size tube from a Nordstrom Clinique GWP. I ended up using only the travel mini and gave the other 2 full sizes away to my friends M. and T.

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Cream
Made it through 3/4 of this 15mL/0.5oz. jar of Jurlique Herbal Recovery Signature Eye Cream. The jar was from a Jurlique Herbal Recovery Set I bought last year, and with that purchase I also got a gift that includes another 5mL/0.17oz. tube of the same eye cream.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask
Here's a product that pleasantly surprised me: this 4mL/0.1fl. oz. deluxe sample tube of Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask. It was from the Elemis x Hayley Menzies GWP, and I didn't think much of it at all at first.

Embryolisse Artist Secret Radiant Eye
This 4.5g/0.15oz. twist up tube of Embryolisse Artist Secret Radiant Eye also fell victim to my youngest, after which I finally learned that my nightstand was not a safe place to leave skincare, especially when said skincare is housed in cute little chubby tubes.
