I use Relastin Eye Silk. I love the product. It goes on nice and smooth, you can use it under makeup and your makeup won't slide down your face, and -- dare I say it?-- my undereye bags are much less noticeable. I know there are people who hate the stuff (the reviews on MUA are almost all bad) but it works for me so I'm willing to fork over the $69 + shipping and handling and order it on-line. I try very hard to use products that I can walk into a store and buy but I'm willing to put this on my credit card and wait a week for it to show up. but....

What's with the crappy dispenser? I'm sure a great deal of R&D went into designing the God-awful pump dispenser it comes in. Can't they just put it in a tube? My father tells me that, whatever type of dispenser it is, the consumer has to be able to get the labeled amount out of it using the officially sactioned method. If it's a pump and it says 1 oz, you have to be able to pump 1 oz out. If it's a tube and it says 3.5 oz, you have to be able to squeeze 3.5 oz out without giving yourself a hernia. This usually means putting more than the stated amount in the container and maybe this frosts their (the fine people at Relastin) bananas and they've come up with a way to guarantee that I can't can't get more than 0.5 oz out. I know I'm not the only one cutting open tubes and removing the screw-on pump thingey to scrape out that last little bit of product but is this really necessary? I know people who will only buy Smashbox primer in the small travel-size tubes because they hate the pump dispenser so much. Why? Why do they do this to us? Why do they hate us?

So now I have to order more Relastin and wait a week for it to show up because I think, but am not actually sure, that I'm out. In the mean time, I'll pump the dispenser about 200 times because maybe I'm not out.... mayber there's an air bubble in there between me and another month's worth of product. Why can't they just put this stuff in a tube?

End rant.
