Anyone try Benefit's new eye primer- Benefit Air Patrol BB Cream Eyelid Primer?

I like that it has SPF but ugh, chemical. I was wondering if anyone has tried it and if it has a pinkish tinge, yellowish tinge or neutral tinge? Also, if it irritates eyes at all (chemical sunscreens usually irritate my eyes). TIA!

Good news: It looks like the sunscreen is mineral based, so it should stick on your eyelids, and not drip in and sting (most chemical based sunscreens are notorious for getting into eyes and elsewhere and stinging in general when one 'glows' aka, sweats!) Titanium dioxide is high in the ingredient list. 

 

Hopefully someone here can give a 'hands on review' since I just checked out the ingredient list...

Thanks but as I stated in my OP it does contain chemcial sunscreen as well. Hence my concern about eye irritation:
