Origins GinZing Eye Cream

Many of you are lucky that you don't have to reach for an eye cream aimed towards brightening and de-puffing unless you've had a heavy or sleepless night, but I personally feel it necessary to brighten, de-puff, refresh and pretty much do anything else that is going to make my eye area look and feel more awake day to day and after trying out quite a few different creams recently, this Origins GinZing Eye Cream* has been the one that I reach for most often and actually lives in my make up bag.

It isn't a miracle worker and certainly hasn't banished my dark circles and bags for good (I'm pretty sure they are a permanent feature) but it does work beautifully to make them appear lighter whilst brightening up the area, leaving them feel more refreshed and look less tired.
It has Salmon- like metallic colouring with reflective particles running through it which I'm assuming is what makes the area look brighter. The colouring taps out and blends clear so don't panic that you will have a shimmery reflective coating around your eyes, as it's pretty much invisible.

This eye cream actually has a caffeine ingredient from Coffee Bean, Panax Ginseng and Magnolia Extract and although this isn't going to wake you up like a cup of coffee might, it does help to awaken the area by restoring brightness and radiance.

I apply this with my ring finger under my eye, inwards towards my tear duct being careful not to get too close to the water line and then outwards on the top of my eye lid and down my brow bone, in a tapping motion being careful not to drag any areas.

The eye area is extremely sensitive and I'm always a little weary about what I use, but this has been a pleasure and a great factor is that it is also suitable for all skin types.

This 15ml tub costs £21 which does seem a lot, but minimal product is needed for each application and so I don't see why it shouldn't last its recommended shelf life of six months.

Origins is available online and at Origins counters in House of Fraser, John Lewis and Selfridges.
