BEAUTY: REN Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel

As I've been trying to get into a proper skincare routine, I invested in the REN Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel in the hope that I would actually get into using eye creams and for once it's stuck. Maybe it was because the product is £20 (though there is 20% off at Feel Unique at the moment) and it's quite a lot of money to splash out on such a tiny product in my opinion.

I've been using the product pretty much every day and night for the past month. It hydrates the under  eye area and the gel helps to cool this area which is brilliant first thing in the morning to help  make you feel more awake. I've found the gel texture also helps to reduce puffiness under the area, so if I've been up late at night or just haven't had a good night sleep it helps reduce the bags that appear. The product also helps with dark circles. I have notice if I use it constantly that my dark circles do appear to be clearer and my under eye area does seem brighter but I do suffer badly with dark circles and nothing seems to get rid of it properly (any recommendations would be appreciated). Thought it's only 15ml of product, you only need a small amount so the product will last you ages.

I've been loving using this product lately, I can get a bit lazy when it comes to my skincare especially at night but I've been applying the tiniest amount under my eyes most nights and I have been enjoying the step in my skincare. It's quick and easy and I have noticed a difference in my skin. I no longer have that cakey look under my eyes when I've used this in the morning and then applied makeup which is always a bonus. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a new eye gel. I really like the REN as a brand and haven't been disappointed with any of the products that I've tried.

BEAUTY: Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream

I've been trying to get into the swing of having a proper skincare routine recently and I noticed that a staple that was missing from my routine was an eye cream. I'd always gone for eye creams that tried to tackle dark circles and was never really impressed with them so I would just forget to use them. So, I was on the look out for an eye cream when I spotted Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream.

I wasn't really expecting much out of the eye cream as I had never been impressed with them before, however, I think I had been expecting miracles with the other eye creams that I had tried. However, as this was just focusing on moisturising the area I've found that it really has helped. For a start under my eyes it isn't as dry as it had previously been and doesn't feel as tight. Plus my concealer looks better now and less cakey.

The packaging is really good too as there is only a small nib where the product is released which means only a small amount of product is given out meaning that you don't use too much or waste any. It's quite creamy and soft and applies really easily, sinking into the skin quickly. If you're after an eye cream that simply gets the job done, then I would definitely recommend this product. It's simple and keeps your under eyes moisturised and feeling soft.

What is your favourite eye cream?
