Long read I apologize. Good product
I’ve been exercising and eating healthier off and on ALL my life. This comes from a place of love – when I read reviews particularly negative ones I feel sad. The body mind and spirit needs to align in order for changes to happen. Under eyes shows a LOT. If you don’t sleep eat well etc it’ll show under eyes as it’s a thin area. This lady I know used this and almost same facial creams over two months as I, granted were all different, and she said it didn’t work but it’s not true. If you are smoking and drinking daily and using one cream, not eating well, etc no cream is going to perform a miracle and I am sorry this is out of love cause I tried it myself believe me and it won’t work EVER. Exercise in any form, proper health habits eating and care is only way. I didn’t make the rules. Also using one cream and thinking it’llWork over course of month won’t work. I used combination of good molecules wake up eye gel along with this and it worked also changed it up with creams at night, spf in day with moisturizer and retinol in evening AND eat ok; exercise often and also drink all natural juices I use fruits veggies and blendJet approx 3-4 mornings with natural fruits veggies ginger turmeric and I tell you do this for three months and you’ll see difference. My eyes LOOK different black circles lighten puffiness not so bad and etc. Whether it’s this cream gel or anything use items ALONG with proper exercise diet ; movement and eat little healthier and you will see results. That’s why some items on amazon have 5 stars from many and one stars from a few. Unless you’re allergic to an item ; you have to use items in combination with other factors. Hope this helps I’m not a nutritionist , gym person I’m actually “overweight”, and I’m not a doctor but I read a lot and tried things over 20 years plus and what the doctors say about diet and exercise and no alcohol or little and no smoking is really the truth. Trust me I wish it was different! Lol 😊 so my dark circles have lighten a bit and I’m now working on puffiness… even my whole face skin as changed! It’s smoother and lighter again I use various internal and external factors …

Pair with Patches
As a mid-30s individual, I was impressed by this product. Is it on the same level with super high-end eye creams/serums, no, I mean you can’t really compare a $100 item to a $10 item but I do feel like it does a decent job with puffness and dark circles. I’m a mom of a toddler and this does give my tired under eyes a boost! Now, I think this product does MUCH BETTER when paired with the under-eye patches. I originally added it on with the Grace and Stella Energizing Eye Masks and continued to use this after I ran out of the patches. It works better in conjunction with them. Still like it and don’t find it to be too oily under makeup. I also wait about 10 minutes after applying my skincare before applying my makeup to give it time to sink into my skin. I’m 37 and don’t have set-in fine lines around my eyes just yet so I can’t speak to how this responds to deeper facial lines. Overall it’s lightweight, and energizing for my under eyes and I just enjoy how it feels and the easy application!

Meh
Meh, maybe if you weren’t a regular user of moisturizers then you might see a difference. It made no difference at all in my under eye areas since I do use moisturizers day and night. I’ll give it 2 stars for ease of use. The lipstick application tube makes it easy.

Great stick, especially for travel. It feel good to put on, I also use for wrinkles elsewhere on my face. My dark circles did not change but my eye wrinkles look a bit softer. This is my second tube and will buy more.

Purchased the Grace & Stella Look on the Brightside eye brightening stick for just under $10 with free delivery. Had only tried one product from this brand before ordering but had really liked it and was excited to try this.Amazon package envelope was delivered perfectly and when promised. Inside a new pristinely boxed eye brightening stick awaited in the same condition.To make this shorter and hopefully helpful IMO:•Cheap plastic packaging that’s kinda cute but I don’t really care what’s on the outside. On the inside is where it counts.• The actual brightening stick works the same as a traditional twist up lipstick and is a milky white shade with a pretty yet subtle opal ish, reflective sheen.• Feels great applying, dehydrated under eyes soak up the beneficial ingredients almost immediately, leaving a subtle brightening effect that looks natural and healthy.• Once the stick reaches the same temperature as your skin it glides across the skin without any pulling. Applies quickly, easily, evenly and cleanly. No need to wipe off the eye brightener as it melts and blends into the skin like a dream just using very gentle pressure taping with your finger. No mess on the counter, or a plethora of eye brightening products everywhere as this sticks all that’s needed, and no tools to clean aside from washing your hands with soap and water before and after application.• Since this stick is a very small all in one product that’s solid not liquid you can easily throw this in your bag to use when traveling or your purse in case you want to touch up at some point.IMO Cons:• It’s fairly heavily scented!! Why someone felt the need to add fragrance to a product created specifically for use around the eyes baffles me. It smells grandmotherly, chemical and floral all together. The scent can and has caused eye irritation, redness and tears.• I prefer using cold (from the fridge) products around my eyes. After a few regular temperature uses it was put in the fridge overnight. Excitedly went to use the eye brightening stick while getting ready in the morning and OMG it stuck in some spots, skipped others and pulled the thin and delicate skin brutally. It applied godawful when cold which was a massive negative• The price isn’t terrible but considering you can get a lip balm that incorporates the same beneficial ingredients, even more benefits and provides the same results at half the price … why pay more than necessary? Plus with a lip balm you can select if you want it clear or tinted? Apply the tiniest amount of powder highlighter or brightening eye shadow to the top of your finger pad before tamping the product in with that finger. Totally customizable, easy, very inexpensive and you. Wear it clear with nothing added or have fun finding shades you love best.Plus you can choose UNSCENTED!• IMO, honestly it’s the fact that this product is (intentionally) scented that makes it a big NO. Instead I’ve been using a good old drugstore clear lip balm that has the same beneficial ingredients plus more, contains proper spf, costs under $5cdn and love it!FRAGRANCE FREE or UNSCENTEDTruly hope this helps you see what I have found to be the pros and negatives of this eye brightening stick. This way you can make an informed choice as to what’s best for you.
