Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel Review

The Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel is another eye product I tend to use alot of during summer.



Like most eye products, it comes in a standard 15 ml tube.

It is formulated for all skin types.

Glad to say it didn't sting my eyes, gave me any eye allergies or irritate my eyes (when I am wearing contacts lenses)!


A tube like this will last me all summer and maybe halfway into autumn, depending on how often I use it.

I keep a tube of this in my handbag.

I apply and reapply it during the day as it gives my eyes that little refreshed ompf when needed - you know, the kind when you stare at your office screen for too long or when you've been under the sun baking away.

It makes my eyes feel just that but more moisturized as well.
It also fixes any dry spots I get with my under eye concealer during the day.



What I also love about this product is the nib top.

It allows me to dispense the product onto my finger which I like, instead of dipping my grotty fingers into a jar of eye gel.

The tube is very easy to squeeze but you just have to be careful not to squeeze too much product out, as a little goes a long way for this eye gel!

A dot of this eye gel is about how much I use on each eye

The gel has a light fresh smell, not strong at all.

Texture-wise it is smooth and very easy to spread, just like a gel, but a bit creamier.

It does not leave any stickiness behind.

Personally I prefer to use this over my make up than under, because I find my make up runs/peels a little wee bit if I use this gel under.

Overall, this is a good eye gel for the summer and for people on-the-go.

Repurchase? Yes definitely for every summer!

The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel Review

During winter, I often use a rich moisturizing eye cream or balm for under my dry eyes. But during the summer season, I tend to reach for a lighter eye moisturizer - preferably a gel based one.

This summer I used The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel.




I noticed that I could no longer find this on The Body Shop UK website. Not sure if it is discontinued overseas but it is still sold in The Body Shop stores in New Zealand.

It is a very light eye gel with a slight alcoholic smell to it which dosn't bother me. The smell is almost undetected and you have to breathe in very hard to catch the scent.

Texture-wise it is very easy to spread, and doesn't leave any stickiness behind.




I find it provides just enough moisture for my eyes during the summer season.

I occasionally use it over my make up under my eyes do give a dewy, fresher look. It also fixes the dry patches under the eyes left by my under eye concealer.




It leaves this amazing cooling sensation behind which WILL WAKE YOU UP in the morning!

A little tip here - I keep this eye gel in the fridge (not the freezer!) so it is colder when I apply it to my eye bags. The cooling effect seem to help reduce the puffiness of my eye bags.

Note that I don't think this eye gel is suppose to have any effect on dark eye circles, because I don't see any....

The best thing about this eye gel is that it doesn't sting my eyes, as my eyes are quite sensitive to most of the other eye products I have used in the past.

Repurchase? Yes, but only for the summer season as I will need a heavier richer moisturizer for the winter.
