Origins GinZing

Being someone who exhibits rather distinct under eye circles I am constantly on the look out for new tricks and products that could help. After seeing and hearing about Origins 'GinZing' Eye Cream various times throughout the beauty world I thought it was time to give it a go and see if it lived up to its expectations and its title of COMPANY Best Eye Cream 2013.
 It claims to:
  • Be a refreshing eye cream to brighten and depuff'
  • Help reduce the look of dark circles
  • Unsightly bags and puffiness seem less visible
  • Rapidly wakes up, refreshes and restores radiance to tired eyes


For me this eye cream does all that it claims to do! It applies with a silky texture, effortlessly settling on the sensitive skin around the eyes. As soon as it's applied the appearance of my once before dull looking eyes appear much more radiant, healthy and awake. This cream also provides light coverage against dark circles and a much softer feeling. This aids tremendously when using concealer as it applies smoothly without tugging on the skin and helps give a flawless finish. Great for any skin type and all ages.


This blissful eye cream has certainly earned a permanent spot in my skin care routine and I have to admit that I do get a tad excited when it comes to applying it in the mornings.

Has anyone tried it, what do you think?
