Olay Eyes Brightening Eye Cream Review

Welcome Back Cuties!

I am so excited to share one of my newest (& most favorite) beauty products right now!

First off though…I have to let ya’ll in on a little secret….. When I sleep….I sleep directly on my face and when I wake up in the morning, I look like I got in a fight with myself overnight. Like I get really bad dark circles and it’s not pretty – lol!

While I always put my eye cream on before bed and do my best to fall asleep on my back, when I wake up in the morning, I am on my face. It’s just how I sleep, I guess?? All I know is that I’ve searched for products high and low to help me combat my dark circles and have had zero luck finding a Brightening Eye Cream that actually works, until now.

When I went to Cincinnati in September, to visit Olay, had the opportunity to see all of the new products they were launching this fall and when they brought out this Brightening Eye Cream, I could have screamed I was so excited.

I was like “Yes!! Finally, my prayers have been answered”!!

So What is the Olay Eyes Brightening Eye Cream and Why Does it Work?

The truth is, your eyes give all of your secrets away. Whether you sleep on your face like I do, you’re stressed at work or you had a few too many glasses of wine last night, your eyes say it all. This is because the skin around your eyes is so much thinner and more delicate than the rest of the skin on your face.

The amazing thing about the Olay Eyes Brightening Eye Cream though and what separates it from the others is that not only is it hydrating for your eyes, which is the first step in combating dark circles, but it also has vitamins and a light-reflecting complex in it which helps to visibly reduce dark circles, wrinkles and smooth fine lines. You can even see it’s brightening complex just from the color and texture of the cream alone when you open the jar.

I’m telling you, this stuff works instantly! The moment I put it on, it immediately brightens my eyes!

I put it on first thing in the morning after rinsing off my face with water and applying my daily SPF moisturizer (which is actually the Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 with SPF 15). I gently pat and blend the Brightening Eye Cream along the bottom of my eyes with my middle finger. Then I let it sit for about two minutes before applying my makeup! I’ve even lightly put it over my makeup on days that my eyes look extra tired and need double the hydration! It works like a natural hydrating highlighter, without the shimmer!
