MONU Eye Cool Gel Review !

Hello my lovelies, Today's post is a little overdue but i do like to really test out a skin care product before i write a review on it. That way i can be sure that a product works for me or does not.
Here is what Monu say about it's eye cool gel:

• This refreshing gel instantly revives and tones tired eyes, reduces puffiness and dark circles.
• Arnica helps to reduce undereye puffiness.
• Vitamin C and Zinc Gluconate aids the correction of sun damage.
• Sodium hyaluronate provides long lasting hydration.
• Ginseng and magnesium gently relax fine muscles to smooth and lift.
• Wheat free
• Paraben Free 

The gel itself comes in a handy pump dispenser tube and a little of this goes a long way. It is indeed very cooling and refreshing. I have had a really bad few weeks of being woken up every night and my youngest son has been poorly. 

Although i have woken up with heavy eyes and dark circles i  am finding that 10 minutes after applying this my eyes feel really revived and refreshed. 

I seem to have less puffiness around my eyes as well and the light texture seems to help my foundation smooth on under my eyes effortlessly. ( i apply this eye gel quite heavily and leave it for 5 minutes to absorb before applying my foundation ) 

If I'm honest i cant judge if the eye gel has helped with lines as i don't really have any around my eyes ( not noticeable one anyway ) but i like to think that prevention is way better than cure and the extra moisture boost this gives my eye area is bound to help prevent dehydration which can cause lines to look more pronounced.

If you don't like anything too heavy ( Like me ) and you suffer with puffiness and possibly lack of sleep then this eye cool gel is one that will tick all the boxes. Priced at £15.25 available from Monu  

For those of you have not heard of Monu before then check out the website.  
The products are a professional brand used in many beauty salons and spas. The ingredients are sourced to contain some of the purest, kindest natural ingredients. Take a look I'm sure you will be impressed.
