grace & stella Under Eye Brightener Balm Stick - Travel Essentials - Caffeine Eye Cream for Dark Circles, Puffiness, Wrinkles - Vegan Moisturizer Stick with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid (0.13oz/3.5g)

I really like this under-eye illuminating balm because it hydrates well and gives a natural glow without looking greasy or heavy. It instantly makes the area look more fresh and awake. It’s easy to apply and works great on its own or under makeup for a more radiant finish. It doesn’t irritate and feels comfortable throughout the day. A great option if you want something subtle but effective.

While doing my thing in front of my display at an elementary school career fair, a smug 5th grade girl stomped over to me. In the process of helping handcuff another child (correctional nurse with toy handcuffs as tactile tools from the touch and play part of my display), she demanded, “If you work two jobs and don’t get much sleep, why don’t you have dark bags under your eyes?” Without stopping what I was doing (or thinking) my response jumped out out my mouth and metaphorically slapped the precocious creature with, “Because I’m not your mom,” as I continued my current task indifferent to her audible gasp and the other children’s giggles - but seriously, who out here isn’t teaching their kids if you can’t run with the big dogs, don’t off the porch??? Anyways, this product is a sanity saver, and obviously works (according to an elementary school bully causing a scene over my lack of eye dark bags/circles) for this night shift and flip shift working nurse with sensitive skin. I love it. It feels great on my skin and I use it throughout my shifts to regain the shredded remains of my humanity, and I use it at home just because I like it. 🖤. Ngl, I don’t wear make up, so idk how it would perform under foundation or concealer, bc it is a touch greasy, but that might just be me putting too much on bc it feels lovely.

Very hydrating and goes on smooth. Reduced fine lines in my under eye area. Didn't do much for my dark circles or I would have given it 5 stars.

I don’t see it making a difference in the under eye area, but it’s a good moisturizer and smells nice. The amount in the tube is disappointing and misleading. For the price, it’s ok compared to the more expensive similar products.

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’ll Work 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 …

(I'm Adriana Millhouse) I really love this product! Now my eyes look softer and more relaxed, and they're noticeably brighter! Consistent use will give you results! Try it and see! Use it right before makeup and in the morning. It has a very practical applicator, and best of all, the price is incredible!

I had high hopes for this product after trying a few others from this brand. This one was very disappointing... it's very moisturizing and easy to apply, but does absolutely nothing but irritate my skin and eyes. After 2 weeks, I've had to discontinue using it. I was applying it at bedtime because it is very oily and did not absorb into my skin quickly. There has been no noticeable difference in my dark circles.

It feels good. It says it's an eye brightener for dark circles which I don't actually have. Supposed to reduce swelling, but not really sure if it has done that. My issue are bags which I don't think this product works for. At any rate, I did want to try it; It does feel nice and easy to apply, no tugging. So I like it, and probably/maybe does what it claims, I can't verify that. I think overall it's a nice product and it can be nice under concealer (for smoothness). It has nice ingredients: hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides, vit e.

Was skeptical , but there was a noticeable brighter annd smoother under eye. The scent is light and no film or sticky after effect!! Made my husband try it too!!

Muy bueno , fácil de usar y no permite que se te marque las arrugas debajo de los ojos

Le produit est très agréable à appliquer; glisse facilement sur la peau. Cependant, le miracle n’est pas si évident! Rafraîchissant, lumineux, mais pas miraculeux…

I like this stick to add moisture under my eyes it’s really easy to use

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 UNSCENTED Truly 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.
