Faking it when waking it with puffy eyes ♡

    Stayed up too late last night studying or out late with friends? Did you cry yourself to sleep over being too stressed? Or did you find yourself crying over a sad movie? If so, chances are you woke up with puffy eyes. You can’t pull the covers up over your head, because you have too much to do. Check the clock, how much time do you have? If you have plenty of time, the tried and true remedies such as tea bags, ice, and cucumber slices work great. 

    If you are like most college girls, you wake up just in time to go to class. You need a quick fix. There are a lot of products on the market today that promise to reduce eye puffiness. I have tried numerous ones just to find the right product that works for me. My three favorite products are, Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller, Nuance by Salma Hayek Green Tea Cooling Eye Gel, and  First Aid’s Beauty Detox Eye Roller. 

GARNIER NUTRITIONISTE SKIN RENEW ANTI-PUFF EYE ROLLER

This product is available at most pharmacies and discount stores. The price of this product is $12.99 at CVS Pharmacy. I really like this eye roller because it is a very light formula for your eyes. It does not leave a sticky residue. The most effective ingredient in this product is caffeine. Results are seen very quickly when using this product. 

SALMA HAYEK NUANCE GREEN TEA COOLING EYE GEL

This product is by Salma Hayek’s beauty line and is sold exclusively at CVS Pharmacy. The price of this product is $16.99. I find this product to be more heavy on my eyes, and does not dry as quickly as the Garnier brand. The formula is thicker and somewhat sticky. The formula has natural green tea extracts in it to help cool the area around the eye and to especially reduce puffiness. 

FIRST AID DETOX EYE ROLLER

This product is the most expensive out of all three products. The results are the best, but does not exceed the results of the Garnier to warrant spending twice as much on this product. This product is sold at Sephora, and you can order it off of their website firstaidbeauty.com. This product is sold at $24.00. The Detox Eye Roller gets its name because the formula has hyaluronate and advanced peptides in it. Those peptides restore collagen that is lost in the area around your eyes that cause severe puffiness and dark circles. 

Everyone loves to look fresh and rejuvenated; even when you have to fake it. Fortunately there are many products in the market that help us with faking it.
