Cooling eye gel praised for making eyes ‘brighter and less puffy' in 30 seconds
Everything from hayfever to late nights spent dancing at festivals can leave you with puffy, tired eyes during summer, but this eye gel is said to improve them in 30 seconds
Summer is all about making the most of the light evenings and sunny weather, which can often mean we're out late, up early, and spending plenty of time outdoors where hayfever and pollen are rife. All that can lead to puffy, tired and itchy eyes, not to mention a dark circle or two.
However the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel promises to be an almost instant solution to all of that, with some shoppers saying it worked in under a minute. One glowing review of the eye gel said: 'I was skeptical but I have been a customer for 5 years with Tata Harper so I trust her products. Wow! It works, I woke up with puffy eyes and I used this nice cooling eye gel and in 30 seconds I saw my eyes brighter, less puffy and glowing the ingredients in this tube does its magic. Solution is consistent and I use it morning and night. I'm happy with this Eye gel.'
The Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel (£72) is packed full of skin-loving ingredients which help to restore the moisture and hydration to your delicate under-eye area, leaving it hydrated, plump and glowing. It contains kakadu plum and vitamin C which help to brighten up the area, as well as avocado which helps reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles.
You'll also find a green coffee bean complex, which acts as a source of caffeine to boost the eye gel's effect and prevent tired looking eyes. It has a lightweight gel to cream formula which is cooling and soothing under your eyes, something which is only improved by the cooling metal applicator tip, which helps to de-puff your under-eye area quickly.
Considering some reviewers saw results in 30 seconds, it's safe to say this is a beauty bag staple to take with you whether you're travelling, heading off to a festival, or just know you've got a late night in the sunshine planned. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal is £15 for a 30ml tube.
It promises to visibly smooth and firm the skin around your eyes with a gentle formula, and is a great way for beginners to introduce retinal into their beauty routine. Alternatively the De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel from Byoma is £13 for 20ml and helps to cool and de-puff your skin whilst also reducing dark circles.
However it's the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel that Space NK shoppers have been praising, giving it a 4.6 out of 5 star rating. One wrote: 'This is an excellent product! I've noticed a significant reduction in puffiness around my eyes, and they definitely look brighter. I highly recommend it!'
One did comment: 'Love this product! My only critique is that the formula is a bit too thin for the applicator – when you squeeze it too much comes out at once, which leads to wasting product. A slightly thicker consistency or a more controlled dispenser could make a big difference.'
Others however raved about it, saying: 'Perfect for new moms with dark circles from lack of sleep! Helps put a little pep back in your eyes.'

‘I found the perfect strawberries and cream perfume to wear for Wimbledon'
You can't have Wimbledon without strawberries and cream, and Juliette Has a Gun's Miami Shake perfume is the perfect scent to see you through summer's tennis season When it comes to Wimbledon, strawberries and cream are as synonymous with the event as all-white outfits and tennis rackets, which is why I was thrilled when I found the perfect fragrance to pair with a courtside look. Juliette Has a Gun's Miami Shake perfume is a relatively new launch from the cult favourite brand, and its combination of strawberries, cream and vanilla make it an absolute essential for Wimbledon season. As someone who's tried plenty of different perfumes over the years, I've become quite the die hard fan of Juliette Has a Gun's fragrances because of how long lasting and powerful they are. So I was even happier when I got my hands on the Miami Shake perfume, which had the perfect combination of sweet and fruity notes and was an instant go-to for summer. One spritz of Miami Shake and I knew it was going to be the perfect pairing for Wimbledon events, with a light, sweet scent that lasted without being too sugary or overpowering. It has a musky finish and a creamy element to it which stopped it being too cloying and kept it grown up and sophisticated, whilst still being playful and light. The exact notes are wild strawberry, whipped cream, vanilla and musk, which keep it simple and not too complex, making it an easy to wear scent that you could always layer with other perfumes if you wanted. You can pick it up in 7.5ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles, and currently Sephora's major beauty sale has slashed 15% off the price of each size. The 100ml bottle is usually priced at £135 but is now available for £114.75, whilst the 50ml bottle is down from £100 to £85. If you want to try before you commit to a full size bottle, the 7.5ml travel size is now £21.25, down from £25. You can also pick up the fragrance at Space NK. Also at Space NK you can pick up Phlur's Strawberry Letter perfume at £99 for a 50ml bottle, which is ideal for those who prefer a more fruity, less sweet scent. It opens with top notes of cassis leaves, strawberry gariguette and plum nectar. Heart notes of wild lily, red poppy and apple blossom add a touch of freshness, while tonka beans and amber make the base sensual and bold. For a more affordable option, Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa '40 Perfume Mist is £24 for 90ml or £38 for a huge 240ml bottle. It combines fruity notes with vanilla and musk for a handbag-friendly scent that's easy to top up on the go. However the Miami Shake scent has been getting plenty of rave reviews from shoppers, with one saying: 'Mother's Day I tried every perfume in the store literally and I absolutely fell in love with this one and I bought it for all of the mothers in my life and then I had to come back and get one for myself.' Another wrote: 'Amazing scent! Everyone around is asking what I'm wearing. Love it a lot!' However the scent seems to be polarising opinions from some shoppers, with one writing: 'I saw an add on Facebook for this and thought 'heck yeah, I love strawberry and vanilla, this will be an amazing scent!!' Purchased it online, and just received it today. I can't describe the scent, but it's not good. The longevity of the scent is why I have it two stars.' Others couldn't get enough of it, however, saying: 'I fell in love…. I love it . It's sweet but not too much it's feminine, it's powerful.'
