Advantages: A little goes a long way, lovely colours, can be built up in layers for a more dramatic look

Disadvantages: Cooling effect a bit of a gimmick

These are cute little squeezy tubes of cream that claim to cool and soothe your eyes as you apply them.

I chose a lovely sheer sparkly colour called 'Cold as ice' and it provides just enough coverage without looking havey, just enough sheen without looking odd and vaseline-like.

You only need a teeny tiny dab of the stuff, so even though they are small tubes, it will last for absolutely ages.

The cream did feel nice and cold when I applied it, but this feeling wore off very quickly - I think this is more about selling a gimmick than any lasting effects of soothing the eye area. Still, it did feel nice and tingly cold and it reminds you of playing with makeup products when you were little :-)

The colour did wear off as the day went on, but I was still left with shimmery eyelids. I will definitely be going back to get some of the other colours in the range - they are just the thing for light, subtle summery makeup.
