Boots Cucumber Eye Gel

I hate that feeling when I wake up feeling un-refreshed ~ it's almost like you haven't had any sleep at all! I end up with tired, sore eyes (this is also true if I have had my contact lenses in for a long time the previous day) and I feel as though everyone can see the dark rings around my eyes! This is when I turn to my Natural Collection Cucumber and Eye Bright Cooling Eye Gel (henceforth to be referred to merely as Cucumber Eye Gel ~ or maybe even just "gel") ~~~What is it?

I will start by saying, if you are an oddball like me, who is allergic to their own tears and has a tendency to puff up like a balloon after a crying session, you need this stuff! We all have our bad days, and after being stressed out last week I ended up falling asleep exhausted having had a bit of a blub. Not a problem you'd think, everyone sobs from time to time lol. Well, MY problem is, if I fall asleep without washing my face, my eyes seem to react like I've been bombed with tear gas. I seriously look like my eyes have swollen to the point where they are all puffy and painful. This is where Boots essentials cucumber eye gel comes into it's own. ...  Read the complete review
