I have recently discovered GinZing by Origins. I have been looking for that certain eye  cream that moisturizes and brightens your eyes so I don’t always have to use concealer for days i want to look extra natural.

Pros:

Brightens instantly!

Buildable, meaning you can brighten under your eye as much as you want just reapply more cream

Cons:

too creamy

Overall, I LOVE it
