Stars: ★★★★★
Smell
I don't think there is that much scent in the first place to comment on. I do not smell it at all unless I deliberately sniff the gel. Not like it is anything bad or what~
Stars: ★★★★★
Consistency
It feels light on the skin, absorbs easily and does not leave a sticky feeling.
Stars: ★★★★★
Moisturising
The mosturising effect is nothing extraordinary. Sometimes I find it not sufficient, especially when I am using a more drying concealer around my eye area. It does not cause milia seeds around my eye area so I am all good.
Stars: ★★★★☆
Depuffing
It does what it promises to do - depuff the eye area - effectively. This is what I like to use when my eyes are swollen. It works well for both undereye and around the eyes. My swollen eye bags looked better after I started incorporating the face shop raspberry eye gel in my regime. It also help deswell my upper eyelids. Yea my upper lids (double eyelid area) will be puffy if I did not get enough sleep. It emphasises my double eyelids but I looked like I just cried or something.

Dark circles
Sadly I did not see much improvement in my dark circles. Still as bad as normal.
Stars: ★☆☆☆☆
The verdict:
I am happy it did what it is supposed to. It is a instant perk me up when I didn't get enough rest. I've been having less than 5h of sleep amost daily this two months and this has really helped me look.. Ok. It is a pity it doesn't improve my eye circles significantly. If you are looking for something to deswell your eyes, do check this out. There is a reason why raspberry roots series sold a million pieces!
Pros:
- Deswell eyes/did what it promised
- Easily absorbed
- Non-sticky
- Good packaging
Cons:
- did not improve my dark circles
- Not as moisturising as I like it to be
Rating: 9/10Repurchase: Probably not as swollen eyes are not my main concern most of the time.
