Cooling eye gel praised for making eyes ‘brighter and less puffy' 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.'

Best value for money If you're chasing the biggest bang for your buck, Space NK comes out on top for sheer savings at £260 for a £1,150 haul is hard to beat. Liberty offers the highest overall value at £1,200+, but it's also the most expensive. For budget-conscious shoppers, ELF's £150 calendar crams in £1,100 worth of products, making it the best mid-price steal. And if you're after something affordable but still luxe, Anthropologie's £98 calendar gives you over three times your money in products. These aren't the only calendars to hit the market this year so if you're still after a more affordable option don't worry. Boots and a few other high street favourites are still keeping their Christmas cards close to their chest, but if last year's sell-out calendars are anything to go by, their launches will cause a frenzy. For now, though, the early releases are already making December mornings look a whole lot more glamorous.

Space NK's new summer edit worth £158 will get you a Tatcha brightening serum for £8
Space NK's new summer beauty edit is here, and it's packed with big-name brands like Tatcha, Sunday Riley and Westman Atelier, all for £60 If you've been looking to give your current beauty routine a little warm weather update, Space NK's latest The Summer Glow Edit might be the perfect purchase. With cult favourites and travel-ready must-haves, this curated collection is worth £158, but is up for grabs for £60. And with eight different products inside, that means you're getting each item for just over £8. From glow-giving moisturisers to luxe body oils and handbag-friendly makeup, every piece has been handpicked to keep your skin radiant, hydrated and holiday-ready this summer. Whether you're jetting off on a sunny getaway, or keeping it local and appreciating the current heatwave, this luxury edit has everything you need. So what's exactly in the edit? Everything is kept inside a Space NK Peach Towelling Wash Bag, which is a soft yet structured travel bag that can hold all your beauty essentials organised and together. Inside is also one of Space NK's new Caribbean Shores Shimmer Body Oil in Golden. This shimmering body oil is infused with nourishing avocado oil to boost natural radiance and leave a glossy, luminous finish. It's the perfect addition to your holiday make-up bag and will give you a glowing, sun-kissed look. Another highlight is the Sunday Riley C.E.O. Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream. Formulated with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, this moisturiser hydrates, brightens and leaves skin glowing and perfectly prepped for makeup. And is priced at £60 on its own. Tatcha's The Brightening Serum is also included in the edit. Made with 12-hour time-release vitamin C, this serum brightens dull skin and helps improve hyperpigmentation and uneven tone, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion. Also inside the towelling bag is a Vida Glow 6 Day Sample Pack, Westman Atelier Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick, Innisfree Cherry Blossom Glow Jelly Cream, and Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser. All that for £60 is a fantastic bargain, in our opinion. If you're a perfume lover, you'll be pleased to hear about Next's latest Fragrance Edit Beauty Box. This affordable box features £56 worth of scents and is available for £22. Inside, you'll receive five different perfumes, mists, and candles, in a mix of full-size, mini, and sample sizes. Alternatively, Boots has dropped a limited-edition SPF kit featuring four of Supergoop's bestselling sun protection products (*including two full sizes) for £44 despite being worth £92.25. That brings each product down to just £11, a significant discount when you consider one full-size tube of Unseen Sunscreen usually costs up to £34 alone.

Space NK's Glow Edit Is Its Best One Yet, And It's Perfect For Your Next Holiday
When it comes to nailing summer-ready make-up, the secret lies in your skincare routine. With so many products to choose from, selecting the combination to give you an envious glow can feel like a minefield. If your eyes are glazing over at the thought of your next beauty haul, let us let you in on a cult-followed clever solution: Space NK's beauty edits. These collections have a special place in my heart; as an ex-beauty advisor, I look forward to the launch of any limited-edition kits to discover new beauty favourites and replenish my trusty old faithfuls, and I constantly recommend them to friends and family stuck in a skincare rut. A favourite of beauty aficionados, the expertly curated kits are total crowd pleasers (I loved the everyday make-up kit and the wedding beauty edit, FYI), but the brand's latest release might just take the top spot for me. When I got my hands on The Summer Glow Edit, £65, I felt like a kid on Christmas Day. If it's just-stepped-off-a-plane-from-Bali skin you're craving from some of the most exciting brands in the business, look no further. 1. Shop: Space NK The Summer Glow Edit Pros Great value for money Includes viral, sold-out faves Cons First up, Vida Glow's 6-Day Collagen is a great way to get the glow from within. It allows you to ingest your glow-boosting ingredients by adding them to any beverage. Cleanse with Tata Harper's Regenerating Cleansing to encourage cell turnover, and follow that up with vitamin C-rich products (the MVP for radiance) like Tatcha's new Brightening Serum and Sunday Riley's CEO Afterglow. One product that I hadn't tried previously, but has quickly become a new favourite, is the Innisfree Glow Jelly Cream. I am all for an illuminating moisturiser, and this one ticks all the boxes. I was thrilled to see the viral Space NK shimmer body oil included in this edit, too. As soon as it launched, it immediately became noteworthy, with many beauty fans comparing it to Sol's version, but for a fraction of the price. Finally, just when you think you can't get enough radiance, you'll find a glorious highlight stick from Westman Atelier in shade Nectar, which reviewers agree is the icing on the cake. Worth £158, you can snap up this holiday-ready edit for just £65, but you'd better move fast, as we're predicting it won't be around for too long. Head to Space NK to shop. Space NK Caribbean Shores Shimmer Body Oil in Golden, 100ml Vida Glow 6-Day Sample Pack Sunday Riley CEO Afterglow Brightening Vitamin C Cream, 30ml Westman Atelier Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar, 2.5g Tatcha The Brightening Serum, 10ml Innisfree Cherry Blossom Glow Jelly Cream, 15ml Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser, 50ml Georgia Scott is a beauty commerce writer for Grazia.
