The Kimberly Sayer Eye Lift Gel is actually intended as a day &amp; night care product. However, I prefer to use it as an eye mask. Every now and then, I wake up with puffy eyes and an overall dry eye area \u2013 mostly whenever I eat something too salty the evening before. Then I apply the Eye Lift Gel a little bit thicker beneath the eyes and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Then I gently dab the rest into the skin. The skin is wonderfully moisturized afterwards and the look appears fresher and more alert. I know a similar effect from hyaluronic eye pads. The practical thing here is that you also have eye care that you can use in the morning and in the evening. Make sure to ask for a sample with your next Amazingy order.<br><br><\/li><li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzngy.com\/hiro-mineral-foundation-spf\" target=\"_blank\">HIRO Cosmetics &#8211; Mineral Foundation SPF25<\/a><\/strong><br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"417\" class=\"wp-image-37841\" style=\"width: 650px;\" src=\"https:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"HIRO Cosmetics - Mineral Foundation\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-scaled.jpg 2880w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-640x411.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-1280x822.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-1536x986.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-2048x1314.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-720x462.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-800x513.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/HIRO-Cosmetics-Mineral-Foundation-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><br><br>I could write an entire article on HIRO&#8217;s mineral makeup \u2013 and I probably will in the future.
