Nothing makes me take interest in a beauty product more than when it's not available to me. Something is sold out? Hell yes, I'm clicking that "email me when available" button! Doesn't even matter if it serves no relevant purpose for my wants or needs; I'm just jealous of the incredibly lucky, lightning-fast people who had the forethought required to get their hands on it first. But in the case of Ole Henriksen's Banana Bright Eye Crème, I don't want it just because it's already sold out — I want it because it sounds amazing.
This eye cream is the multitasker my dark circles would be dreaming of if dark circles had thoughts of their own. It contains vitamin C, an Ole Henriksen favorite ingredient to brighten skin, while collagen works on firming up the undereye area. Then it goes the extra mile by creating the ideal canvas for the application of concealer — something not nearly enough eye creams do. Is it any wonder people seized on it?
Ironically, Banana Bright Eye Crème doesn't actually contain banana. Instead, it gets its name from — and was inspired by — banana powder, a yellow-toned setting powder that many makeup artists rely on to brighten skin and color-correct the eye area. Like the powder, the cream has a yellow tint that helps it do its illuminating duties.
Lucky for me — and you, really — the Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème is back in stock for $39 at olehenriksen.com.
