Sick of hearing 'You look tired' every time you forgo wearing makeup?

Same. 

And that's because... we are.

We are exhausted, worn-out, burnt-out, sleep-deprived versions of our former selves.

Whether it's because the last time we got a good sleep was before having kids or you've been up since the crack of dawn with a toddler who refuses to sleep - there's just no hiding those eye bags. 

But fear not, fatigued friends — we may have just stumbled upon the holy grail of eye creams. 

Now, before you dismiss this as just a fancy moisturiser in a smaller tube, know that we put the cream to the test using three different women from the team, to see if the hype was true.

$52 cult eye cream promises to reduce your eye bags

Tired mums and skincare enthusiasts alike have been praising the recently launched Lust Minerals Rejuvenation Eye Cream for its ability to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. 

The founder is a mum-of-two herself, so she definitely knows the struggle and wanted to make a solution that actually works. 

Retailing for $52, this lightweight, nourishing eye cream (you can buy it here) has already built up a cult following, despite launching just two months ago. To give you an idea of just how popular it is, it had a whopping 40,000-person waitlist and on launch day, one tube was sold every two minutes.

Talk about a hot commodity!

According to the website, the cream is "specifically designed to hydrate your skin, diminish the appearance of puffiness and dark circles and shield against environmental aggressors." Harnessing the power of vegan stem cells, the formula also contains Strawberry Stem Cell Culture for brightening.

Another unique feature is the cooling tip applicator, designed to enhance results and the experience.

"The sizing is very generous, the ingredients are clean - this is a must for my skincare"

Take a look at what some of the reviews are saying:

"This is the first time I've used an eye cream and I have been using it religiously both morning and night. It's super lightweight, and the unique cooling tip helps to make my undereyes feel refreshed and awake. I highly recommend," Sally W wrote on the website, alongside a five-star review.

Then another woman, Alison, shared, "I love the gorgeous (and always cold!!) metal dispenser that is curved to get maximum contact across my eyelids and under eye area. Great design and a lovely product. 💕"

And this reviewer, Elada, claimed, "This cream is so worth the wait. Cooling application and super fast absorption with no sensitivity to my dry eyes.

"Love how I sense the product soothing my delicate under-eye area. The sizing is very generous, the ingredients are clean and this is a must for my skincare. Can't wait to see more great results as I'm only in my first week. Highly recommend this eye cream."

Pretty sure these women aren't the only converts... check out our team's review below, including mine!

"I've noticed less puffiness throughout the day"

Charlotte, a 35-year-old mum-of-two, says that using the cream has been a game-changer. 

"I've tried a lot of eye creams on these tired eyes in my time, but I've never used one that came with a lovely, cooling applicator like this. Applying this eye cream has instantly become my favourite part of my skincare routine; I feel instantly refreshed.

"It reminds me of when I used to pop teaspoons in the freezer to hold on my hungover eye bags back in my 20s (a different life). After using the Lust Minerals Rejuvenation Eye Cream for three weeks, I've noticed less puffiness throughout the day but will keep using and I hope to see more results!"

"My hubby got caught red-handed trying it"

Jordana, 38-year-old mum-of-three has also been loving it.

"In the few weeks I've used (twice daily), I've started to see my dark circles lifting. And I'm not getting any more sleep - so it's the cream. It has sparked the interest of my hubby as well, who got caught red handed trying it - and approves.

"A word of warning though - be very gentle when squeezing out the cream as a lot comes out. I've had a few accidents where the cream has ended up in the sink.

"Will be switching out my super-spendy eye cream for this one!"

"I feel I look more alive"

And as for me, well, I'm converted as well! I'm 28 and might not have kids, but I still have hefty eye bags anyway. Lucky me!

I've always been sceptical about eye creams and their ability to actually give you results, but I can actually feel the difference with this one.

From the cooling sensation of the metal applicator, which instantly rejuvenates the area, to the lasting, plump results throughout the day - I'm sold. 

It also has such a rich and decadent feel when applied and isn't greasy or heavy at all.  

I've been using it twice daily for three weeks now and I've definitely noticed a subtle difference to my eye bags, as well as those fine lines around the corners of my eyes as well. 

Overall, I feel as though I look more 'alive' (something I very much need since quitting coffee) and I'm more confident going makeup-free too.
