We recently moved across the country and have been spending our days working and our evenings trying to unpack and organize. Most nights, I’m tossing and turning thinking about the giant “To Do” list that I need to tackle the next day. The lack of sleep and stress is taking its toll—in addition to feeling like I need eight cups of coffee to get my day moving — I’m also noticing some unsightly dark circles and puffiness around my eyes. Luck would have it though that I received MARÉE’s Marine Collagen Eye Gels just a few days after we moved in!

I’ve been trying out the Marine Collagen Eye Gels and the 24K Gold Collagen Eye Gels, which are the most effective solutions I’ve tried. (Amazon and TikTok users seem to think so too. This product was named “magical” by a 5-star reviewer on Amazon and with more than 9.2k reviews, they are definitely gaining popularity.)
This brand was developed from a passion and love for the ocean and the Marine Collagen Eye Gels and the 24K Gold Collagen Eye Gels were created with a blend of ocean-sourced, natural ingredients such as natural marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, premium pearl extract, and red algae extract. Hyaluronic acid helps boost skin elasticity and deeply hydrates, while collagen improves skin texture, plumps it, and makes fine lines less visible (yes, please). The pearl extract also works on alleviates those fine lines while it evens skin tone, reduces hyperpigmentation, fades dark circles and brightens up the area around the eyes. The red algae extract helps to plump the skin and offers soothing and protective benefits. The 24K Gold Eye Gels have the addition of nano-active gold for illuminating the skin and Vitamin C, for energizing the skin.
The eye gels have many features that I appreciate, including the packaging. Each box contains 12 separate pairs of eye gels that are convenient to pop in your bag and travel with. I think these make great gifts too—we all love self-care, so why not drop a few into a birthday gift bag for a friend or family member?
I spend most of the day on Zoom calls, so it is essential to conceal those dark circles and look alert, which is why I love how fast acting these gels are. Fifteen minutes and I noticed a difference!
I have sensitive skin as well, so the gentle formula is something that I’m always searching for in my skincare products. These gels are formulated to be suitable for all skin types and are gentle on the delicate under-eye area. Additionally, they are free from harsh chemicals and irritants, making them a safe and effective addition to any skincare routine.
They are perfect for use in the morning before makeup and in the evening to get rid of signs of stress and tiredness. I’ve been using them mostly at night and find them really soothing as part of my winding down routine at night. They are easy to use—you simply apply them to dry and clean skin and leave on for 15 minutes and discard. That’s it.
Both the Marine Collagen Eye Gels and the 24K Gold Collagen Eye Gels are available on Amazon.

I’m 56 years old and suffer with dark circles underneath my eyes. Over the years I’ve used a lot of different concealers trying to cover it up and even out my skin-tone. However, the majority of those concealers just made things look worse! I’ve tried …
For the past 2 years I’ve been using various hair care products from milk_shake and they’re fabulous! I’ve got my mother, daughter and granddaughter using them too! milk_shake’s products do the job that they say they’ll do and they smell so good! They don’t smell …
I enjoy doing my own manicures and pedicures at home. Going to a spa or a salon is a waste of money to me when I can do it myself with using the right products at home. Anyone can grown their own healthy & strong nails and take care of them at home with just a little bit of time and patience. Not only do I save money by doing it myself but I save time too! I don’t have to waste an hour or two at a nail salon exposing myself to unnecessary germs!

Last week I posted about my favorite nail polish remover made by Cutex. You can read that post to learn more about the product and why I use it. Today’s post is about my favorite clear top coat made by Sally Hansen. I’ve been using it for years and it’s a must-have in my beauty bag.
The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Clear Top Coat can be used over-the-top of any other nail polish brand that you may be using. I use all kinds of different brands when painting my nails from the expensive “high-end” brands to the inexpensive ones you find in discount stores. If I like the color…I buy it!
When it comes to using a clear top coat I want one that prevents chipping, gives me longer wear and it has to dry fast. Let’s face it, we all lead busy lives these days and no one wants to sit around for an hour waiting for their nails to dry!!! You only need to apply 1 coat and within 30 seconds your nails are dry! Yes…it’s true! Not only that, my nails stay looking shiny and nice for 7-10 days when I use this clear top coat.
Now…I do admit. If I know I’m going to be hard on my nails in the coming week I do apply 2 coats of the clear top coat for added protection. Gardening, yard work, crafting, etc. can be hard on your nails. If I’m going to be going on vacation and traveling…I use 2 coats too. I want my nails looking gorgeous until we return. Just an added little tip to use 2 coats if you know you’re going to need the extra coverage that week.
So there you have it. Shelly’s favorite clear top coat that I use ever week when I paint my nails and that includes my fingers and toes! If you don’t want to sit around waiting for your nails to dry…this is the clear top coat that you need!
