Dud of the Month: Alba Green Tea Eye Gel

A Happy New Year - AND - New Decade to Each and Everyone of you.

At the House of The Pink Mixer, we've made a few resolutions to kick off 2011. (Because what would a New Year be without resolutions?) For starters, we aim to post more often than we did in 2010.

And two, we 'd like to make a clean sweep of all the products piling up around our house, the gels and lotions and potions we have lining almost every drawer and shelf in our - ahem, cramped - bathroom. If it works? It stays. If it doesn't? Sianara.

Of course, we're not ones to be wasteful and we almost always dutifully use up a product before it gets tossed. The true test, of course, is whether or not we'd ever plan to buy it again. So to which category does Alba's Green Tea Eye Gel fall? Sadly, she's landed in the use it but don't re-use it pile. This is a shame, really, because we fell head over heels for Alba's face wash and thought surely the magic would be repeated. Alas, the spark just isn't there. It's not that this eye gel is horrible, but it's just...well...a wee bit bland. We don't really notice it doing much when applied and at almost $20 a pop? Bland just doesn't cut it.

Average Price: $20/1 oz.
