The moment I saw this cute little eye sticks, I just knew I cannot say no to them. And here they are :)
Vanilla Moist Eye's Cream
Product description: Eye cream stick with a moisturising, brightening and anti-wrinkle formula to promote youthful skin around the eyes. Contains anti-wrinkle adenosine, moisturising hyaluronic acid and nourishing pumpkin enzyme.
The stick form of the cream is super convenient! It glides easily and smoothly on the skin, doesn't pull the delicate eye area. The stick looks white, however cream on the skin is clear, but shiny until absorbs. I apply it quite generously, so it does take a moment to absorb, but I don't mind as I always do my make up some time after skincare. If you like to do your make up straight after skincare, be careful with amount used or prepare to wait :P Overall this cream is quite lightweight and moisturises well enough for everyday use, but sometimes when my eye area is extremely dried out (I have allergy that manifests itself by irritation of skin around the eyes) I have to come back to my Skin Food Salmon Eye Cream. Product has nice smell, however it smells more like citrus than sweet vanilla. As for the performance - my skin area is in good condition and I think it is slightly brighter, but I'm not sure. As for the wrinkle care I cannot say, because the only wrinkles I have in eye are there since always and I think they are just part of my feature.
As for efficiency - I am using it form almost 3 months and getting to the end.
Price: £5-6 on e-Bay.
Pros:
+ handy form of stick
+ glides smoothly on the skin
+ moisturising
+ nice smell
+ cheap
+ super cute packaging
Cons:
- may be not moisturising enough for very dry skin
- slightly shiny after application
What's interesting, in product called "vanilla moist" there is no vanilla ingredient - but they are citrus oils, what would explain citrus smell.

Mint Cooling Eye's Cream
Product description: Cool the eye area. Components of pumpkin enzymes and haloxyl* gives a refreshment and nutrition to your eyes. Prevents skin ageing protecting eye area with SPF30 PA ++.
*Haloxyl - substance containing few ingredients, used in eye creams to reduce dark circles and moisturise.
This stick is blue coloured and has nice fresh scent, but I can't smell mint in it. It has slightly tougher structure and doesn't glide on skin as smoothly as the Vanilla one, but thanks to that is leaves skin dry and matte, so you can put you make up on immediately after use. I noticed that for some reason it doesn't go with primers - primer rolls up on top of it. However just a cream BB or Salmon Dark Circle Concealer are fine. Maybe it's because it contains silicone and adding additional silicone from primer causes it to roll up. It gives an eye area some refreshment, but personally I didn't find it cooling. Immediately after use skin around the eyes is whiter - it's result of containing Titanium Dioxide, physical SPF filter. It does moisturise, but not as much as his Vanilla brother - for dryer skin it definitely won't be enough. It's more efficient to Vanilla one - when Vanilla is almost finished, I still got 1/3 of this one.
Price: £5-6 on e-Bay.
Pros:
+ handy, travel friendly packaging
+ refreshes eye area
+ quite dry - we don't have to wait for it to absorb
+ contains SPF
+ cheap
+ cute packaging
Cons:
- doesn't moisturise very well
- doesn't glide so smooth on the skin
- doesn't go with primer - primer rolls up on top of it.
Similarly like in Vanilla version name has nothing to do with the ingredients - there is noting minty there.

Green ingredients are Haloxyl.
For me both products worked well when Vanilla was used at PM and SPF containing Mint on AM.
