Puff may have been the Daddy, and in an earlier age, the Magic Dragon, but we all know Puff when our under-eye area looks bloated and full.
Get rid of puffiness with the new Clarins Eye Contour Gel ($81, launch date 5 September), a refreshing eye gel that minimizes dark circles under the eyes with ginkgo biloba extract to encourage circulatiom and chamomile and cornflower to soothe.
Result? You look rested and have brighter eyes.
Here’s something that may surprise you; the very natural combined with the very fake.
‘The wonderful thing about Inika Eye Makeup Remover ($35.99) is that it can be used with the new trend in false lashes" says Miranda Bond, Founder and Creator of Inika Cosmetics. The world’s first certified organic eye makeup remover, it is blended with certified organic ingredients such as chamomile, jojoba and calendula, and is safe to use on lash extensions. Megan from Thread has been using this and finds it really good.
While we’re talking eye make-up removers, here’s something a little different, and with very cool packaging to boot. I have a big problem with my mascara going under my eyes, so I was keen to try out this eye make-up corrector pen called Panda Eyes from Australian company De-coy, and available in New Zealand from the discounted beauty website www.gracielou.co.nz for $44.85. It’s portable and doesn’t require any cotton wool pads; instead, it has a woven cotton tip that is good for 100 uses. It’s 100% oil free, suitable for sensitive skin, and is animal testing-free.
I know I spend hours staring at a computer screen, which puts a huge strain on my eyes. I blame Facebook. One way to help cool stressed and strained eyes, leaving them refreshed, is Dr.Hauschka Eye Solace. It retails for $57.00 for 10 x 5ml ampoules, which is really cost effective when you consider it’s only $5.70 to make your eyes feel like a new person. As it were.
Also in single-use doses is the Collagen Eye Film box from Nimue SkinTechnology. Nimue Collagen Eye Film retails at $132 for 5 sachets, so is a spa-like special treat to make your eyes feel amazing. You smooth the films on under your eyes and a hydro gel enriched with collagen releases marine and botanical ingredients as it dissolves. A lovely treat to use once a week, straight from the fridge and far better for you than a Chardonnay.
