For Your Eyes Only!

 I have been going through a bit of a faze of trying out lots of different eye creams and thought i'd share my thoughts on a few of my favourites so far.

At my age i really see the difference if i dont use a good eye cream. My lines appear worse, my eyes feel tight and my dark circles look worse. Therefore i am constantly searching for a perfect eye cream.


Eucerin Aquaporin Active 15ml £13.27 from Boots

The Eucerine Eye Cream was a bit of a slow starter for me but the more i used it the more i liked it. It feels nice and light on the skin and it seems particularly good for dehydrated skins rather than dry.
A very good price and probably the one i would recommend for somebody who is starting out with eyecreams and doesnt want anything too rich.




Yes To Blueberries Eye Repair Cream 15ml £19.99 from Victoria Health

Yes to Blueberries Intensive firming Eye Repair Cream is probably the smoothest feeling cream that i have tried before. It is clinically proven to reduce lines within 28 days.
It does make my skin feel lovely and supple. A great all round product that i would definately buy again.
Packed full of natural ingredients and antioxidents it is really good value for money.



Elemis Absolute Eye Serum 15ml £26.60 from Debenhams

Elemis Absolute Serum is the lightest feeling of all 4 products. It works well on its own but comes into its own when applied on top of another eye cream. I love to use this when i need something a bit extra like when Ive had a lot of late nights or am going somewhere nice. It is a little pricey but a tiny drop is all you need.




 Savar Wonder Lift Eye Cream 30ml £25 from Savar.co.uk

Last but by no means least i have been using the Savar Wonder Lift Eye Cream which contains twice as much as the other creams with a price tag of £25 it is a steal.
Ingredients including organic bilberry and black tea extract help reduce puffiness and encourage firmness in to the area.
Again i would definitely re buy this eyecream.


Do you use an eyecream and if so which is your favourite?

Morning Skincare Regime!


This post is in conjunction with my evening skin care post which you can check out here . I use some of the same things in the morning so although i will mention them I'm not going to review them again as you don't want to read the same things over :)



I have been using this cleanser in the mornings and it feels really refreshing and leaves a beautiful fragrance. It seems to gently cleanse my skin and does not leave it tight at all. This contains Tee tree, Marine Algae and Aloe Vera.
A little of this stuff goes a long way, i have been using it for months and its still got loads left.



If i wake up and my skin is looking particularly oily or i can see or feel blemishes then i reach for this. I find this a bit too harsh for everyday use but it really does seem to do a great job of targeting blemishes.
This product contains Salicylic Acid, zinc and thermal spring water.



La Roshe-Posay Thermal Spring Water

I  reviewed this in my night time post here 


FAB 5 in 1 Face Cream Reviewed Here

I'm still loving this moisturiser for everyday use. I love the fact that it has a factor 30 SPF and it gives me a lovely soft face with a little bit of a glow but it isn't at all heavy either. Makeup goes on so easily after applying this as well.

Elemis Absolute Eye Serum

Again i already reviewed this on my evening skincare routine. I often use a separate eyecream for day and night but presently i am using just the one. I really like this serum as it seems to keep my skin around my eyes nice and hydrated without being too heavy although I'm thinking of switching to a slightly heavier eyecream at night.


so i use 4 different skincare products in the morning. How many do you use and have you tried any of these?
