The Perfect Vay-kay for your Eyes

If you’ve ever flipped through a women’s health or fashion magazine (and who hasn’t – even you, boys), then you all know that it is recommended for us – as twenty-somethings who care about how we look - to start using eye cream ASAP.  Yesterday.  Last week.  Especially, if you spend time in the sun AT ALL.  You only have one face, people! After growing up in the hot Texas sun, I take this beauty note very seriously.

There are countless varieties of eye creams to choose from and I’ve tried more than a few.  My favorite, however, is made by a brand that does not have a reputation for being sexy, but instead, it’s known for it’s reliability, excellent products and for being hypoallergenic (God Bless it.). Clinique. It’s probably the cosmetic line where you got your first mall makeover or where you purchased your first eye shadow or lipstick as a tween.  There isn’t bumping music blaring from behind it’s counters.  The white employee get-ups aren’t particularly attractive.  But, Clinique is a brand you can trust.  (I hope that was infomercial enough for everyone…) I have sensitive skin and have tried a number of cosmetic lines over the years, but I always end up back at Clinique.  And, lately, they’ve gotten hipper.  Promise! Back to their eye cream…

All About Eyes from Clinique

I love All About Eyes. It’s great for every day and nighttime wear, is incredibly moisturizing and has a lot of mileage.  It doesn’t aggravate my sensitive skin or cause my make-up to run.  The Clinique product description says All About Eyes “diminishes the appearance of eye puffs, darkness and fine lines.”  Just use a pea-sized amount under your eyes and on your lids every morning and evening.  You’ll be able to feel the difference of the skin around your eyes within a few days.  (The .5 oz bottle retails for $28.50/ 1 oz. for $47.00 – which isn’t bad at all for an eye cream.)

I strongly recommend Clinique’s All About Eyes and encourage you to drop by your local Sephora (Lenox Mall) to try it out.  What do you have to lose?!  Keep your face happy!
