Pretty Peepers *blink blink*

I've just got to share my new 'discovery' & joy!!!

But first, just a little background. . .

You know how women are... we're all into taking good care of our skin & growing old graciously.

I've always been very particular about the things I put on my eyes, face & neck (only since I turned 25...before that age, I didn't even bother to put on sunscreen, tone or moisturise my face *yikes* shame on me & I've only got myself to blame for my poor & sensitive skin condition now!)

More recently, as the big 3-O slowly creeps up on me (not yet! not yet! *bleh*), all the more I am picky with my skincare products. I mean...I've gotta be certain they're good! Right?!
So, these were the eye care products I've been using previously . . .

* Applied in the morning *
* Applied in the night *

I used to apply Estee Lauder's Advance Night Repair cream for both morning & night. But only recently switched to Vichy Cold Eye Stick for mornings cos it has a lighter texture plus it feels really cool & refreshing after application.



As for reviews on these 2 products...

1) Vichy Cold Eye Stick: Did nothing for my eyes, except for it's cool & refreshing feel. (Usage duration: 3mths) Price: 2/5 stars

2) Estee Lauder's Advance Night Repair: Supposed to reduce dark circles, puffiness & lines...frankly, I didn't feel much diff either. Okay, granted the fact that neither of the above problems are exceptionally prominent for my case, plus I'm not that observant/ sensitive with this sorta changes. So, I'm not too certain about the effects of this product. (Usage duration: 1.5~2yrs) Price: 4/5 stars

With that said, you can only imagine how effective the product I'm about to intro u is, for me to even notice the improvements around my eyes.

Ladies & maybe some metrosexual gentlemen . . . . . .

Presenting my new fav. skincare product . . . . .


GARNIER ULTRALIFT

* ANTI-WRINKLE FIRMING EYE CREAM *

After not more than 3 applications, I could feel the difference already!

During the first couple of applications (I started with night applications only cos I was afraid the cream would be unsuitable for younger skin), I woke up the next day feeling a slight tightness & firmness around my eyes.

By the 3rd/ 4th day, when I looked in the mirror, I thought I somewhat looked different...that I looked more energetic (which was really bizzare cos I was only sleeping less than 7hrs/ day due to Euro cup *hahaha*, and was feeling absolute crap all week). Then I realised, it was my eyes! My eyes looked brighter & more awake! *woot*

What's even better is, this product ain't expensive! Probably 1.5/5 stars I would say.

Ladies, don't say I didn't share this baby with you yah! Give this wonder tube a try!


Perhaps after I finish the Ultra-Lift eye cream, I might give the Stop eye cream a shot. Since the Stop range is suppose to be for first signs of ageing. . . *hmmm*


GARNIER STOP

* ANTI-AGEING EYE CREAM *
Then again, who knows... I might decide to purchase the entire Ultra-Lift range !!!

*hahahaha*
