Beautiful Eyes

Compare to my puppy eyed friends, I have seriously small eyes. Fortunately, these beady eyes have advantages as well--- they don't show signs of aging as much. After I turned 25, however, I do see some signs of lines/spots creeping up slowly. Good thing I started my eye regimen early. So out of the 20+ eye treatments that I've tried, here are the winning numbers:

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

This is by far my favorite everyday eye cream. I use this in the morning and sometimes at night. Just dab a tiny bit with my ring finger and then gently rub between the two ring fingers and let the cream "melt" a little, then just tap around the eyes in an upward motion.

Estee Lauder's Advance Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex

I use this at night, about 3-5 times a week. I started using the sister product for the face first (A MUST HAVE!), fell in love with it and then bought this one. Very light and airy, but moisturizes very well.

Pola Wrinkle Shot

This is my emergency kit. I use it after pulling all nighters and when my eyes are extra tired and need an extra LIFT.

Pola Eye Zone Mask

Another great creation by Pola.

Bremenn Research Labs Hylexin

I alternate between this and Kiehl's during the day. But I don't have enough dark circles to tell if this really works like magic. My cousin swears by it though.

Last little tip to revitalize tired and/or puffy eyes: I keep a natural, alcohol and fragrance free toner in the fridge and drench two cotton pads with the cold toner, then use them as eye masks for 5-10 minutes. Great way to give your eyes a wake up call.

Okay, hope this helps!
