Must Try, Beauty Buy, You Decide

Must-Try:
A tad tired? Whether it's the constant partying or extended office hours, exhaustion can wear a girl down, especially underneath her eyes! On the days when more than five hours of sleep is a luxury I just can't afford, I need an instant fix to save my eyes from embarrassment.
Patricia Wexler, M.D.'s Instant De-Puff Eye Gel is a super soothing gel that cools the eye area upon contact. This beauty steal incorporates a skin tightening yeast complex to help deflate visible bags and wrinkles, as it firms the orbital area. I can't say I noticed a difference in fine lines, but this rejuvenating eye treatment made my skin feel calm, cool and collected, especially the eyes.

Beauty Buy:
Dare to go natural? When you're in need of an affordable, eco-friendly eye saving treatment, reach for Korres Evening Primrose Eye Cream. This rich and relaxing firming cream helps to fight back against environmental damage and stress while you snooze.

The triple action cream works to reduce fine lines, dark circles and shield skin from future sun damage with SPF. The formula? A velvety linolenic acid and an essential fatty acid, that provides a surge of hydration to the orbital area. Simultaneously Vitamin K and Ruscus extracts help to increase blood flow to the eye area and zinc oxide works to protect and prevent against future damage.

With no harmful chemicals, mineral oils, alcohol, synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, phalates or outrageous price tag, I'm in love!

You Decide:
There has been some criticism of La Mer in the news lately, however after working in skin care for more years than I'd like to admit, I have to say that the true test of a product isn't the binders filled with clinicals or the published articles singing the praises of a new beauty breakthrough. It's the real life results.

La Mer The Eye Concentrate may cost as much as dinner at Union Square Cafe,  but the results are undeniable. This concentrated, ultra-luxe eye treatment provides a surge of hydration to the orbital area. It is said to reduce dark circles, fine lines, puffiness and encourage the look and feel of healthy skin. So what if I have to eat canned tuna for two weeks to afford it? Love, love, love!

Do you think it's a beauty hoax or a miracle skin saver?
