Wanted : A damn good eye cream
August 9th 2007 01:14
Being of Asian descent, I was never endowed with lids you could freely apply any shade of eyeshadow to. But with the years passing, my eyelids have been getting heavier and heavier that I feel, within the next decade, they would droop right down to my line of vision and I would have to pry them up with a peg – or get plastic surgery. Nowadays, when I stare at someone, I make the conscious effort to raise my eyebrows slightly so I don’t look like I’m growling at them.
As for my eye bags, I’ve tried applying cold spoons to my puffy eyes, going so far as to use them while sitting at my work desk in the mornings, prompting colleagues to whisper “Is she alright?” to each other. I’ve done the cucumbers – and ate them in frustration afterwards. I was even tempted to try the haemorrhoid cream but scrapped that idea when I read it could be dangerous if you inadvertently rub your eyes anytime during the day.
In the past three years, I've tried different eye cream products – Olay, Clinique, Jurlique, Ella Bache, Loreal, Avon, the list goes on. Except for Loreal’s Revitalift (my eyebags only grew puffier, I had people asking me if I’d been crying all night) and Avon Anew Clinical Eye Lift (the gel for the top lid was so sticky, I got two eyelids everytime I blinked), none have shown any results. And I’m slowly starting to believe this salesclerk at David Jones who might have been drunk at the time she whispered to me, “None of these things really work, you know”.
But now, I’ve decided to jump back on the eye cream bandwagon. Surely, surely, there must be an eye cream out there that actually does what it’s supposed to? After browsing the net, I came across the Top Eye Wrinkle Creams Rated and Reviewed and here are their top 5 eye creams :
1. Athena 7 Minute Lift
2. Freeze 24/7
3. Alpha Derma CE
4. Deception Wrinkle Cream
5. Hydroderm Wrinkle Cream
But before I go out and buy any or all of these products in my desperate attempt to keep my sagging lids at bay, have any of you tried any of the above? And were you happy with the results? Alternatively, are there any other eye creams you’ve tried that you think have worked wonders?
