Topic: Eye Creams
I know that I give drugstore items a hard time. I know that I talk an unnatural amount of smack about their lackluster quality. However, I am woman enough to admit when I have been proven false (check the archives...its happened before) and its happened again.
Boots, available at a Target near you, has one of the best moisturizing eye creams I have ever tried. There, I've said it. Heck, I'll even repeat it: one of the best moisturizing eye creams ever...that is to say, in this history of human life on planet earth. Yep.
Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Eye Cream provides the perfect amount of moisture and works well on both oily and dry skins. More importantly, it absorbs quickly and wears well under concealers. I'm finding this to be a wonderful, light, non greasy and non smelly day cream in the summer. Another plus is that it comes in a tube. Too many great eye creams come in jars that risk cross contamination everytime you dig in there. With this, you just squirt out what you need and get to work.
The Cons?
- No SPF so you'll want to use a concealer that has some in it.
- Parabens? They're in there!
- No wrinkle fighting agents. If this is a problem you're dealing with, use Boots in the morning and a strong wrinkle fighter at night. Here's a review on the one I recommend most (riiiiight here).
I've listed the pros above, but one of the best things about this product is the price. You can get a long lasting tube (20 ml!) of this eye cream for less than $7. Put down the sandwich, get off the computer and go get it....NOW!
