It’s a common theme heard in our dark eye stories from real people, “people think I didn’t get enough sleep, or that I have strange habits, but it’s not true!” Dark eye circles and puffy eyes can have many causes, and lack of sleep is only one possibility. We respectfully disagree with Mayo Clinic summary, that fatigue is the most common cause of dark eye circles. Under-Eye Bags Caused by…

New Artificial "Second Skin" May Reduce Eye Bags and Wrinkles #beauty #cosmetics

It may seem like a miracle solution: applying a new, “youthful” skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and eye bags in aging skin. The image you see here of a woman’s dramatic facial transformation is an artist’s impression, similar to ones you may have seen in various online ads: it’s a compelling image, but not currently reality.

Reviewed by Erica from Washington, April 2016 As a longtime allergy sufferer and tired mom, I can’t even count the number of concealers I’ve tried in the past to cover dark, puffy under eye circles I get sometimes. I seriously have a drawer filled with concealers that were either the wrong color, didn’t provide enough coverage or just felt icky. I have tried tons of expensive, departments store…

Mary Kay TimeWise Firming Eye Cream Review "I was absolutely STUNNED by the results!" #marykay @MaryKay

Reviewed by Lauren from North Carolina, April 2016 As a 26-year-old high school teacher, you might imagine why I would need an “under the eye” cream. Even at my youthful age, I have severe dark circles and “smile lines” under my eyes.
