You scream, I scream, we all scream for eye(s) cream

Finally, FINALLY I've found a conventional eye cream I'm happy with.  One that does exactly what it says.  I say conventional as my other HG eye cream is Garnier's Eye Roll On and I'm always concerned that they will stop making it as companies have a tendency to do that to products that sell well..need I mention chocolate covered pretzels and those gorgeous Secret bars? 

Before I fall into a daydream about chocolates, I'll show you the eye cream.

It has so much going for it.  It's cheap, the packaging is a nice shape and lets out the right amount of cream, the consistency of the cream is perfect, blending it into the undereye area is a dream, no tugging or anything.  I just squeeze it out the tube and pat it in gently.  You can feel it forming a "film" under your eye but that's not a problem as it soaks in very quickly, leaving your underye feeling very soft.

I've chucked the box away so I'll have to go by what the tube says.

This brightening eye cream contains the following:

• organic rose hip oil which is a hydrating anti oxidant
• arnica which helps to reduce dark circles and puffiness
• a multi fruit blend which contains AHA's (not the Alan Partridge type, I assume) which reveal a brighter, natural radiance

I didn't realise that this brand was also made by Superdrug, a fact I found out when I got home.  I wasn't looking forwards to trying this because the last Superdrug eye cream I used contained massive chunks of glitter...and it wasn't a bad batch because Jo found the same.

This Natural High cream is the bees' knees.  It does EVERYTHING it said it would.  It hydrates my undereye area, it makes the are brighter WITHOUT GLITTER and it behaves how I want an eyecream to behave.  Before using it I had tiny bumps under my eyes and after the first day of using it, the bumps were smaller and now they have totally vanished!

I don't understand how Superdrug can make such a winner of an eye cream and then such an abomination of an eye cream, all they need to do is ditch the glitter from the Vitamin E one and they're onto a winner.  Jo perservered with hers and said it wasn't a bad cream if there was no glitter in it.

Natural High eye cream is currently on sale in Superdrug for £1, but I'm not sure that's the right price because in other Superdrugs, I've seen it on sale for £2?

The Quest for a New Moisturiser..

Those who follow me on Twitter will know that my Korres moisturiser was on its last legs recently.  It sadly finished a good two weeks ago.

I decided to go to Tescos and pick up some foody bits and I came across an oganic three piece for £1.  It was down from £8 so I assumed the ingredients would be pretty decent.  The packet contained a moisturiser, a mask and a cleanser.  I haven't used the mask and the cleanser but I have been using the moisturiser.  It worked pretty well for the first few days and it was like a cheaper version of my Korres moisturiser but I knew it wouldn't last because I could feel my skin getting greasy.  I checked the ingredients and there was pomegranate in the moisturiser so maybe that's my magic ingredient?  One thing I noticed was that my Korres moisturiser was 40g and this is 30g but this is taking an age to finish..

Anyway, the main problem with the moisturiser was the smell of it.  It smelled like fried foods, but then a bit of strawberry too? It was a pretty obvious smell and people could smell it when they stood near me.

Today, I've been to Superdrug and picked up these two babies:

I've wanted to use them for ages and I've recently noticed that I'm getting dark circles and that my eye area is feeling dry and taught so hopefully the eye cream works too!
