Chanel: Sublimage Eye

Chanel Sublimage Eye

Nothing makes us feel more pampered and indulgent than Chanel’s luxurious skincare products. We honestly don’t think our day could go wrong if it begins with a little Chanel.

Chanel Sublimage Eye Essential Regenerating Eye Creamicon, a botanical-rich eye cream evolved from Sublimage Regenerating Cream, targets dark spots and puffiness while increasing radiance and firmness around the eye area.

This delicate cream practically melts into our skin— and while we’re not certain it’s more effective than our other eye creams, the fact that it makes us feel like a million bucks is totally worth the price tag.

Whipped cream for the eyes

One of our favorite rituals of the day is the half hour prior to bedtime when we stand before our bathroom sink and prepare our skin for the peaceful 8 hours of sleep ahead.

Or the not-so-peaceful 6 hours of sleep ahead. (Who are we kidding? We have a pre-schooler that somehow ends up in our bed almost every night, no matter how many times we’ve begged, pleaded and bribed her to sleep on her own.)KenzoKi Relaxing Eye Whipped Cream

Needless to say, restless nights wreak havoc on our complexion. This is why we savor the moments before bed by lingering a little longer than we probably should at the sink with our beloved jars and bottles of face cream. It’s the perfect way to end the day.

And, thanks to KenzoKi Relaxing Eye Whipped Cream, it’s the perfect way to start the morning.

When applied before bed this incredibly silky eye cream goes to work without any effort from us whatsoever. None. Nada. Zilch.

The original formula of white lotus, essential oils and mineral salts, along with some other fancy ingredients, creates a zen-like eye cream that has us looking forward to bedtime. Gently patted around our eyes (with the ring finger, girls. Always the ring finger) KenzoKi Relaxing Eye Whipped Cream tames puffiness and dark areas while relieving tired eyes.

Our eyes haven’t looked this rested since, well, um… (We would mention the whole pre-schooler in our bed thing, but then you might be all SHUT UP about that already, just put the damn kid in her bed and don’t let her get up. Who’s the parent anyway? and then we might have to wonder if you really even need this eye cream because you obviously live a stress-free life while enjoying 12 hours of sleep every night. And you probably eat all of your vegetables, too.)

Instead, we got fine, flyaway hair

Thankfully, we have never had to deal with dark undereye circles.

However, undereye puffiness, freckles, and the ability to gain five pounds by just looking at a Krispy Kreme are the gifts we were destined to have. Thanks genes!Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream

Our husband on the other hand (who is very hot, by the way, even with dark circles,) being half portuguese, has dealt with his dark circles his entire life. (Not that he has ever cared, or even noticed them.) (That is what he has a wife for!)

Several years ago we tried Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream to see if it would help our undereye puffiness, which it totally did, but ended up urging our husband to use it for his dark circles. (For the record, and in case any of his buddies are reading this website, he wants us to make it clear that we forced this eye cream upon him. Got that? He was FORCED.)

Within a week of using this, his dark circles were noticeably lighter, and while they never completely go away, the powerful anti-oxidants in this product keep them at bay.

If you are one of the lucky ones that was destined for dark circles and have not yet tried Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream, you MUST!
