Under eye bags and dark circles

I spoke to a woman at one of my toddler groups about the bags under my eyes today, her husband is a GP who runs botox clinics, apparently you can't have it done under the eyes because there's no muscle there. I'm gutted because I was seriously considering having it done.

Touche eclat has been my friend for about 10 years, s'all I can do until I can afford surgery to have my eyes debagged and a browlift done. <sigh>

I've been using Clinique's "all about eyes" for about 6 months now and I do think it's made a difference to my black circles. Might be worth a go??

WSS, it's quite pricey but it goes a very long way.

Hi,

To cover dark circles then Benefit Your Bluffing is great. It's alot better than the lemon aid as it's creamier and so goes on nice and smooth. Use this and then you can use YSL Touche Eclat over the top.

I have dark circles and this combination gets rid of them completely.

Hi,

I had a facial (mmmmm!!!) for my birthday on Sunday, and I mentioned there that I was fed up with my eyes looking so tired and dark with big circles around them..

The beautician put it down to dehydration of the eyes, and did LOADS of treatments for the eyes - to be honest I could see a difference at the end of that day, having left on all the oils etc (ewww) all day. The cream she recommended is about £40/pot ? but still cheaper than Botox, I suppose? Could be worth a try?

Thanks for all the advice ladies. I think I will give the Clinque stuff a whirl but many creams have just not worked at all for me.

Aimee, I'm disclined to use the Benefit counter at our Debenhams as the girls there are useless! They sold me Lemon Aid instead of Boing (which sound like they did for you - Lemon Aid is for your eyelids apparently!), and mostly stand around talking to each other before they can be arsed dealing with anything so pressing as a customer! I might go to Mac or Bobbi Brown for some under-eye coverage lessons!

If these dont work I'm saving up the £2-3k to get the bags lifted!
