Smashbox BB Cream Eyes

Smashbox BB Cream Eyes

I’m pretty lazy when it comes to prepping and concealing my eyes properly! I know, I know…. I should, but it’s just one of those things… My skin tends to get kinda oily, especially in this heat, so piling on too much “product” (eye cream, concealer etc) often makes making-up a bit of a mission. So I usually just moisturize my whole face and then apply foundation. Lately, I’ve been using the new BB Cream Eyes from Smashbox. It’s pretty amazing… A BB Cream, but for your eyes. It gives you all the benefits of BB cream; fades dark circles, reduces puffiness, smoothes fine lines/  wrinkles and improves firmness, while at the same time priming, protecting, concealing, hydrating and illuminating the eyes. WHEW! It’s an all in one solution. Pretty cool.

My Filorga Favourites

My Filorga Favourites

Filorga Cleanser With Cell Extracts This is a really fantastic cleanser and doesn’t require any water. So if you suffer with sensitive skin, then this might be for you! To apply, all you need to do is put a small amount of product on a cotton disk and work it over your face. No rinsing necessary! Use another, clean cotton disk to remove any product that’s left over. You could also soak the cotton bud in Filorga’s Toning Lotion if you like that squeaky clean feeling. It leaves your face feeling moisturized straight after cleansing – which I like. It’s also great at removing makeup, but if you do heavily made up eyes, you may want to use an eye makeup remover beforehand, to ensure you get it all off. Filorga Cleanser With Cell Extracts combines cellular DNA precursors, collagen, elastin, omega 3 as well vitamins A, C and E. It’s designed to reconstruct the skin by focusing on the issues that cause your damage to cells and tissues in your face.   Filorga Eye Contour With Cell Extracts Much like the Filorga Cleanser with Cell Extracts, Filorga Eye Contour With Cell Extracts has been designed to protect the skin from aging and to target degenerative damage caused by the aging processes. Much…
