I brought some Dior stuff yesterday that covers the shadows up quite well, but I would like to either get rid of them or at least make them a bit better, I have a 6 month old so getting more sleep isn't really an option, what else can I do?

Come on all of you stylish mums, does arse licking get me more help?

If actual puffy bags, Anusol is supposed to help a lot

If bluey-black shadows, is more difficult I think - drink more water?

Bluey-black shadows I'm affraid, I drink about 2 litres of water a day as it is, do I really need to drink more?

Yup, Preparation H, or Lanisil. Designed to reduce swelling.

I agree on the water too.

Cucumber juice is supposed to have a mild bleaching effect!

Well maybe not then!

I think it's just to do with the texture of your skin - the bluey-black is the blood showing through your skin, which is particularly thin under the eyes. Don't think there's a whole lot you can do realistically. If there was, we'd all be at it...

Oh well, at least I can say I tried!!

Looks like Dior will be making plenty more money from me in the future!
