Eye cream recommendations please

I'm bewildered, can anyone recommend me an eye cream? I am 37 and have a few faint crow feet lines but I'm more worried about dark circles, hoodedness and sunken sockets. I want something I can use morning and night (so not too heavy that eye make up slides off mid morning). Budget up to £30.

TIA :)

I've used numerous, with the results ranging from no effect to burning my eyes Confused (the eye burning was a 'premium' brand...).

For me, the one that is the best so far - not heavy, feels nice, make up fine on top, and visible difference in circles/bags/puffiness/looking a bit sunken - is the Nutriganics one from the Body Shop. I'm on their mailing list and there almost always seems to be a great offer (eg 40% off), I buy other products there so I stock up then.

I have had the same eye area 'issues' since childhood/adolescence so it's not just an aging thing for me (am 24). I was worried about it continuing to get worse so I've spent several years trying to find something that works for me. I used to work in a beauty hall so got to try lots of stuff - they were the worst for me Hmm - and picked up samples in Space NK etc, also tried my luck with cheap ones which had no adverse effects but just no real positives ones either. I'd recommend picking up samples of recommendations or based on good reviews, if you can, as I saved a lot more money that way having been ripped off initially.

(apologies for typos, screen being temperamental so can't read all of my post!)

PS I use it morning and night, costs £14 normally so I usually get it around £8.40.
