The dreaded eye bag!!!!!

I had to stop using my eye cream as my eyes have become very sensitive. I haven't yet found one which doesn't burn the yes outta my head.
So consequently my under eyes are awful. Really dark and baggy Hmm
Can anyone recommend either a good cover up or a vvv sensitive cream.
Or
Should I go to a counter such as Clinique and throw myself at their mercy???

When bio oil was a 'new big thing' I remember going to look at it in Boots. As I was standing there a woman came over and said "oh, I've heard of this! I usually use X for the dark circles under my eyes but I think I'll give this a go."

I bought some too but could never keep up with it enough to tell whether it made a difference.

BUT what really bugged me was that I could never remember what the X was that she said she normally used. This woman had no dark circles. Seriously, none. She was smooth and bag free and beautiful. What was the X she usually used?! I needed it in my life! I still do!

Years and years have passed and it still bugs me that I can't remember. I should have tackled her the face creams aisle of Boots there and then and forced all her beauty secrets out of her.

That wasn't useful was it? Sorry! Good luck on your mission! If you do find the cure, make sure you share it with everyone. Even slightly startled looking teenagers in Boots.

I'd go to clarins counter, explain how sensitive your skin is, and ask them for a weeks worth sample before you part with the forty quid they'll want from you for the big pot.

My circles and baggage have been made manageable by Bobbi Brown.... The corrector and then concealer....

Bloody marvellous

I have really sensitive sore eyes and I used clarins baume contour des yeux. It was amazing! Try that :)

Thank you both. Clarins has come up a few times. I'm going to give their counter a go.
