SOS. Your very best eye bag & circle remedies pleeeease

I have a 5-month old baby who ha decided that 5.40am is the pinnacle moment of the day and that I simply must be awake to appreciate it too. Hmm

My eyes have layers of bags and the dark circles are like pissholes in the snow.

Tomorrow I'm going to a wedding and dammit I want to look vaguely good. I have had hair & beauty treatments galore in the past few days but haven't done anything to the ol' peepers (surgery is probably my only option but it's off the table only because I can't afford it).

So. HELP. What remedies do you have??? I will hang upside down, apply cold fruit, dunk my eyes in tea or buy any patch mask gel you recommend.

*eternal gratitude to anyone who responds

I have horrendous eye bag and dark circles and recently bought an elemis eye serum which is magical! Takes a few days tho might be worth a try.

Ok tell me the name and I will purchase. But I have no time for this delayed gratification of taking a few days to work.

i have bobbi brown corrector cream, use it under concealer. it's quite good.

Stick a teaspoon into the freezer for a few minutes then place on offending bags. Works a treat! Enjoy your day out

It's called elemis absolute eye serum. If you can get some today it makes a difference very quickly.

The Bobby brown correctors and concealer is probably amongst best on the market for the circles....you need to work on puffiness first today any chance of a facial with some lymphatic drainage?!

tak1ngchances · 27/02/2015 09:39

Can't get to salon as have five-month old. I could try to give myself a facial? Does YouTube show how to do the terrifying lymphatic drainage?

I have the same issues minus a 5 month old baby!

Does the bobby brown corrector and concealer help with broken capillaries on the face?

SuzanneSays · 27/02/2015 10:29

I have a six month old non sleeper and feel your pain! I use touch éclat and Claris beauty flash eye reviver on top-definitely look better after I've done this!
