We still have a few short days to enjoy the Sephora Holiday Savings Event and I thought I’d share my top eye creams I’d totally buy (or in my case restock) during this event as some of these are on the pricy side! I do have a current dynamic duo I’m obsessed with using at the moment but the eye creams in this post are ones I own, use often, and adore. And as you may know I’m as obsessed with good eye creams as I am with concealers! I’ve tested A LOT and I do think most of them don’t actually work. Dark circles, puffiness, finer lines, all the things that plague us aren’t always easily addressable by an eye cream. I’ve sort of quit trying to cure these issues now I just look for eye creams with the most moisture and those, that contain HA or other ingredients that I know work to hydrate and smooth lines. Hydration is one the keys in making my finer lines look smoother and filled in! Which you’ll find below are quite a few intensely hydrating eye creams. So, if you have a drier under eye area these will be your bestest friend!
You’ve heard me say it before and I’ll say it again Hourglass Equilibrium Intensive Hydrating Eye Balm is my absolute fav. I’d buy it even if it wasn’t on sale. This has a thick, Vaseline-like and provides super nourishing hydration under eyes! It’s truly the best of the best if you need moisture!
As big a Youth to the People fan girl I am I can’t say I love their eye creams! When I got my hands on the Youth To The People Peptides + C Energy Eye Concentrate with Vitamin C and Caffeine for the first time I was convinced I wasted money. This has grown on me so much. It’s a peptide rich formula with caffeine to depuff. It’s very thin yet creamy and I think that’s prob why it turned me off as I really wanted something thicker, creamier and just more hydrating! I’m so glad I didn’t quit on it because it’s turn into a fond fav of mine. It won’t be for everyone but it has a certain tackiness to it which I oddly enjoy! It just makes the area under my eyes feel more hydrated as it sets. The tackiness lasts for several minutes bit disappears once it settles into your skin. It’s also, one of the very few eye creams that does ease some of my puffiness! This one grows on a person!
It’s not really an eye cream…! But Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base Primer & Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid is amazing. AMAZING, amazing, amazing! You know when you apply your eye cream in the morning and finally sit down to do your makeup only to realize you sort of need a little more moisture under your eyes for your concealer to look it’s very best? That’s exactly where Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base Primer comes into the picture. I apply my eye cream as always in the morning but when it’s time for my makeup my first step is face primer and my next is Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base Primer & Moisturizer! It’s a great way to get that extra boast of moisture under drier eyes so your concealer looks perfect, smooth, and not cakey or dry!
If you want BIG time hydration hands down that award goes to Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Eye Cream with Retinol! I’m not a Magic Cream fan girl by any means (although, the Magic Night Cream is awesome!) but the Magic Eye Cream is brilliant. SUPER creamy, SUPER hydrating, this was made with us dry skin girls in mind! Wake up to smooth, well hydrated eyes when using this!
LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex is an odd formula but interesting. It makes a host of promises like treating fine lines, dryness, and puffiness but the real benefit is the fact it really does create bouncier, smoother skin under your eyes. I actually really like this stuff even though I think I might be a bit old for the demographic they are targeting!
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum for Fine Lines & Wrinkles with Gentle Retinol Blend was impossible to find last Sephora Holiday Sale. It had launched shortly before the sale and flew off shelves. It took me well AFTER the sale was over. I didn’t expect much from it as it is a lighter, thinner formula but interestingly enough it hydrates well not to mention I feel like my finer looks look way less visible when I use it consistently! I did think it was over marketed but I’m a believer now!
If you’re in need of a new eye cream I hope some of these suggestions help!
