Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream  $49 down from $99 - Similar to the face cream this is also a favorite eye cream of mine.  Fine lines, dark circles, dryness, all taken care of in this kick ass eye cream.

African Botanic Neroli Infused Marula Oil $70 down from $140 - If you want supple hydrated skin, give this a try.I used it mixed with my face and body creams for 6 month (a couple years ago) and was completely obsessed.Easily absorbs for hydration and radiance.Definitely one of my favorite oils I’ve tried. 

Bakel Thio-C Serum $98 down from $196 - Even with the discount this ones a bit expensive, but I did try this a few years back and loved how much of a glow it gave my skin.The vials contain Vitamin C powder you mix into the vial and to use within 3 days while it remains active.I like to use my Vitamin C during the day, but this can be used AM and PM.You will definitely see a glow quickly with this active combination of Vitamin C + Glutathione. 

Natura Bisse Inhibit Tensolift $365 down from $730 -Now at the price of a car payment instead of a mortgage payment, you can try Inhibit Tensolift.Natura Bisse is, in my opinion, one of the best skincare brands on the market.This serum is designed to have a similar effect to injectables by relaxing facial contractions giving a smoother look to the skin.It’s pretty much the skincare product everyone wants, it just comes at a price.I honestly can’t believe they actually let it go on sale, Natura Bisse is one bougie prestige brand (I’m not mad about it though)

Icelandic Relief

Out of all the types skincare products, the one I am most particular about is my eye cream.  Why?  They either work or they don't, there's no real in between.  Let's talk about eyes, they are the first to show signs of aging because they have the thinnest skin on the face, so you see all that stagnant blood underneath; they're constantly moving, all blinking and shit, creating fine lines, plus smiling moves the thin skin on the sides creating crows feet.  Oh you had a rough night sleep?  You drank too much? Basically your eyes are just going to say a big "fuck you, we're gonna make you look old".  Now Botox will help with crows feet and filler will help with dark circles and fine lines, but when you're forking $4k+ a year just to get your eyes looking less than dead, you search for other options.

Over the years I've found a handful of eye creams that have made a real difference, most over $100, so I was beyond thrilled when I tried the $45 Icelandic Relief Eye Cream from Skyn Iceland.  I'm obsessed with their Hydra Cool Firming Eye Gels (they adhere to your skin so you can move around instead of laying still for 15min) so when Skyn Iceland had a special that included an eye cream I figured I'd give it a try.  Now I have a long ass queue of products in my closet of happiness, so thissat right in the back for a few months.  I typically use an eye serum then a cream over top, sometimes a different cream for am and pm.  I had 3 products I was using for about a month when my eyes said "bro, chill out" and started looking all kinds of irritated and old, I turned to my closet and looked for the most natural formula I could find.  I tossed all my other eye products to the side and just used the Icelandic Relief Eye Cream.  Immediately my eyes felt hydrated and less irritated. Within a week my eyes started looking brighter, and continued to look better and better.  I only needed the smallest pea size amount of this oddly textured cream, which feels like a fluffy cottage cheese.  I tried bringing back in a 2nd eye cream/serum but this was working so good alone, I continued to use it am and pm until the sad day that it ran out. 

Key Ingredients:

Saponaria Pumila: A plant that survived the Ice Age, it contains stem cells that that stimulate eye regeneration helping smooth out fine lines and wrinkles while reducing puffiness.
White Lily, Pfaffia, and Marapuama: Improve microcirculation, lock in moisture and help diminish pesky dark circles.
Rice Peptides: Help destroy the enzyme that breaks down collagen.

If you want a bomb eye cream, no matter your budget, definitely give the Icelandic Relief Eye Cream a go.($3.50 off with code MAGICLINKS350)  I hope you're pleasantly surprised like I was.
