Beauty - Waking up sleepy eyes

Lately, I've been desperate for a product to keep tired eyes in check. With a five-month old who is completely uninterested in staying asleep, I'm fed up of puffy, dark circles. After much experimentation, I've come up with this combo for attacking sleepy eyes, and I'm so happy, I must share!

Start with a clean, moisturized face. Next, apply a small amount of Preparation H ointment under the eyes. Let it soak in and shrink up your puffiness while you brush your teeth, pluck your brows, or whatever you need to do to kill a couple of minutes. Dab off any excess greasiness with a cotton ball or a washcloth.

Apply Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat under the eyes and pat to blend. I use #1 because I'm exceedingly pale. Look on eBay for a deal on this must have product. I don't know how I ever managed without it!

Next, line the eyes with a light colored pencil. I use Cargo's The Reverse Lipliner. So what if it's made for your lips, it's the perfect shade for brightening eyes!

Curl your lashes, apply mascara, and you're good to go. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Of course, always drink lots of water, it makes a huge difference!
