Mary Kay TimeWise+ Volu-Fill Wrinkle Corrector

Mary Kay TimeWise+ Volu-Fill Wrinkle Corrector $88.00 available from www.marykay.com.au

Have you ever used a beauty product and thought that the description didn't match what was in the tube?

I had that exact experience with the new Mary Kay Wrinkle Corrector (I am shortening the name because plah-leese, I am not typing it 7 times in this post)The first time I applied the very thick cream to my eye area as part of my nightly skincare routine it felt very strange and not nourishing to the area at all. The next morning I applied it to the same area around my eyes whilst looking in a mirror and it was amazing. This is what I wanted the much hyped Indeed Labs Nanoblur to do, act as a primer, fill in and blur fine lines and sit perfectly under my make up! Mary Kay claims it to be a fine line and wrinkle corrector with skin care benefits, but I am not too sure it works that way and I didn't see any improvement in my fine lines over the 2 weeks of use. But I did become obsessed with it as a primer for eye make up, it is perfect at mattifying and blurring imperfections and have been using it daily.

There has been a huge amount of these blurring and priming products hitting the shelves lately and none have seemed to really work out for me until now, so if you are like me and haven't found a product to hit your priming spot then this gem is worth a try.

It's all about eyes .... OBAGI ELASTIderm Eye Serum and Treatment Cream

OBAGI Medical ELASTIderm Eye Serum $99.00 and Eye Treatment Cream $99.00 available from 

www.obagi.net.au

Eye creams, serums and gels dominate a large area of the skin care market with advertising being blasted at you every time you open a magazine or read your favourite websites but do you really need to use one? YES YOU DO!

Here is a very simple explanation on why, you have oil glands all over your face and body which keep your skin naturally hydrated, oil glands plump the skin so that fine lines are not as visible. There are a few places where you do not have natural oil glands one being your eye area, there are also far few layers of skin in your eye area. This is the reason fine lines appear first around your eyes, because the skin is thinner and not as hydrated naturally. The best defence for keeping lines from appearing is to keep the area hydrated and plumped with as much moisture as possible, by using super hydrating eye creams and serums. 

Two of my favourite line-fighting eye products are from a comeceutical brand Obagi which I first heard about on Wayne Goss's amazingly informative YouTube channel. The eye treatment cream I apply in the mornings after cleansing - before my daily moisturiser and at night before applying night cream, it is extremely light weight on the skin and is undetectable when applying makeup over the top. The Obagi Eye Serum is extremely cooling and I love applying it to tired eyes in the morning, it really brightens and tightens the under eye area. 

I have been using both of these products combined for a month and have found that they give great moisture and hydration to the eye area and the best thing is they do not peel when makeup is applied over the top of them. If you like many have skipped an eye cream in your daily moisturising routine now is the time to change and you will definitely notice a difference at any age.
