How To: Treat Under Eye Dark Circles



Don't you just hate it when you wake up in the morning and see those horrible under eye dark circles? You feel tired and older just looking at them. But you can do something about them – using sophisticated, natural ingredients. As with so many other issues to do with our skin, under eye dark circles and puffiness are caused by the aging process. Poor diet and smoking can also play a part.

What can you do about them?
First of all, make sure you have a good diet & drink a lot of water, get enough sleep and are not over -stressed. A good diet and a good sleep pattern will help to repair cell damage and reduce the likelihood of puffiness and under eye dark circles occurring. Stress can undo all the good work of the nutrients in your diet – and of course can badly affect your sleeping patterns. Try some meditation or other relaxation techniques to reduce the effects of stress in your life. It will do your whole system a favour. Make sure you invest in the proper beauty treatments to treat this problem... if you prefer to use a more natural sort of mixture I'm providing a few tips and tricks I use when I feel like stepping away from my eye cream for a short while.

Tips & Tricks:
☆ Close your eyes and cover eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and then apply your facial cream.

☆ Rub the area with a powdered Vitamin E capsule and wipe off with a mixture of honey and egg white. This will reduce darkness around the eye.

☆ Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.

☆ Crush some mint and apply it around the eye.

☆ Put hot and cold clothes alternatively under eyes for 10 minutes. Then apply some almond oil on the dark surface before going to bed.


☆ Soak (caffeinated) tea bags and chill them in the freezer for a few minutes, then place them on your eyes to reduce puffiness.

Macy's Fragrance Magazine

 I got a Macy's magazine in the post today and it was filled with all sorts of fragrances! It had a few samples  as well! The photographs of the bottles were very well taken such a great spread. This had to be one of the best magazines released to sell their scents I have ever seen! Throughout the book there were tips that I have listed after the photos! I enjoyed looking through the catalog and I hope you all have took the time to look through yours as well!


Company's are getting very creative with the design of their bottles. They have unique shapes and trinkets! Ribbon detail and jewels and so on... It's exciting to smell the next scent but even More exciting to me is to see the next work of art that holds the juice!



There were no models in the booklet except for this very on ad straight in the middle. Gucci deff made this one stunning with beautiful makeup and a terrific eye catching image. Classic look, very nice!





Tips & Tricks!!

"To make your scent last all day, start in the morning with the shower gel and lotion; refresh mid - day with a spritz of fragrance."

"If you keep fragrances tightly capped in a cool, dark spot, you'll prevent evaporation and changes in notes."

"Spritz your fragrance in the air and walk through for an even coverage and instant drying!"

"Because Fragrance rises, try keeping it behind your knees and inside your elbows for a lasting impression."
