Boots No 7 Beautiful Skin Rich Hydrating Eye Cream

Hi beauties! Just a super quick post letting you all know that I love this stuff! 

The Beautiful Skin Rich Hydrating Eye cream for all skin types is fantastic. It's nothing super special: it doesn't claim to reduce wrinkles or decrease puffyness, but gosh does it feel great.

The formulation is not overly thick and I just use a tiny drop on my ring fingers, rub them together, and pat under both eyes. It absorbs quickly and is not greasy.  I like to use this at night and my under eyes stay hydrated all day. I use it in conjunction with my Garnier Anti-Wrinkle under-eye roller ball thingy (the one in the green tube with the metal ball that feels wonderful.)

For .5 oz of product the cost is about $14-15.  I got mine through Walgreens.com, but Boots No 7 is also sold at Ulta.  (Next time I'll purchase it there with a 20% off coupon.) I'm sure there are other eye creams that have more benefits and actually work wonders, but I am quite pleased with this product. 

But does it work?

For not having any special claims, yep!  Works just fine. 

So would I buy it again?

Definitely. I'm also interested in other under-eye products. I don't have bags or dark circles, but targeting premature wrinkles would be nice. 

What are your favorite under-eye products?

NYX Infinite Shadowstick

Tried out these NYX Infinite Shadowsticks in store on my hand and they stayed on all day.  Literally, all day. NYX's claim to waterproof and smudge proof is true. I still saw reminants of shadow at the end of the night. I knew I had to buy them; perfect for those long days where I go from desk job to bartending job with a quick stop at the gym in between. My eye makeup would just be one thing I wouldn't have to worry about touching up. 

These retail for $8.99 at Ulta.  You get .19 oz of product that comes in a traditional pencil form. Meaning it needs to be sharpened. Not my favorite.  I really wish it was a twist-up product. 

The colors I got were Rose Gold (top) and Silk (bottom.) Rose Gold is just that; a metallic rose-gold color, and Silk is more of a taupey goldish brown. Both are beautiful. 

The product isn't overly pigmented. It's a nice application of color that can be blended out easily. I apply it straight from the pencil and blend it out with my finger. A light crease color and some smokey liner is how I've been wearing this and it looks great. It would also make a great base color for a more intense look. 

But does it work?

Once set, the color does not budge and doesn't crease.  Face wash and a quick swipe of eye-makeup remover is all I use to take this off, so it also removes pretty easily, too.  These are fantastic and the color selection is quite beautiful. There are 9 total including a black and a highlight shade. 

Would I purchase it again?

You bet! I would live to have all these colors. I think a pretty metallic eye will be my go-to this summer. The black would also make for a great going out smokey eye that won't end up making me look like a raccoon. 

Have you tried the shadowsticks?  What do you think?  If you haven't, go out and get yourself one!
