A solution for my tired eyes…

 Do you have a skin care routine? Thanks to pale skin, genetics, and too many sleepless new-mom nights, I have some pretty dark circles under my eyes. I’ve tried to cover them up but no matter what I do, they are still there. Now that I’m 30 (yikes!) I need to take better care of my skin. Thankfully Mary, a rep for Rodan & Fields, the dermatologists behind Proactive, sent me the amazing Multi Function Eye Cream. It helps minimize the appearance of crow’s-feet, reduce the appearance of both puffiness and dark under eye circles (yes!!!) and brightens the eye area.
 

 I’ve been using the eye cream every night before I go to bed for a little over a month now. I tried to take before and after photos, but the difference is hard to capture on camera. But it’s totally there. The skin under my eyes is noticeably lighter. And defiantly firmer. I’m impressed with this product and will for sure keep using it!

After seeing some improvement in my dark circles, I’ve also started to think more about how I care for the skin under my eyes. Instead of carelessly rubbing all of my makeup off in the shower each night I carefully remove it with eye-makeup remover. I also carefully dab on under eye concealer using my middle finger. The skin under your eyes is so easily damaged…it’s time I start taking care of it!

So, are you like me and need a little help with under eye circles? Today is your lucky day! Mary and I are offering one The Girl in the Red Shoes reader a chance to win their own full-size Multi Function Eye Cream! Enter using the Rafflecopter giveaway below.

Also, Mary is offering the first 5 people who place an order with her a free mini facial kit! She was kind enough to send me a facial kit too and it is like heaven for your skin! You can see information about Mary and the different products from Rodan & Fields here.

    Your eyes actually look better 😉 Sometimes I am apprehensive with creams, but this one seems to do the job.

    Happy Monday!

    Oh I'm so intrigued! I am also wondering about your adorable watermark. How do you do that? I want to start watermarking my pictures, but I hate how long it takes!

    I have been using origins products for about 6 months now and I enjoy them. If I could afford Rodan and fields I would be all over it. A friend I know is a rep.
