Eyes in the know

"We learned as we went along and all believed the organic approach to be the only way forward that respects the planet we live on." Paul Ricahrds of Herbfarmacy, Herefordshire.

7am lie in today! Hurrah!! With two boys, aged 3 and 1 this is a rare treat! I just wish we'd had an early night last night rather than filling my ipod with a gazillion CDs ( a job I've been meaning to do forever) So, my eyes were still a little puffy this morning - sliced cucumber from the fridge? Not this morning, today I've opted for my new treat: New 'Just Eyes' from Herbfarmacy. A winner in the Natural and Organic Awards 2011 this has got to be good? Made with Cornflower and Siberian Ginseng the product promises to nuture the skin around the eyes.
I delicately tapped the cream around the eye area. Tapping is a tip I picked up from a Korean backpacker who was staying at the same hostel when I was in Surfers Paradise (Eastern Australia). Tapping is an Eastern tip in applying creams to invigorate the skin rather than rubbing in cream and stretching skin . . . . makes sense.
Just Eyes also boasts Arnica within its approved line up of delicious ingredients, which is great for dark circles - great for the ipod fillers!!

The verdict: Light, refreshing, not sticky and dries quickly. I was able to apply make up within about three minutes.

From a Mummy's point of view: Easy to apply, quick drying and effective

My only niggle: I wish the packaging was a little more exciting - not essential but I do love pretty things.
