Hi there! Happy Wednesday!
Does the holiday season have you tired out yet? Or, if you’re like me, you’ve been tired since 2010 ; ) I am a huge fan of concealing my dark circles, but one item that I’ve been using for the past several months has become my favorite part of my morning skincare routine. I like to use skin care for a while before sharing it, and now I can’t wait to show you my dark circle secret weapon.
About OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème
Banana Bright Eye Crème brightens, targets fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces the look of dark circles. This eye cream creates collagen and it firms and hydrates even though it is lightweight. It is formulated with vitamin C to help revive and illuminate the entire eye area over time.
The OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème is inspired by the makeup artist must-have—”banana powder”—this subtly sunny cream contains special pigments to instantly brighten and color-correct the eye area. It also creates a smooth canvas for concealer application. This creme is formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Ole drew inspiration from a makeup artist secret he observed during his years of on-camera work: banana powder. Its pale yellow tint is designed to instantly brighten and color-correct, making it the perfect prep step for concealer. It features the same sweet, energizing citrus scent as bestselling OleHenriksen Truth Serum. This product is a Women’s Health 2018 Beauty Award winner.
Why I Love It
I previously used Benefit It’s Potent Eye Cream and it is a really nice brightening eye cream, but currently the OleHenriksen is winning my dark circle correcting eye cream contest. I like that it is a thicker creme as opposed to the more traditional lotion-like creme of the Benefit It’s Potent Eye Cream so I feel like the littlest bit goes a long way. It is a richer consistency, and the yellow tinted color helps like a banana powder with discoloration. This is one of those products where do I still have dark circles? Yes, but this helps a lot because I can tell whenever I don’t use it for a couple of days I can tell. Vitamin C is one of my favorite skincare ingredients and one where I notice such a difference with fine lines. I am starting to get more fine lines around the eye area now that I’m in the 30’s club, and the while I don’t suffer from too much dryness under my eyes, I do have more crepe-like skin that concealer just loves to settle into, and the OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème creates a smooth canvas for my concealer which has become a GAME CHANGER! I like that this creme is thick enough that it feels rich and luxurious, creates amazing moisture under the delicate eye area, and the thickness of it allows me to get a very small amount onto my ring fingertip to dab from my inner eye next to my nose all the way out to my outer eye where the crows feet want to be. It is $38 at Sephora and $45 on Amazon Prime but I have been using it for several months and still have more than half remaining, and it isn’t drying out in the pot.
My Routine
Each morning I wash my face with cold water (yes, even in the winter!), use my favorite toner, and then dab on my OleHenriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème before applying my moisturizer and S.P.F. I am careful to lightly dab in an upwards motion and not tug on the skin near my eye.
