Because I'm Asian and my mom has good genes (she only started getting grey hair well into her 60s and everyone comments about how she looks at least a decade younger), I had never bothered about wrinkles or aging. Until I looked in the mirror recently and realized that I had developed some lines under my eyes. I'm in my mid-30s by the way, so I guess this is only natural. But still.
Admittedly, I could definitely use more sleep (those late night TV programs) as can be seen from my dark circles. However, I had never been too concerned about them as I could depend on my trusted YSL Touche Eclat with the light-reflecting pigments to 'hide' them. However, wrinkles and lines are a different matter.
So it was with some determination that I set about to look for the perfect eye cream. Naturally, I scouted around the Internet for some recommended brands first. However, since I didn't know where I could purchase Natura Bisse and Relastin in Singapore and I just had to get my eye cream instantly (the shopaholic that I am), I settled on Chanel.
Actually, the recommended eye cream was the Chanel Sublimage but the sales assistant informed me that it was really for older women (she thought I was in my 20s, bless her soul, and I didn't have the heart to correct her) with dry skin around the eyes that need more hydration. So she recommended that I purchase the Chanel Rectifiance Intense Retexturizing Line Correcting Eye Cream instead to keep those wrinkles at bay. Hey, if someone compliments you about your age, you would tend to believe everything they say, wouldn't you?
The texture is smooth and not too greasy and it has a pleasant non-smell that won't offend. It's not too heavy and is absorbed easily without causing you to get those unsightly bumps and white spots (milia) on your eye.
But I've been applying it faithfully over the past 3 weeks and I have still not noticed any difference to my lines or my dark circles. Sigh. SGD 110 down the drain. Anyone has other recommendations?
