Eye Creams & Serums - Where to Start?

"Gorgeous" by Lush Doesn’t Make Me Feel So Gorgeous

I have to admit, after reading so many online rave reviews of Lush’s Gorgeous moisturizer, I wanted to run out to the store and get it. Now mind you, this product is $90 – yes, $90 for 1.5oz! But luckily, a friend got a sample (Way to go! and why didn’t I think of that???). I tried it for about a week (at night) and it just did nothing for my skin. It’s super sheer and just doesn’t pack enough punch for a night moisturizer. I consistently woke up in the mornings with kinda dry skin.

Usually, when I wear a great moisturizer I wake up with baby-ass soft skin. I mean my face is seriously butter smooth. I would much rather prefer to spend half the money on a moisturizer that works than on one that just has a bunch of hype behind it (I’m not talking thick, greasy moisturizers either). Hell, Oil of Olay makes awesome day and night moisturizers. And get this – you think these large companies have ‘low-end’ products? Think again. They have such large R&D departments with the $moola$ to make really great quality products.  So the bigger the company and longer they’ve been around, take notice.
