Clarins Ombre Matte in Grey Sparkle.

A new cream-to-powder texture that offers the comfort and smoothing effect of a cream with the fine quality and hold of a powder. Silky and lightweight, these eyeshadows are comfortable and easy to apply. A smoothing, mattifying and long-lasting formula that glides over the eyelid and blends evenly into the skin upon application. 

A perfect base for a Gorgeous smokey eye for a night out or sorry here goes.. A stunning Christmas look! The shadow blends beautifully over the eye lid and stops eye shadow creasing throughout the day/night. I love this shade it really makes my blue eyes pop.. I imagine it would work great with all eye colours alone or as a base, the Ombre Matte range comes in 6 or more shades which are more matte if that's your thing, but I love a bit of sparkle for a night out.

They retail for around £19.00 from most department or online beauty stores.

Kiehls Midnight Recovery Eye

A superb companion to Midnight Recovery Concentrate, Midnight Recovery Eye helps to improve skin's appearance around the eye. With the same naturally derived ingredients as Midnight Recovery Concentrate, as well as Butcher’s Broom, this night treatment leaves under-eye skin feeling replenished. Midnight Recovery Eye’s cream texture is specifically formulated for the delicate eye area. 

It improved the look of my dark circles pretty much over night, It's absorbs quickly with little effort, you only need a tiny amount each night. Value for money due to the miniscule amount required nightly. It is a light weight, hydrating treatment that just transformed my tired, puffy eyes into youthful, fresh eyes like I've had 14 hours sleep! It really is a great product, I think it works amazingly well with Kiehls midnight Recovery concentrate together they are a dream team..

The tube is 15ml and sells for £24.50 with I think is about average for a high end brand, if you suffer from dark circles, dry or puffy eyes, you need to get a sample and try this.. You won't regret it! Kiehls is such a great brand..once I finish this I want to try the Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream, it sounds fantastic!

Our proprietary ActiveSoil Complex represents a new generation of active minerals with extraordinary skin-renewing benefits, including faster cell turnover and helping to protect against environmental stressorsProven to reveal brighter, smoother, younger-looking skin and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. I Love how quickly the cream is absorbed, leaving my skin feeling soft and fresh, I haven't been using bareMinerals Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream* that long but I can already see a difference in the skin around my eyes. I'm sure that this is helping and I'm positive that with longer use I will see a marked improvement.

As the cream is thick I tend to use this at night, but I have used during the day when I was looking a little extra tired due to a late night & my foundation went over it perfectly and stayed put, so it could definitely be use for both day & night, but at the moment I am using another day eye cream up. This sells for £23.00 which is about average for a good eye cream, it should also last a while as you only need a tiny amount. bareMinerals have free delivery at the moment, use code XMAS1 at the checkout.

Lily Lolo Molten Bronze Eye Shadow Quad

Limited Edition Pressed Eye Shadow Quad, containing a peachy sheen to highlight, antique gold and bronze to frame the eyes and shimmering black to use as an eyeliner which when combined ooze sophisticated glamour.

   

The shadows contain Jojoba oil, which helps to nourish and moisturise. They are long lasting, I'd say it stayed on for about 6-7 hours without creasing. I loved how light weight the formula is, It felt like I wasn't wearing any. Easy to blend and you are able to build the cover up if you are looking for a day to night palette, the shades are really flattering for all eye colours.

I'd not tried shadows before from Lily Lolo but have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and overall finish of the Molten Bronze Quad* , I will definitely like to try more products from this brand in the future. The quad sells for around £18.99 which I don't think is too bad for a mineral product and you get four shadows.
