Rogue Lifting, Brightening Eye Serum

I may get sued to kingdom come for this post but hey, worth a punt and it made me laugh as I watched the most epic electrical storm ever (if you missed the midnight sky in Harrogate on 1 July you missed an awesome display of he powers of the gods - whoever you pray to)……so roll on the letters before action….

Today I will be talking (when not rambling) about Rogue Lifting, Brightening Eye Serum.

So, in a slight reworking of the brilliant ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen….

Each morning I get up I die a little (when I look at the under eye bags)
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry (at the size of the eye baggage)
Lord what you're doing to me (and my eyes)
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief (from these dark rings),
Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me, an eye cream to love?

OK, so at £32 for a 10ml tube this immediately put me in frugal man mode. That seems expensive for not a lot of product so I had high hopes, assuming that if it costs a bomb for very little only a little would be needed and it would firm and lift the area around my eyes.  

So what do the company say about this rogue of an eye cream? Well in true and lazy fashion you can read it all here.

So, onto application – after having a bit of a boozy (read slaughtered) weekend I have to say that at the start of the week I was looking peaky, a bit fatigued around the eyes and generally like I had been dead for a good few years. I was giving Skelator (for those old enough to remember the He-Man cartoons) a good run for his money in terms of looking rough. 

A few dabs of the serum under my eyes after showering and I was ready to go - well actually I went nowhere, I loitered around the mirror for a good half an hour to see if I could tell the difference….

At first there was a tingling sensation, the colouring of the area under my eyes had lightened considerably over the space of ten minutes and then within half an hour I could feel my eyes opening wider as the skin became tighter. Nice one, nice one….

An hour after applying and my eyes looked positively radiant - the skin was so tight even the fine lines had gone (for a good 8 hours), the colour resembled ‘alive’ and the bags had reduced in size by I would say, around 80%. You really can’t argue with that.

Far from being a rogue this stuff is actually quite brilliant. Thankfully I got mine as a PR sample, I think the price would have originally put me off buying this, but, the results speak for themselves, this is a top notch eye lift serum. A little does go a very long way and it cranks up even my tired old eyes after a heavy weekend. 

Go on treat yourself or your other half.

Truffle Noir by Temple Spa

Well, I did say in a recent post that my blog would be entering Temple Spa season and I have no intention on deviating from this until my mind is distracted by something that shines or some brightly coloured flashing lights. Today, and after a using it over twenty days I will be giving my thoughts on Truffle Noir, billed as a nocturne facial rejuvenator by Temple Spa. 

Will I wake up looking like I did in 2004 (yes, I know, a shameless and random excuse to insert a picture of me looking much younger)? Read on….. 

Truffle Noir is the second Temple Spa product sent to me to sample. I have already written about their Way To Go Cleansing Wash Gel here and considering how much I liked that, this one had a lot to live up to. While different products, I was blown away by the quality and high hopes.

This is what Temple Spa say about Truffle Noir:

'Truffle Noir, particularly designed to do night duty on your skin while you sleep. We combined brilliant science with turbo charged ingredients to create a luxury formula that repairs, restores and renews. The texture is amazing and with the addition of Happybelle-PE (happiness in a jar) you really will look great in bed!

For men, Truffle Noir has a handsome satin-matte finish on the skin being ideal for their daytime regime; it has all the rejuvenating benefits of Skin Truffle, yet without the diamond lustre.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Anti-ageing, long term benefits
• Instant aesthetic benefits – gives a clear, radiant, ‘happy’ and toned complexion
• Slows down the development of fine lines and wrinkles
• Repairs cell and tissue damage
• Strengthens thin or fragile skin
• Restores elasticity, boosts collagen
• Renews firmness, suppleness and smoothness
• Supports the fundamental changes in our skins behaviour at night, working with the body’s natural rhythm
• Helps the skin ‘help itself’ by promoting its natural ability to replenish
• Easily absorbed, non-greasy formula
• Leaves skin feeling soft and plump, with a satin-matte finish
• Calms razor burn or skin irritations'

Any regular reader will know that I don’t like the area around my eyes. I have used a range of things to try and eliminate the bags, change the colour to look as though I’m actually alive etc. I’ve been using Clarins Eye Revitaliser for the bags, but Truffle Noir was going to be handy in trying to reduce the lines (read crows feet) around my eye and eyebrow (it’s a proper Mancunian mono-brow)

I have been using a 5ml sample on and off when my eyes have needed a boost over the last couple of weeks and the difference in and around my eyes is incredible. The tube is now coming to the end of its life, but when you consider that a 50ml jar of this costs £85 here, what do you get for the money and would I go out and buy it myself?

Well rather than blast you with lots of cunning facts, the simple truth is that this works as the pictures below show. The left was taken after a bad night of sleep, the picture on the right fifteen minutes after applying Truffle Noir. The images speak for themselves.

Yes, this is expensive, but you only need a tiny amount of it to smooth over those fine lines around your eyes and they stay gone all day. The colouring around the eye improves, and instead of looking like an extra from The Walking Dead, my eyes genuinely feel more awake, and wider (it’s a weird sensation at first).

So what worked for me? 

Anti-ageing, long term benefits - over a few weeks the darkness has reduced 
Instant aesthetic benefits – yes, eyes do look and feel much better
Renews firmness, suppleness and smoothness - the skin does look smoother
Easily absorbed, non-greasy formula - yes, it is absorbed quickly
It does leave skin feeling soft and plump, with a satin-matte finish

This is one I would recommend, I use it during the day to pep up my eyes, but the results are equally as impressive in the morning when applied just before bed. Great stuff, and worth the money for the results.

Bye bye tired eyes....
