    Does anyone have magic cream or something to reduce my under eye bags?

    More sleep is not an option ....:(

    I use that garnier roll on stick - it has caffiene in it, and just feels refreshing, not too sure if it actually works though lol! Or I put some teaspoons in the fridge and then put them under my eyes - always helps to wake me up :) x

    That Garnier stuff is nice. Have you considered bum cream, such as Preparation H? It's supposed to be magic! Have to say I haven't tried it myself, I have the dark circles but not the bags so I haven't had the opportunity x

    I *always* have dark circles. Nothing takes them away. No amount of sleep, iron tablets help a little but they are always always there - anyone got any magic remedies to get rid of these???

    I have dark circles and can't get rid of them so i cover them up! Boots number 7 instant radiance concealer is BRILLIANT! i's about £13.00 but well worth it and lasts ages. It's a clicky bottomed pen type thing that has a brush on the end then you just blend it in. Aldi does a similar one that is also good. X

    I use clinique high impact mascara. I went into boots just after Christmas and they do all different box sets. The one I bought (purely for the mascara) had a roll on stick called 'all about eyes serum'. Its AMAZING!!! Im not sure how much it is to buy individually, as i bought the box set, but I would defo recommend it. x

    I use this too!
    That £13 pen probably lasts me 9 months to a year and I use it EVERY DAY!


    I've heard that models use haemorrhoid cream (obv a fresh tube, not one that's been anywhere near a bummy finger), as it contracts the blood vessels around the eye area or something like that.

    I've also heard that dark shadows and eye bags are linked to dehydration (skin is less elastic), so make sure you drink plenty of water.
