eye spy

I recently blogmitted (get it? Blogmitted? Admitted on my blog? I'm so freaking clever.) that I have some heavy baggage and wrinkles under my eyes. I think it's the result of genetics, asthma (and related pharmaceuticals) and not-so-clean living in my twenties. OK, ok, in my thirties, too. Anyway, I've recently become annoyed enough about the situation to actually try to do something about it.

In conjunction with a recent order from Sephora, I was sent a sample of StriVectin Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler. I want your input. Based on the photos below, did it do anything for me?

Before:



After:




So, what do you think?

My thought? It didn't do $59 worth of wrinkle-filling. I think I see a little difference, but it's negligible.

Does anyone out there have any products they like for this kind of thing? Or any products they LOVE and can't live without? I'd appreciate any recommendations.

So would Lola. She was sitting in this box wondering what the hell I was doing when I was taking all these photos of my right eye. She would appreciate recommendations for anything that would reduce my crazy factor.





P.S. Note the part in my eyebrow. I can't tell you how much aggravation that little feature has caused me throughout my life. Seriously, look at those hairs grow toward the middle of my head. So stupid.

i see a some improvement on the corner of your eye, but maybe not so much underneath? and i have these exact same issues for similar reasons. smoking up until a couple of years ago didn't help me much either. i'll have to watch and see if anyone comments with good suggestions, but unfortunately i don't have any for you!

My friends swear by Benefit Eyecon for dark circles & baggage. I'm not sure how it is for wrinkles. I use Aveda Green science on my eyes, and it seems to be working, but I'm thinking I may just get botox once the price comes down..

Kidding. Kidding.

Not worth the $59 bucks, I think. A couple of people just recommended Facelift In A Bottle. I desperately need SOMETHING to help the haggard face, so I am going on Sephora right now to order.
