I'm using Origins Ginzing eyecream, it's quite light and I think it has brighteners in it to reduce hte dark shadows. Not very cheap, but does seem to last ages. I've been using my tiny jar for 3 months now.

I don't normally recommend non-naturally blended products as most of them cause me so many problems but the L'Oreal Youth Code eye cream is fantastic.

Really made a difference, I didn't actually realise I had puffy eyes until I had used this for a good week or so, it was quite an unexpected and nice suprize, my eyes look bigger! For that reason alone I will always be looking for an eye cream!

I have used the Origins eye creams (not sure what the names were as this was a sample which I used a while ago) and liked this too but they do cost a bit more then I can afford.

I have not found any other eye cream I liked which was cheaper then the Youth Code but haven't tried that many others (Soap and Glorey eye roll on was nice, irridescent though so its a bit hit and miss for me at times, eg if I have big heavy dark bags its doesn't do me any favors! they need to make a tinted version for super pale skin!)

The Garnier under eye roll on was nice but too dark for my skin tone, even the paler version.

I've tried in the past Boots No.7 eye awakening didn't really do much to help my eye area, just felt too heavy and didn't help with fine lines, caused the odd spot but not as much as the P&P version which is instantly a no for me, I seem to have a reaction to the whole range

All About Eyes by Clinque: liked this, but too expensive for me Glamour did a brilliant promo last month for a free version but couldn't find more then one sample of it and I'm in London: mag shops on every street!

Got given the Philosophy Hope eye cream version as part of a Xmas present but it didn't work for me, too rich and caused spots around my eye as it was too dense and later found out made with petroleum which causes me spots. Lucky I didn't pay for it myself or I'd have been really annoyed!

I'd like to try the new Benefit version but its too pricey, (around £25) also have the new Soap and Glorey (£11) eye cream to try when the L'Oreal I have runs out. Ideally I'd also like try the Aveda version and Bobbi Brown but both are out of my price range.
