I don’t use eye cream. I know this is a controversial statement for someone about to extoll the virtues of one such product, but hear me out. For the last twenty odd years I have worked for fashion magazines and entertainment news shows, researching, testing and talking about the latest and greatest in fashion and beauty trends. My very first internship out of college was for Canada’s grande dame, Flare magazine, where I had the nirvana-inducing pleasure of organizing the “beauty closet”. (A space approximately the size of my then studio apartment.) In the ensuing years, I’ve had my skin analyzed and worked over by some of the industry’s OG estheticians and have been the privileged, and giddy recipient of whole product lines from the world’s best. Side note: Letting some of these extraordinary gifts expire on my at-home beauty closet shelf is one of my life’s greatest regrets. Ah the hubris of youth.
But I digress. All this is just to say that I KNOW all about eye creams, I just choose not to USE them. Why? Because I’ve never found one compelling enough to convince me to consider adding a step to my already multi-step skincare routine. Until now. When it comes to beauty products, I’m a sucker for three things, effectiveness, a good story and compelling packaging. MUTHA Up All Night Eye Cream boasts all three.
