Banish those under-eye bags and dark circles with Vichy's new Aqualia Thermal Eyes €17.50. This fab new product comes on the foot of the launch of Aqualia Thermal UV, a daily moisturiser with wide spectrum protection against daily effects of UVA & UVB and just like the moisturiser, will appeal to women of all ages. The great new product is a hydrofrost gel with liquid crystals to hydrate the eye contour area and help reduce the appearance of dark circles. It also contains Escin to promote circulation and Dextran to reduce swelling. Combined they help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and the intensity of dark circles. And just incase you thought you were too young to start using eye cream, keep in mind that it is common mis-conception is thinking that the little lines under your eyes that occur in your 20s are early wrinkles: these are in fact de-hyration lines and the best way to combat these are to replenish the skin with moisture: drink plenty of water and use a re-hydrating eye cream. Available from pharmacies across Cork. 3. Dazzle the crowds with Mac's luscious new Dazzleglass lip colour. This fab new lip glass illuminates lips, adding a touch of glamour and sparkle to your look whether you are dressing up or down. It also makes lips appear fuller, plumper and deeper.
