2012 BellaSugar Australia Beauty Awards: Vote For the Best Eye Product

Sarah Macrae — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 09:37:31 EST

We don't want much from our eye products. Just a little de-puffing, fixing of dark circles, brightening, concealing and maybe helping us fake a few extra hours sleep. That's not too much to ask is it? Luckily it isn't with these crop of recent releases. The trouble is, which one is so good that it's going to be crowned Best Eye Product in the 2012 BellaSugar Australia Beauty Awards? Will it be Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Intense Moisture and Renewal Regeneration Eye Cream which helps to strengthen the delicate skin around the eye area as well as reducing the appearance of puffiness, dark circles and crows feet, Aveeno Positively Radiant Eye Illuminator which features vitamin B3 and light diffusion technology to help your eyes look fresh and, Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make Up Corrector Pen, a precision-point eye makeup remover pen, Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye, a fragrance-free product that targets fine lines, under-eye circles and puffiness or Lancôme Rénergie Multiple Lift Volumetry Yeux Eye Duo which features a firming and de-puffing cream as well as an illuminating concealer?
