Ugh, waking up in the morning is a drag. Puffy under eyes and sometimes dark circles – ew! And the most common culprits probably aren't the ones you think they are. Let's take a look.

As women, we want our mascara to be a macho man -- thick, long, long-lasting, conditioning and waterproof. Okay, maybe that was the wrong metaphor but regardless, we expect a lot out of our mascara but we might not be doing our part in meeting our partner half way.

Here are a few helpful hints to get the best show out of your favorite mascara.

My eyes suffer through self-inflicted abuse daily: staring into the computer screen, late nights out, sleeping in my contacts, not getting enough sleep, and day-to-day stress. So when I get a chance to pamper my peepers I go for it.

Skyn Iceland "Solutions for Stressed Skin" sent me some eye care goodies to take for a test drive. They sent over their Eye Clinic kit, which included a pair of Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels and a container of Relief Cream; these two little products were supposed to take me to under eye bliss. I have to say, Skyn delivered. I couldn't have been happier with the results.

The first step to under eye bliss was the Hydro Cooling Firming Eye Gels. This intensive treatment helps firm, de-puff, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and most importantly it distresses (at least it did for me). The product was simple to use, just peel off the backing and apply to the under eye area for 10 minutes.

Step two is the Relief Cream. I love products where you can feel them working, the cream tingled moments after application which felt amazing. The cream de-puffs, diminishes lines and dark circles by simply patting a small amount under the eye twice a day. There is no funky residue and it doesn't mess with your makeup either.
