Baggy to Blissful
Bliss: Baggage Handler – $28 US
“This lightweight eye treatment is hands (and bags) down your best bet for fighting persistent puff (or temporary post-party peeper-fatigue). Cucumber and cornflower extracts and fine line-whittling wheat proteins reduce incumbent wrinkles, leaving you looking bright-eyed (even when you feel bushed).”
Average Rating on Sephora: 4.5/5
I LOVE BAGS!!!! Designer bags… shopping bags… and hobo bags, that is.
Santa never seems to listen to me {or maybe I’m just too naughty}. So instead of discovering a Marc Jacobs bag under the tree for Christmas each year, I ‘m stuck with major EYE bags hanging on to my face…. not for one day a year, but for every day of the year. Every. Year.
Not to mention, I got two of them. Last time I checked, I only asked for one.
Here’s the story… I’ve had under eye bags since as long as I can remember and I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m just going to look like shit every morning and receive ‘Awww you look tired’ comments on a regular basis. { Don’t tell a girl she looks tired. That’s just a nicer way of saying ‘you look like shit.‘ }
I started using Bliss Baggage Handler two months ago. I’ve heard great reviews about the product and it was recommended to me by an awesomely cool guy at Sephora. Haay! It comes in a clear light weight gel that’s easy to apply and has as soothing, fresh feeling to it. It works to remove puffiness under the eye and is also suppose to have long term effects – that’s what I’m starting to see. The gel contains elements that work to drain water, decreasing puffiness and also tightens the skin so that once the water is drained, you’re not left with saggy skin. Sounds pretty good to me. Next time you’re at Sephora, get yourself a sample!
It hasn’t completely removed my under eye bags – mine are pretty heavy. But for people that it’s only a minor issue for, I’ll bet it works wonders! I’ve tried a lot of products that claim to decrease puffy eyes…. yeah yeah, you liars.
How do you treat under eye bags?
XO,
I have under-eye bags too.. except I don’t really give a crap about them. I’m too lazy to research remedies and good serums for it. They’re not as bad now as they were when I was in school though!
oo this is nice! i need these b/c im the biggest insomniac! how much is this?
uhhh.. don’t hate me but i dont treat under eye bags cus.. well i dont have any. or at least i dont think i do. omg! maybe i do and all this time i was unaware!!! eeeeeK! okay anyways… totally with you on the “you look tired” comment! i hate that! i mean what are you supposed to say back to them? “ohhh .. yeah…. thanks”? fake laugh? “yeah.. i know… now go away” ???
I have terrible under eye circles -_-; I’ve tried a bunch of stuff to no avail *sigh* I’ll have to keep researching!
Too be honest I am really bad about treating my eye bags, but this looks like a great product. Thanks for sharing darlin!
Unfortunately, I have BIG bags too.
I never did, until I became addicted to reading blogs, thus staying up late.
Ive been too lazy to do anything about it though.. I just cover them up with good ol’ concealer.
But, this product sure sounds like the cure. I will definitely check it out next time Im at Sephora.
Hey, so my friend has been using a product from Arbonne to target her eyebags and apparently it works really well. She has noticed results after 2 days of use. The NutriMinC Re REpair, corrective eye creme, it’s in the anti-aging line but we’re aging constantly anyways. Let me know if you want more info. =)
Most eye creams do one of three things: 1. attempt to de-puff; 2. attempt to de-shadow (part of which is created by puffiness, part of which is blue/gray colouring under eyes); and/or 3. attempt to de-wrinkle the sensitive, sometimes crepey skin under eyes.
You’re too young to be crepey, and likely too young to have discolouration, but you can have eye bags from birth, pretty much. Some people have them because bags are in their genes, some because of allergies/irritation, and others because they’ve had not enough sleep, too much salt or alcohol, etc. (usually it’s a combination of the two. :)
I had eye bags when I was little, and I still get them often now (especially in the morning, or during allergy season.) I’ve used everything under the sun to try and get rid of them (Origins No Puffery, the MAC eye cream with caffeine, Clinique All About Eyes, Benefit’s de-puffer with the wand, Caudalie Eye and Lip, Fresh Lotus Eye Gel, the Garnier eye roller thingy, Bliss Triple Oxygen Eye Mask, and stuff from Dr. Hauschka, Lancome, Kiehls, Aveda, Clarins, Estee Lauder, Roc, La Roche Posay… you name it.)
Here’s what works, in my experience: multiple splashes of cold water first thing in the morning, a Vichy gel roll-on de-puffer with vitamin C, followed up with a peptide + retinol cream (using one by Roc right now.) This hits every major point that needs hitting. Also, cut down on salt, drink two glasses of water for every drink of alcohol in your day, and meticulously remove every speck of eye makeup before you go to sleep at night.
How’s that for an essay? :)
santa is so LAME for doing this….right hahaha
good old tea bags or cucumbers do the trick for me. maybe it’s coz you’e going to sleep too late?
i’ve got the worst eye bags, but also the worst skin allergies.. I’ve tried two eyecreams, philosophy eye hope and clinique. They both made my skin red, itchy, flaky, peely and worse than before. The puffiness went away with clinique, but it wasn’t worth the side effects…I’ve just given up on eye creams now..
I’m just using the Garnier rolling on thing for about a month now and I see some de-blackness of the eye cause I don’t seem to use as much concealer under my eyes now. But I bet this product will help out depuffing eyes a lot! The girl earlier who mentioned Vichy, I think I’m gonna try that one! At shoppers this girl said Vichy is a really good brand, it’s more medicinal kind of cosmetic and it’s under Lancome but more affordable in a sense? I have this bi-white face cleanser from Vichy supposed to even out the pigments of my skin and it seems to be working (and its tested on Asian skin btw!) Let me know how this one goes later on!! =)
i just use concealer to hide my bags.
i might try this eyebag gel, sweetie.
p.s thanks for adding me to your blog roll.

”favorite dishes”.
see you around, sweetie!
awww someone very nice must have bought this for you! I only know one person that nice… oh yes, it’s me=)
Well i guess i’m definitely going to have to get me a sample of that to try. My left eye seems to be the one carrying more of the baggage between to two. . .so as longs as I can even it out. . .then i’ll be good. hahah
