    you put cucumbers on your eyes or you are suppose to rub lemon or something like that on them but i would go with the first option.

    Obviously getting a good nights sleep is vital. But it sounds like you have a busy lifestyle and that isn't always an option.

    Most eye creams don't work. Certainly not anything that costs $30. Some more expensive ones have some therapeutic benefits.

    However, I recommend using Hemaroid cream and applying it very liberally under the eyes while you sleep. It sounds gross, but it does work. Any cheap brand is fine for this.

    Place two teaspoons in cold ice water for as long as you can-the colder/icier the better :) you can even stick 'em in the freezer overnight too (before you submerge them in cool water) then place one spoon over each eye/eye bag and leave until it starts to become remotely warm or room temp etc. You can also try buying one of those eye masks but not one with eye holes, freeze it during the day and when you go to sleep place it over your eyes (strap it on) they're available at the body shop or you can try a drug store. Also a deep moisture renewal masque shoudl help. Under eye serums could work, I have the Cindy Crawford eye stuff (i received it for Christmas) and I'll try it out and let you know by e-mail or editing. The body shop also had a vitamin E under eye cream. Products work by trial and error, they work different for everyone. :) good luck and good luck w/ school! :) <3 by the way im proud of you for going to college :)

    "Regular Sleep of 7 to 8 hours, and makeup....foundation will do it. "

    How I did it: When I get tired, I go to sleep. If I have work to do, I'll do it when I wake up. It isn't worth my health. And Makeup.....took forever to find the right foundation shade, but i did it. I use MAC-NC45 or VEra Moore-Honey cream foundation. Concealers are a waste of my money in my mind.

    Lessons & tips: Time management is key. Try not to stay up pass 12. Get a flexible schedule

    Resources: MAC, Vera Moore

  • Well what you should do is study earlier and go to bed around 8 or 9 pm get your eight hours every night.and the bags should go away/there are no cream and no drugs for it.if you have insomnia take a sleeping pill .maybe just one.you don't want to OD do you that is my best advice to you

    sleep more. if that's not possible, trying cucumber slices, revitalizing face cream or getting a big enough pimple that attracts attention away from your eyes might be something to think about.

    Slice a cucumber into slices and place a cucumber slice over each eye

    to prevent puffiness.
