I’m still a devoted fan of Shu Uemura, despite the fact that it’s no longer available in the US. And while I greatly miss popping into Barney’s or the Shu boutique to stock up, I now rely on my PR contacts to keep tabs on what’s new and order online when it’s time to replenish. This little secret weapon arrived on my doorstep about a month ago, along with a selection of other “ultimate eye essentials.” The set included their new ultimate natural mascara, cult-fave eyelash curler, new lash builder serum and this roll away instant eye fatigue career. I have a 3 year old, a two month old, this fabulous + fun website and I own a social media agency, so this fatigue-fighting product was a welcome addition to my beauty arsenal. In fact, after the first application, I stashed it in an easy access pocket of my handbag to make sure it’s always within reach. I use it at least twice a day, sometimes more if I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and notice tired-looking eyes. Designed to nix puffiness and dark circles, the red phyto-ingredients (Amalaki, Pomegranate, Lycopene Capsule) and metallic roller ball applicator utilize traditional Shiatsu massage methods. It also cools the temperature around the eye area for an instant refresher. I’m totally hooked.
