We have talked about how important it is to wear eye cream in our 30s. A Surefire Way to Look Older Sooner. In fact, if you are in your 20s, you are doing yourself a huge favor by starting early. I love Lancome. You may or may not know that. But you have to know, I have never actually purchased an eye cream from Lancome because it is physically difficult for me to shell out that kind of cash right now for a .05 ounce of cream for $65 to over $100! I do however, have a bunch of creams because I take advantage of the free gift, and they always throw a couple in there. But I do know that those free gifts come with a pesky little catch of minimum purchase, and sometimes it is not the cheapest.
So what do you do when you can’t afford department store creams? Are less expensive creams even worth it? And will they even do anything? Here is a list of some great eye creams that can fit into any budget and keep you looking young and beautiful for years to come without breaking the bank.

| Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream |
Thanks so much for this post! It’s a toss up between Olay, Burt’s and Neutrogena as I like all of those brands. Thanks again, this makes me feel much better! :)
Thanks again Alanna. I think I want to try Burt’s. Thanks for the inspiration!
You should try going to http://www.totalbeauty.com and click on “Reviews” Real woman like me & you rate the products on the shelves anywhere from a 1 to a 10. Im always sure to never buy any product under 8.0 And the products are from eye cream to shampoo to hair color- complaints & all…!
I used to pay o much for those brands that did not work. I finally tried ANEW Reversalist by Avon and I look 5 years younger!! You gotta try ANEW.
I like the Olay cream – especially as I can pick it up at the local coles when I do the grocery shopping.
Here is our list of the top beauty buys for when you are in the supermarket.

Those are all great recommendations! Great post foxinflats!
The price of the Somaluxe Triple Collagen Eye Gel so was low – I was thinking it was not going to do much. I have purchased very expensive anti aging cream that didn’t come close to what this product did. Im so glad I tried the Somaluxe Eye Gel because I am a 47 year old woman and was not expecting a miracle. I found myself looking at my face before foundation and thinking that I really didn’t need it.
