We test three of the best eye-creams to counteract bags as hayfever season kicks in
MY hayfever has been worse than ever this year. Itchy, watery eyes has left my skin sore and puffy, so I've been on the hunt for a great eye-cream to counteract my bags. Advertisement 5 We tested three of the best eye-creams to counteract bags These are three of the best. BUDGET 5 BYOMA De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel gives you a lot of product for the price Credit: Supplied BYOMA De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel, £13 for 20ml, The gel consistency of this eye cream takes the heat out of my irritated eyes without the need for a metal applicator. It's the thickest of the three, and takes a bit longer to sink in, but I don't mind that as it feels super-hydrating and soothing, thanks to the combination of ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid – and it hasn't caused any milia which can sometimes happen if I use overly rich products. For the price, you're getting a lot of product, and I can imagine it would take the best part of a year to get through the bottle, which is incredible value for money . Advertisement READ MORE ON BEAUTY MID-RANGE 5 Sculpted By Aimee Brighten Up Energising Eye Cream is my go-to Credit: Supplied Sculpted By Aimee Brighten Up Energising Eye Cream, £26 for 10ml, I've never seen a beauty product with packaging which combines a pump to keep the formula as potent as possible for longer, and a metal applicator that can be used to massage the eye area. It also has a special thin wand, which makes easy work getting into the inner corners. One pump is plenty to cover both eyes, so a little goes a really long way, and the lightweight formula – which contains tightening caffeine and soothing niacinamide, alongside peptides, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, doesn't feel heavy or greasy. Advertisement It's my go-to. Most read in Fabulous LUXURY 5 Murad Targeted Eye Depuffer has an immediate tightening effect and the most dramatic results Credit: Supplied Murad Targeted Eye Depuffer, £64 for 15ml, There's strict instructions that come with this cream, telling me it must be tapped around the eyes rather than rubbed in, which feels counter-intuitive given the metal applicator, so you miss out on most of the immediate cooling effect. Other than that, it's faultless. Amino acids tone the skin, while vitamin C brightens and glycerin hydrates, and light-reflecting pigments help disguise dark circles and puffiness for smooth-looking skin in the short-term. Advertisement When your hay fever symptoms could really be signs of cancer It has an immediate tightening effect and the most dramatic results. PICK OF THE WEEK 5 Lush has launched a whopping 30 new bath bombs Credit: Supplied TODAY is World Bath Bomb Day (niche, I know – but any excuse to pamper myself!) and to celebrate, Lush has launched a whopping 30 new bath bombs featuring favourites, new products and fun collaborations, such as a Blueberry Matcha Oat Latte bath bomb, £6.50 and an out-of-this-world E.T. bath bomb, £9.50. Plus, if you buy a bath bomb today, you get Butterball, one of Lush's original bath bombs, for 95p, the price it was in 1995.

Lush 95p Butterball bath bomb - taking baths back to 1995
The first bath bomb I ever bought was from Lush - or possibly from the company before - Cosmetics To Go. As a teenager in the 90s, cruelty-free, quirky bath and body products were few and far between. So, when a catalogue of great products arrived I'd send over a cheque with my hard-earned pocket money I'd stock up. When I saw the deal - alongside the other 30 bath bombs they have put out to mark their birthday - I couldn't resist getting some to try, with my kids - a new generation of Lush fans - to see if we could bring back 1995 one bath at a time... So, how good can a Lush 95p bath bomb really be? The answer, we found, is pretty spectacularly good. While not the biggest or the sparkliest, Butterball (usually £3) is a brilliant bath bomb that leaves skin sweet-scented and silky soft. While my daughters Bea and Lizzie love the more dramatic and unusual designs of Lush's weird and wonderful bath bomb collection, they also loved this perfectly simple little white offering, that's soothing for sensitive skin, with its pieces of Fair Trade organic cocoa butter. We tried it in a bowl to see it close up, before pouring the whole lot into the bath and topping up with warm water. The whole room was filled with a comforting vanilla fragrance and the super-moisturising cocoa butter melted into the water perfectly. @uktoday_ We tried the Lush butterball bath bomb, down to 95p for a super limited period to mark its 30th anniversary. These testers said it was awesome - here's why… ♬ Ready - Official Sound Studio Would you buy it again? Yes, I wish I'd bought 10. For 95p (and actually for £3) it's a great deal. It's worth noting that the offer is available in stores only, and until stocks last - I suspect they will fly out, so be quick. Obviously, you have to buy another bath bomb to get the deal, but that's no hardship - apart from choosing which one to buy. Here's the full list of 30. The ones below are the ones we chose (my favourite is the Supermilk - usually a hair product, and my favourite Lush scent of all time). Moonshine bath bomb (£6) (Image: Jade Wright) This was the girls' favourite as it's so pretty. The golden sun and blue moon merge together for a gorgeous green soak. Super Milk bath bomb (£7) (Image: Jade Wright) Lush's best-selling Super Milk is now available as a bath bomb for World Bath Bomb Day. This viral scent is a blend of creamy coconut milk powder and sweet almonds. Celebrate 30 Bathbomb (£5) (Image: Jade Wright) Pop the champers open and celebrate with the scent of uplifting Brazilian orange and zesty lime oil in the shape of the big 30. Recommended reading: About World Bath Bomb Day Lush was first awarded the trademark for bath bombs on 27th April 1990 after being invented by Lush Co-founder and Product Inventor, Mo Constantine in her shed in 1989. Although previously unknown, the term 'bath bomb' is now so widely adopted it has been added to the Oxford Dictionary and has become a global sensation. All hand-pressed in Lush's own manufacturing sites across the world, Lush sold over 40.5 million last year (that's 48 sold every minute). I didn't buy them all, but sometimes it feels like it.
