Good Golly it’s a Giveaway!

***Time’s Up! Thanks to Random.org, the winner of the Instant De-Puff Eye Gel is commenter #29… Beth! Shoot an email to me Beth, lisa@take90west.com and I’ll get your eye gel in the mail so you can start de-puffing!***

If you are anything like me, you have more than one tube or jar of eye cream open and half used.

And if you are a whole lot like me, you wake up in the morning with puffy eyes that make you look as though you had a pretty hard night the night before. Only no, it wasn’t because you threw a few too many back at the town tap, it’s because you probably stayed up late helping little Joey with his science fair project, walked your sweet baby girl back to bed after a bad dream more times than you can count on one hand and had to rise early to do a morning clothes hunt to ensure your family is getting out the door for the day unwrinkled AND with matching socks on.

But if that’s just me then y’all are some lucky, and organized, chicks.

So when I wake up in the morning, THE PUFF, it is unavoidable. My eyes are puffy and swollen every single morning. It is awful. And as much as I’d love an unlimited plastic surgery budget, it just ain’t happening, so I make do with my assortment of lotions and potions.

There aren’t too many products that I use all the way to the bottom of the jar because a newer, better product always seems to land in my lap.

I was in Bath and Body Works a few months ago shopping for a Christmas gift and I couldn’t help but overhear a conversation one of the sales clerks was having with a gentleman. Apparently, the man was having some allergy problems and was suffering from puffy eyes.

So naturally, he ended up at Bath and Body Works? I guess so.

It’s pretty obvious this man was not my husband.

The clerk recommended Instant De-Puff Eye Gel by Patricia Wexler. She said, and I quote, “This stuff is magic.”

Well, as soon as I heard magic, my ears perked up and I had to check out this said magical product. Because my beauty regime could always use a healthy dose of magic. For real.

And because I am an impulse buyer, and it was magic, I picked up a little tube for myself.

And y’all?

The sales clerk did not tell a lie.

Ms. Patricia Wexler? Girlfriend is a genius.

And her Fastcription Instant De-Puff Eye Gel?

‘Tis magic.

See for yourself.

And please keep in mind that these photos are taken BEFORE makeup. And brow pencil. And caffeine. So pretty much before I would go out in public, yet here I am putting them up on the Interweb.

Before

Then…

After

DSC05136 by you.

Now. Please tell me you all can see that. Right? In the after shot I do believe I have an actual lower eyelid showing along with a less swollen upper eyelid, where in the before shot? Not so much. I’m not imagining that right?

Patriciat Wexler Instant De-Puff Eye Gel sells for 19.50 at Bath and Body Works.

But today, one of you can win a tube for free just by leaving a comment on this post! I know! How great is that? Thank you Bath and Body Works for helping to rid our mornings of ALL THE PUFFY one little tube of magic at a time.

So leave a comment, and next Thursday I’ll use Random.org to pick a winner. Couldn’t be an easier than that.

Now, forget you ever saw any ol’ pictures of all my puff, and carry on with your day.
