Eye Legacy - Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes

Advantages: A great help for puffy eyes.
Disadvantages: None

...A mid life crisis ? - when you wake up in the mornings, take a look in the mirror and discover that you have eyes that look like arrow slits due to water retention then that is a crisis in my books. I never had any problems with puffy eyes until I entered my fifties and then it started with a vengeance. There is nothing that you can do, you just have to wait until the slight swelling starts to disappear but if you have planned to go out early and are waiting to put your make up on it can be a hindrance.

Advantages: Tones skin, nice silky texture, diminishes dark circles

...Review of The Eye of The Needle, a novel by Ken Follett ---The Book--- The Eye of the Needle is the best selling novel from the pen of author Ken Follett. The novel was written in 1977 and became an international best seller. Ken Follett had written other novels, but The Eye of The Needle was his first major success. I am reviewing the paperback edition of the book, ISBN 78-0330354295. Cover price £7.99. The cover depicts the rear view of a man watching a remote house, silhouetted against a stormy sky. The cover is enigmatic and mysterious, that in conjunction with the jacket blurb and knowledge of another novel by the author, is what encouraged me to buy the novel. ---The Plot--- The Eye of The Needle is a gripping crime mystery, set during the second world war. The storyline takes us through the exploits... Read review
