The Cultured Girl

As recently as age 25, I could stay up all night while consuming massive amounts of alcohol and still look perky the next day. Now, give me two gin-and-tonics and 5 hours sleep, and the dark circles under my eyes suggest that I’ve just spent a week traveling by Greyhound bus.  That is why I now swear by Origins’ No Puffery cooling eye gel. I just dab a tiny bit under each eye after a rough night; it tames the puffiness and the haggardness, and the icy sensation wakes me up. A tiny bottle goes for $20, but it will last six months to a year, depending on how much you overindulge.
