You beauty! Institut Esthederm’s Repair System Eye Contour Lift Patches

The last ten minutes of a long-haul flight are dull. The ‘entertainment system’ has been disabled. As have iPads and laptops. You’re too jaded to chat and too scratchy to read, and you’re wondering whether your luggage is on the same plane as you and whether the cab driver will have heard of your hotel and if your shampoo/nail varnish/hairspray has exploded. Again.

Yes, the last ten minutes of the flight are the worst. There is a feeling of neither here nor there; too late to turn back but with the prospect of baggage carousels and power-crazed immigration maniacs to go. So, creatures, use the time. Buy yourself back some beauty after hours of recycled air and grubbiness and dehydration.

Institut Esthederm’s Repair System Eye Contour Lift Patches are cellular water-infused slivers of moisture to put back in what the journey has sucked out. Five minutes is all it takes. The lights are low for landing and everyone is strapped in, so it’s not even that embarrassing.

And when you hit the Tarmac, off they come and off you go. No excess eye baggage. All youthful. I use them post-sunbathing, pre-dinner, too, and find them to be more bag’n’shadow-busting than under-eye concealer, which nestles into lines you didn’t even know were there and becomes even more baffling to blend as you tan. Teeny little things, these patches. Banging results, though.
