Crows feet. Size 5.

I have just spent a very enjoyable fortnight in North Wales.  Snowdonia operates an idiosyncratic micro climate all of its own, which means you can be basking in the sun one minute and running screaming from hailstones like tennis balls bouncing off your sun hat the next.  One simply never knows.  Packing is therefore a somewhat laborious procedure as it has to cover every eventuality.  If anyone had checked my luggage it would have appeared that I was doing a moonlight flit from secure accommodation, but I cared not a jot.

The one thing I did forget (and it's never anything belonging to anyone else;  I am far too much of a martyr to allow anyone else to go without) was my sunglasses.  I remembered halfway up the M3 and thought 'oh, sod it.  It's Wales, in August. I am really, really not going to need them.'  And then the sun blazed down on me for days and I developed ravine-like crows feet from squinting up mountains and at sparkling seas.

Luckily, on my return Elemis took pity on me and sent some Eye Serum to try.  Just a few drops are needed, above and below the eye, and it's a remarkably soothing treatment.  Smells clean, absorbs very quickly, and certainly has taken away some of the squintiness.  The lines appear to have faded and when I am tired, I look less tired than I feel which makes a pleasant change.  Also it is bliss to apply when I stop gawping at my computer screen, take my lenses out, and potter off to bed.
