FFG Beauty: Life changing eye concealer from Sisley Paris

anti-dark circles skin care regime
There comes a point in every woman's life where the best under eye concealer becomes essential. It is sleep. Yeah, that's the best description I'm capable of when it comes to what a great concealer can replicate, and the one thing that needs a bit of assistance as the years roll on. Call it genes, too many late nights or just the general course of aging, but I'm finding that my beauty dollars are now best spent on this secret weapon. And there is one product that works like an weapon of mass destruction when it comes to eliminating any sign of fatigue in the under eye area.

Enter Sisley's Phtyo-Cernes Eclat.... the best under eye solution I have ever used. This is no exaggeration and if you're in the market for such a product, I'd tell you to go straight to the Sisley counter before visiting anywhere else. Everything from application to finished look seems to trump any other product I've ever purchased. I was trying to put a number to how many tubes of under eye concealer I've been through over the years when I realized I have never had a month where I've bought a "repeat" tube. I've always been someone who uses, abuses and finds a new product to test out. I reckon that's seen me go through at least 100 different product ranges over the past decade. So, yes, I consider myself a bit of an expert on this particular beauty savior.

The technical bites:

So what is Sisley Paris Photo-Cernes Eclat?
You know it's not actually marketed as an under eye concealer. It's sold as an anti-dark circles skin care regime. This is a formula created specifically to treat, not jut mask, dark areas under the eye. Surprisingly, I've found it's a one step solution to concealing any extra luggage you may be carrying underneath the eyes. Not only does it cover, it also aids in reducing puffiness, smoothing wrinkles and significantly reducing the size of under eye bags over time. Yes, it's a miracle in a tube.

Now, about the price. It's not cheap. This isn't your drug store purchase. It's £60 pure tube, but it's worth every penny for the look it provides. I feel more awake because I look more awake. Does that make sense? This has become my new shield from feeling like an overworked and under-reseted zombie. And I never like to keep these things a secret. You know me. Spread the word.

Things you need: A Trench Coat





I bought this classic beige mac when I was in Japan last year believe it or not, I can't remember how much it cost or the name of the shop but it's one of my favourite wardrobe pieces. I've been on a seemingly never ending search for a beige and I even pondered getting a Burberry Trench - although, tbh I might still get one! I need to get my butt over to Bicester Village!

Im a believer that everyone needs one of these in their wardrobe. Mixing an old school trench coat even more modern, chic basics really ups the sartorial style factor. Trench coats come back every single season and never seem to go out of fashion. A timeless piece that we never seem to tire of. Definitely make it a key piece in your wardrobe, especially if you crave sophistication and elegance with a air of unpretentiousness. A trench coat is versatile too as you can wear it over casual outfit for everyday occasion or in the evening over elegant dress. It's a good all rounder and an absolute must in my opinion!

Camel coats look awesome looks paired with a all black outfit. It's chic, simple and effortless and incorporating the black and white stripes justs adds a very Lily nod to my look at the same time. Im obsessed with these little shoes from ASOS too. Plain black brogues have always been a staple in my wardrobe but there is something about these ones that seem to barely leave my feet! As I've been really into flat shoes for a while now and after a seemingly never ending stream of trainers and whatnot these have firmly settled as being my current favourites.
