Happy Earth Day, dolls! Have I got a Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman rec for you! This one’s been a fave of mine, in the words of Stanford Blatch, since I “took the subway and wore Candie’s.” Obv, I still take the subway, but doesn’t that phrase say it all?
Without further ado: Dr. Hauschka Eye Contour Day Balm ($52) is my Mr. Big of eye creams. It was actually my very first eye cream.
Fun Fact: my recommendation of this line-smoothing, deeply hydrating cream to the now defunct Jane magazine beauty blog garnered me a shout-out of thanks from beauty editor Celia Ellenberg. This actually proved pivotal in my lifestyle; it spawned my confidence that I should be educating the masses about beauty recommendations and I started BBJ shortly thereafter.
Be warned: the stuff is a smidge waxy in texture (it’s made with beeswax) and is Nickelodeon yellow. But don’t fret. It looks and feels like a dream. Most of all, it does the damn job. Cocoa butter and jojoba oil soothe dehydrated eye areas whilst imparting a dewy bit of sheen. The sheen is my favorite part. I think it should be requisite of ALL eye creams.
I love this stuff so much, I referenced it even in a nonbeauty related article I wrote.

Hi Brianne!
DEFINITELY try it out. But, it’s actually no longer sold at Sephora. 🙁 You can, however, get it at Whole Foods or online.
Hey Amber, great suggestion. I’m going to give it a try next time I’m in Sephora (most likely tomorrow ’cause I’m addicted!). Love the fact that there’s a “sheen.” Thanks for the tip!
Hi Jenna! Thanks so much. No writer can hear that ENOUGH. I do wish it weren’t so expensive. It actually escalated in price from $35 to a whopping $52, which is unfortunate. They sell it at Whole Foods now, perhaps you could get a coupon? Or, check eBay!
I really liked your nonbeauty related article! You are a very good writer. Though I’m sure you are told that all the time. That eye cream does very sound appealing. Maybe when the economy gets better/I graduate from law school, I’ll give it a try.
