 Love it or Leave it: The
Best Eye Creams and the Worst Eye Creams
Our updated list
of the best -- and worst -- under eye creams, gels
and
treatments.
Hope in a jar doesn't come cheaply for those
looking to repair and protect the delicate skin around
their eyes.
From dark circles to
fine lines to under eye puffiness, there are a bevy of
products that promise to turn back the clock, or stop it
all together. But, only a handful of products deliver on
their promises to rejuvenate under eye skin. (And we
should know, we tested 96 eye products in all.) Here's
what you'll want, and what you'll want to walk away
from.
The best and worst eye

 New PrettyCity Spot:
Hush Salon & Spa in Lincoln Park
Like a
perfectly wrapped Frango mint... Chicago Beauties will
find mint green and chocolate accents upon entering Hush
Salon & Spa, but it's the services at this new
destination that are truly scrumptious.
Owner, Carla Alvarado recently bought
the space and turned it into a haven for those in the
know. Clean lines, plush ultra suede couches and a large
flat screen playing classic flicks, such as
Breakfast at Tiffany's, to modern musts, think
Devil Wears Prada, welcome guests.
New offerings include hair services to
die for, nails (no chip manis and pedis), waxing,
facials and beyond. Oh, and here's something about
Hush that you won't want to keep quiet, take
30% off the price of any first time service with the
printable Savings Invitation.

 The Inside Scoop:
One of our editor's gets golden (UV Free) at LA
Tan When summer rolls
around, I can be found in the shade, slathering on the
highest SPF I can find. The truth is, I tan beautifully,
but after summertime nap on the beach a few years ago, I
awoke to the worst sunburn of my life. The tan lines
from that season's swimsuit burned into my back pushed
me from poolside sun worshiper right into Creature of
the Night territory.
A reluctant Nosferatu, I miss my
bronzed days of yore and have yet to master the precise
art of store bought instant tanner application. So when
I heard about L.A. Tan's sunless tanning options, a felt
a renewed golden glimmer of hope.
