Kaley Cuoco Says This Eye Cream Is The Best She’s Ever Used—& It’s 20% Off RN Only

Whether you had a wild night out, consumed a boatload of Shake Shack’s salty crinkle-cut fries, or cried too much during the sixth episode of ‘Squid Game,’ you know what it’s like to have puffy eyes. When it seems like no amount of concealer can fix them, take a page from Kaley Cuoco

The actress revealed her secret to brighter eyes in an interview with Shape and unveiled her all-time favorite de-puffing product that’s shockingly affordable. The Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment is a nutrient-rich skin saver that just so happens to be 20% off at Nordstrom today and tomorrow only.

“I’ve tried so many under-eye creams, but I actually think that’s the best one,” Cuoco said. “When you have under-eye circles, I truly think it makes a difference. Like, I think it actually fills the crevice a little bit.”

The eye cream has these powerful effects thanks to its super soothing formula that consists of avocado oil, beta-carotene, and shea butter. Nobody wants rough texture or dry fine lines under their eyes. Hydrated, smooth, and bright is more of what we like to hear when it comes to the delicate skin beneath our eyes.

We wholeheartedly trust Cuoco’s taste in eye creams, but you might just have to try this moisturizing treatment for yourself. Get it at Nordstrom for 20% off today and tomorrow only. And you might as well pick up a few other Kiehl’s products, since everything from the brand (except for holiday gift sets) is also 20% off right now. 

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado

After staring at screens all day every day and perhaps not getting enough sleep, it makes sense as to why your under eyes might be looking and feeling less than ideal. We’re no rocket scientists, but a nourishing formula like this one is a surefire solution to your skin concerns. 

You’ll see visible results almost instantly after swiping this light green cream under your eyes, according to shoppers. The formula protects your eyes from digital fatigue (a.k.a. blue light), but it also delivers deep hydration with rich ingredients like avocado oil and shea butter. Kiehl’s says it might even help prevent early signs of aging, which is always a bonus for a skincare product. 

Another one of its unique abilities is that it can function as an amazing base for your under-eye makeup, blurring texture—or crevices, as Cuoco puts it. Plus, this cream works for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin, and is free of parabens, fragrance, silicone, mineral oils, and synthetic dyes. 

So many others agree with Cuoco and consider it the best eye cream they’ve ever tried. “I wake up with moisturized and refreshed under-eyes,” says one shopper who gave the product a five-star rating. “Avocado Eye Cream is a necessity for the dry winter months, but truly has become my year-round PM eye option.”

Another shopper calls it their “holy grail” eye cream after years of searching. “I have quite dry and wrinkled under eyes genetically, and many eye creams just settle into the wrinkles, while this doesn’t.”

They added, “Rather, it evens out my under eyes and moisturizes them and keeps them hydrated all day long! It doesn’t separate if rubbed (don’t we all love to rub our eyes) and doesn’t separate when worn with make up.”

At this point, we’re not quite sure what you’re waiting for. Head on over to Nordstrom’s beauty sale, where all Kiehl’s products are 20% off right now (excluding holiday gift sets).

How to Find Happiness by Creating More Space in Your Life After 60

How-to-Find-Happiness-in-Your-Life-After-60

According to Wikipedia, “Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction.”

That is fine in its own way, but I want to explore the space beyond objects and events, deep into our personal spaces, in our heads, between each of us, in our lives.

I love the word ‘boundless’. As I often say, being trapped is the worst thing that can happen to a human being, so ‘space’ naturally appeals to me.

Inner and Outer Space

Inner and outer space exploration have many aspects in common. We need to be prepared for the journey by having confidence in ourselves as it can be both scary and exciting at the same time.

If we can handle it, the weightlessness of drifting in our inner space and looking down on ourselves without judgement through yoga, meditation or religious practice can bring enormous inner peace and growth.

We have all met people who invade our personal space. There is a sort of invisible electric field around each of us and somehow most of us sense this. We let people in close to kiss and hug. For others, this kind of proximity is not appropriate.

Space Barriers

There is also the invisible space in our heads and hearts. Some of us have been so badly hurt that we have closed down completely to relationships with others.

Do you live in a world surrounded by emotional walls? They consume enormous amounts of energy to maintain.

If you do, are these walls still necessary, or are they a habit you have formed over a lifetime? If they are still necessary, is it time to move on and to a better place? So many of us are unconsciously letting the past dictate and spoil our present.

Space to Grow

We all need space, free from controlling influences: children, the older generation, a demanding partner. We may be 60+, but we still need to grow. I loved that one sign I saw the other day, stating, “It is never too late to bloom.”

A tree that is alive will keep on extending its roots and growing new leaves; only when it is dead does it stop developing.

If we are going to live life to the full, having been given this precious gift, we need to start exploring our space, inside and out. Space can be scary, but you never know what you might find and where it might lead you.

Miss Norma

I recently came across the Facebook page Driving Miss Norma, which presents a concrete example of what one lady of 90 did with the space left by the death of her husband and a diagnosis of terminal cancer.

After being widowed, Miss Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer. She was advised to undergo surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Instead of entering the hospital, she hit the road and travelled the country. Miss Norma died at age 91, after one year full of fun and adventure, living life on her terms. Allow yourself to be inspired by Miss Norma.

Thelma and Louise have met their match.

Lorde Wore Her Long Hair Like a Scarf on the Red Carpet

We’ve come to expect quirky-cool red carpet style from Lorde but not necessarily creative new hair looks. All that’s changed as of today! Lorde’s hair was the talk of the red carpet Wednesday night at the 2021 Guggenheim International Gala presented by Dior. No, she didn’t go blonde or cut off her long strands. Instead, her hairstylist Cameron Rains wrapped her long hair around her neck in a sort-of backward ponytail so it resembled a scarf.

Lorde wore a Dior strapless ombre gown for the gala – she also wore it on stage — as well as dainty Neil Lane earrings. She was styled by Karla Welch and Amber Dreadon did her signature no-makeup makeup (with Dior makeup, of course!)

You can see the hair scarf look on Rains’ Instagram, where he also shared behind-the-scenes photos of how he did the look. It’s so creative and almost makes me want hair extensions.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Folks on Twitter are going crazy for the hair scarf. Lorde’s fans are loving seeing their superstar on the red carpet and it just doesn’t happen enough! “Idk what’s the inspiration behind this hairstyle but I love it. It’s giving ‘fuck it, I can do whatever I want with my hair,’” wrote one fan. The same user followed up their tweet with: “It’s also giving red scarf Lorde’s version.” Could this hair scarf be a nod towards Taylor Swift’s missing red scarf? It’s doubtful but if anyone loves a mystery, it’s a Swiftie.

Lorde switched up her hair into ponytail brands for her performance because we can imagine a hair scarf isn’t the most comfortable to wear while singing. Both looks are equally cute and we’re just happy she’s back in business.

8 Gorgeous Energy Exercises to Love Your Face at 60 Plus! (VIDEO)

facial energy exercises

Do you look in the mirror and tell yourself how beautiful you are? Do you gaze into your eyes and see the wisdom and compassion that looks back at you from within?

Have you ever simply smiled at yourself and acknowledged just how amazing you are and the journey of your life so far?

Love Your Face

At the age of 61, I find myself peering into my face with a kind of wonder. I know this face, and yet it is constantly changing. I trace the lines around my eyes gently and with respect. These eyes have beheld so much beauty and also so much pain.

I am curious at the way creases appear in my cheeks as I smile and am so grateful for all of the laughter that has graced my face. I am somewhat amazed that I don’t have more “worry” lines in my forehead as so much of my early life was full of anxiety, stress and worry.

As I gaze at my reflection in the mirror what I see most of all is love. I also see courage, strength, softness, radiance and the reflection of a woman who knows that true, authentic beauty has nothing to do with how we look, only with how we feel. The energy that we give to ourselves is the energy we receive from ourselves.

It wasn’t always like this. I used to scrutinize the way I looked and found myself disapproving of the slightest “imperfection.” I was hard on myself, my body and my appearance. I remember someone asking me what I wanted for my 21 birthday, and I replied harshly, “Just give me a crate of anti-wrinkle lotion!” I thought it was all over once you were past your early 20s. Boy, did I have a lot to learn!

I am so grateful for the way that life and my body have taught me how to love and appreciate every part of myself.

Our Thoughts Are Like Magic Elixirs

Age can be the most wonderful teacher if we allow it. When we realise that every moment is precious, we stop pretending that we have forever and begin to linger longer in the moments we have now. When we understand that our thoughts are like magic elixirs and that fabulous energy is created from choosing fabulous emotions, we soar!

One of the most powerful things we can do is to love who we are. Love is an energy that can transform us. It seeks to uplift, soothe and heal us. Feeling radiant and full of positivity is a beautiful side effect of showing you that you love and care for you.

Fall in Love with You

As a Body Confidence Expert and Coach, I spend my life helping women of every shape, size, weight and age, fall in love with themselves a little more every day. This is the legacy that I seek to leave. A trail of sparkles that lights up people’s lives and constantly invites them to look at themselves with love and exclaim, “Aren’t I fabulous?”

I don’t mean that this is done in an arrogant or superior kind of way but in a way that simply understands the truth of who we all are, because the truth is that we are all fabulous! We have travelled our journeys. We have climbed the mountains, become lost in the wilderness, taken the road less travelled and returned home again and again to the hearth and inner welcome of our own being.

Give Back to You

And so, I wanted to dedicate this piece to our beautiful faces. To every smile you have smiled, to every tear you’ve cried, to the way your nose crinkled up with fun when you were truly amused, for the compassion and tenderness in your eyes and to the way you have faced the world with your courage, bravery and determined optimism. Take a little time to send some loving energy to the face that you have shown the world and bask in your own eternal radiance.

Show Yourself a Little Love with the Radiant Glow Energy Facial

This beautiful energy facial uses a combination of energy medicine, yoga, Qi Gong, resistance exercises, loving touch, therapeutic massage and positive loving intentional affirmations.

Touch your face lightly and with respect. Take this time to connect with you and show how much you love and value you. Our faces often store a vast amount of tension, especially around the forehead, jaw, scalp and eyes. You can do all of these exercises in sequence or just pick and mix! They can be done anywhere – your car, before a meeting, first thing in the morning, last thing at night.

Always approach these exercises with great love and respect – show your face you love it with every touch! Enjoy!

The Radiant Glow Energy Facial Exercises

Ener-CHI Massage – Charging Your Chi

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Vigorously rub your hands together. Gently massage the energy all over your face with gentle upward strokes. Repeat 8 times and then shake off any excess energy. Repeat the mantra, “I am loved.”

Angel Kisses

Lightly tap all over your face with your fingertips. Imagine you are standing out in the summer rain and feeling it gently fall upon your skin. Remember to tap down the sides of your neck to help with detox. Repeat softly to yourself, “I am glowing.”

Bright Eyes

Rub your hands together once more and gently place the palms over both your eyes. Link your little fingers together. Allow your eyes to be bathed in that beautiful energy. Then, take the two index fingers (the magic fingers) and press them gently into the corners of your eyes between the brows (the inner eye socket).

Focus on your breathing. Press your fingers into the ridge just underneath your eyebrows. Press the index fingers into the sides of the eyes. Then take the two fingers and press just on top of the cheek bones. Say to yourself, “My vision is clear.”

The Wonderful Wink

Place the two index fingers to the side of your eyes. Lift upwards, creating some resistance. Gently, see if you can wink from the bottom upwards. Bringing the underneath of the eye upwards. The fingers help create resistance which helps the eye muscle work a little stronger. Repeat gently, “I behold beauty everywhere I go.”

The Magic Eraser

Imagine that your two index fingers have become full of magic and they have extraordinary powers. Place them one on top of the other on your forehead and gently draw small “C” shapes. Your intention is to release any stress, tension and negative thoughts. Imagine that your fingers are releasing and erasing any lines of worry or tension leaving your forehead softened and released. Repeat, “I am calm and relaxed.”

Smile, Smile, Smile!

Gently place both hands on the side of your face. Widen the fingers slightly and press down lightly. Now, make a wide smile with your lips together. Really bring the corners of your mouth up and out. Hold for at least five seconds. Repeat. The affirmation here is, “I love myself; I love my life!”

The Marilyn Monroe

A lovely energy exercise for the lips. Blow kisses. And then blow the kisses against your hand for a little more resistance and then let it go! Tell yourself, “I am fabulous!”

Face and Body Re-Balance

Place both hands in prayer position and put your thumbs underneath your chin with the hands over your nose and lower face. Open up both hands and draw them along the jawline, lifting up both sides of your face. Come up to the temples and tuck your fingers behind the ears and smooth your hands down along both sides of your neck.

Rest your hands on your collar bones for a moment, breathing deeply. Tap in the centre of your collar bones. Repeat, “Everything comes to me with ease and joy.”
