The Magicstripes Eyelid Lifting Strips are $32 for 96 stickers at. I'm better off spending that time covering my dark circles. Turns out my heavy lids don't bother me enough to add one more step to my lazy beauty routine. Would I wear them again? Definitely!

In my opinion, having hooded lids can really suck the joy out of eye makeup. ) For the record, I have hooded lids, which means a little fold of skin sometimes covers the crease of my eyelids - think Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Lawrence, Blake Lively (three women I look nothing like except for this eyelid thing). (They've been available in Europe for a while, but now they're available stateside at Barneys. Also, enter me, who got super excited when I first saw these things.
