Notes from the Mature Bunny (aka Jen’s mom!):

Sampar

My mature skin (which used to be an oil slick) now needs moisturizing every day. I tried Sampar Ultra Hydrating Fluid which claims to have aromatherapy, hydrating, and skin protection benefits. It contains white lupin – a wildflower extract that is supposed to renew the protective barrier of your skin. It has a nice scent and absorbs well. It also has a cooling effect probably because it contains a mint extract.

I’ve also tried Sampar’s Splendid Eyes Elation (this is a French company which may explain the over-the-top name). This product is supposed to solve all the eye area problems I have – wrinkles, bags, puffiness, discoloration, etc. It is a transparent gel that has a cooling and tightening effect. I’ll let you know later about long-term results of these products.

Another problem for Mature Bunnies – your eyelashes fall out! I didn’t expect this one. I always had full and long lashes, but now they’ve almost disappeared. I tried Mindy Shear Mascara and Lash Builder. They come with big brushes and what looks like a gloppy formula. But I found that they go on without clumps and do thicken and lengthen the lashes I have left. Much better than the drugstore brands I have tried.

Mindy Shear

And while we’re on this subject, guess what else Mature Bunnies are missing…eyebrows! They either turn white or fall out altogether. The Mindy Shear Brush On Brow product is a dark powder (I’m using black, but they also have brown) that I use sparingly.

It comes with a stiff little brush that you’d think would not work, but it’s exactly the kind of brush you need for this job. The powder stays on all day and so far I haven’t rubbed it off.
