Remember all that noise Cate Blanchett made about being hopelessly devoted to SK-II? Well scratch that, because it seems the missus has been stepping out with one Dr. Joshi and his miraculous slew of holistic potions. Reportedly, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss join them for foursomes. What gives?

Diet- and nutrition-obsessed ladies in the U.K. swear by Joshi, an Ayurvedic expert and preacher of detox and homeopathy that's always in the press over there. So naturally, heh, they're all gaga for his Holistic Skincare line, and especially his eye cream, and I was curious and excited to get my hands on it.

Dear Product Fiend,

Do you know of a passable under eye cream that has some sort of SPF to it?

Sincerely, Poppy

Lots and lots of companies are starting to realize that hey, sunscreen hurts when you get it in your eyes, so they're adapting their eye creams to have a little protection with less sting. Go them!

Um, yeah, really. Apparently, they're all the rage in parts of Asia, mostly in Japan, and after visiting and seeing some of the crazy--in a good way--styles those kids rock, I'm not surprised.

However, is it just me or do colored contacts always add a certain element of surprise--and not in a good way?

Don't you love when a product kind of does what its name promises? Um, according to Amazon, customers who purchased this product also bought Charla Krupp's How Not to Look Old (the kind of silly tome that actually I'm just jealous I didn't think to write myself, d'oh!). No matter. I just get really amped when the texture of silk is expressed in a product, in this case, making your eye area look as smooth as it was back in the day when you had no concept of the word "wrinkle."

The clinical studies backing this Relastin gem claim that their Zinc
