This article titled “Kiss and make-up: eye serum” was written by Eva Wiseman, for The Observer on Sunday 29th August 2010 11.02 UTC

Though I’ve tried to remember much over the years, there’s only one quote I know I’ll never forget. It touched me deeply. Asked if she could edit one thing from her past, Fergie, the ex-crystal meth addict and one-time onstage urinator from the Black Eyed Peas, said she’d have started applying eye cream when she was 18. The day I read this, I bought an eye serum. Currently, I’m enjoying Crème de la Mer’s extravagant new eye balm (£95, cremedelamer.co.uk). I forget to use it more often than not, but whenever that interview comes echoing through to me, which it does, admittedly, at moments of great ennui, I’ll dab it on, and sigh for Fergie.
