Getting rid of dark circles

What is a good inexpensive cream to lessen them or natural product to use? Or worse case an awesome coverstick to hide them...

Vitamin K cream is supposed to be good for that. I got some by Jason Naturals a huge tube for around $12. I didn't notice anything drastic but it did seem to help more than other things I have tried (ahem hylexin). If you are into mineral makeup Jane Iredale makes 2 concealers - Active Light (which is a highlighting pen) and Circle Delete (heavier concealer). They contain vitamin K and buckwheat wax and when I was using the products regularly I actually did notice a real difference. The initial cost is about much but the stuff lasts forever. You'll definitely need a good brush to apply these with - they take a bit of working to avoid looking cakey but the result is great. Unfortunately I am allergic to Bare Escentuals but before I erupted in the rash of my life I was very impressed by the Well Rested concealer. Again the brush and application makes all the difference with this so you would need to invest in a good one (The Sephora concealer brush is nice). No ingredients in this one to actually treat the issue but just layer it over some vitamin K cream and kill 2 birds with one stone. Alternatively use the cheapo vitamin K cream under some drugstore concealer. I've heard amazing things about Revlon Colorstay concealer. My circles are so bad that I prefer to 'diffuse' rather than totally cover so I like Clarins Light Perfecting Touch pen. It brightens the area and takes all of 2 seconds to apply. Almay has a new one too a brightening base/ concealer (comes in a click pen) and I use that when I don't want to waste my precious Clarins. If you are looking for full-coverage the MAC concealer that comes in the pot is great. In addition to the above make sure you are getting enough water. Drinking tons of water (or green tea) makes my circles go away almost completely. Drink until you pee clear and see if the circles look any better. Hope that helps :)
