REVIEW: Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch

~AG~

Finally done with Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch and decided to get more eye patch. One tub of 60 patches lasted me 8 months. This time decided to try the Petifee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch instead. It costs S$13.67 (S$9.83) from iHerb. The Black Pearl & Gold Eye Patch is cheaper than the Gold EGF Eye Patch (S$30). That is less than half the price. Similarly, it also comes with 60 eye patches.

Made with black pearl and gold powder, this eye mask is full of amino acids to help regeneration and purification of the skin. Infused with grapefruit, green tea, mugwort, tangerine and cucumber extracts to hydrate the eye area and reduce puffiness. It supposedly brighten dark under eye area. 

So what I like to do with these eye patches is to store it in the fridge. The hydrogel eye patches feel refreshing when it is cooled. After cleansing and applying toner, I leave on the eye patches for 30 minutes. I usually put them on at night before bed. These eye patches are soaked with essence to nourish the skin.

Somehow I prefer the Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch. It seems to work better to hydrate and refresh the eyes area. Though my dark circles are not reduced by using either of the eye patch. Overall, would not repurchase Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch.

REVIEW: KoCoStar Tropical Eye Patch Acai Berry

~AG~

Bought KoCoStar Tropical Eye Patch Acai Berry from Shilla Duty Free. It was selling for $27 for 10 pairs. They were having a promotion, 10% off Korean products at Shilla Duty Free. At the end, it costs S$2.43 for each pair of eye patch.  

Actually have never heard of this brand. After some reading, I found out that KoCoStar is a South Korean brand that is known to have mask series that can be used from head to toe. They have nail and hand pack, feet pack, lip mask, sheet mask and eye patch. There was a selection of Tropical Eye Patch to chose from: Pitaya (Dragonfruit), Mango, Coconut, Papaya.

Since Acai Berry is known for its antioxidant properties, I decided to try it. The Eye Patch contains natural fruit extract that gives the hydrogel its color. This hydrogel eye patch is more translucent compared to Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch. What I noticed instantly about KoCoStar Eye Patch is that it is not as soaked with essence compared to Petitfee. KoCoStar feels relatively dry when I removed it from the packaging. The Petitfee Eye Patch tends to slide down the eye area since it is drenched with essence. But KoCoStar Eye Patch stays on pretty well.  The KoCoStar eye patch is much longer compared to Petitfee, thus covering a larger area of the under eyes.  

After using KoCoStar Tropical Eye Patch for 15 minutes, my undereye area feels cooling. I think it would have been more refreshing if I had put the Eye Patch in the fridge before use. On KoCoStar's website, they encourage the Eye Patch to be used daily but I am rather lazy about it. Since I use it once a week only, I cannot tell whether the Eye Patch helps to brighten the under eye area.

Overall, I would purchase other KoCoStar Tropical Eye Patch to try as it is rather affordable. Maybe I would try the Dragonfruit Eye Patch next. Since each pair is individually packed, Kocostar Eye Patch makes it great for traveling.

REVIEW: Innisfree Eco Science Eye Mask

~AG~

An anti-wrinkle eye mask with extract of Pure Jeju sea plants to encourage the regeneration of delicate skin around the skin.

Innisfree World , which is Innisfree's official online store, retails it for S$5.58 for a pack of eye mask.

So what I usually do to my eye mask is to leave them in the fridge. The cooling effect makes the eye mask more refreshing. Coldness is known to constrict blood vessels, which reduces the flow of fluid into soft tissues, and thus reducing puffiness.

This eye mask claims to help reduce wrinkles by stimulating cells growth. But to tell you the truth, a mere eye mask cannot be a miracle wrinkle care. From what we know, wrinkle care is a long and tedious process. It consists of taking care of your skin from an early age.

The gel mask placed under the eyes. You can see my dark circles. 

The gel mask fits nicely under the eyes

Anyway, more about the product. A pack comes with 2 eye patches. The eye patches are made of gel, which is a  much stronger material than the usual sheet mask. The packaging says to leave the eye mask for 20 minutes before removing it. I usually leave my mask on for longer than the recommended time, for as long as 30-40 minutes. It will be such a waste to remove the eye mask when it is still soaked with essence (all the good stuff). Though, I have to say that this gel mask is not as generous with their essence as other sheet mask such as My Beauty Diary Dark Circles Intensive Care Eye Mask. The skin around the eye area feels refreshed and hydrated after using the eye mask. I cannot say much about the eye mask's claim to reduce wrinkles since it was only a one-time use.
Overall, I will not repurchase this eye mask.

REVIEW: My Beauty Diary Dark Circles Intensive Care Eye Mask

~AG~

Each pack comes with 5 pairs of eye mask

 

Available in Sasa, Watsons and Guardian

This magical invigorating and brightening eye masks are shaped like cute little fishes that hugs your eye contours to remove dullness and relieve fatigue.

 

Containing a blend of vitamins and rich plant extracts, the dual-system treatment formula targets the dullness and fatigue around the eye area, intensively infusing both beauty and vitality. The first radiant care system combines Vitamin C derivatives and Vitamin B3 along with Chrysin and Multi-Peptide reduces skin pigmentation, boosts circulation and restores healthy looking eyes. The second brightening care system of rich plan extracts consists of Rosa Centifolia essence, Ginseng extract, Horse-chestnut, Arnica montana and Common Broom eliminates dullness, evens out skin tone and relieves eye fatigue that works wonders to your eyes, reflecting clear dewy eyes and translucent beauty that mesmerizes.

The fish-shaped eye masks are so CUTE! They are so much fun to use!
However, the eye masks are not drenched with as much essence as the My Beauty Diary face sheet mask. The skin around the eye area feels cooling and slightly tingly when using it. After use, my eye area felt more moisturized and more toned. Because of this hydrating and firming effects, the eye area looks brighter. But I'll have to use it more to see whether its brightening property is more long-term and more noticeable.
