  • Primark’s Under Eye Patches For Under £2.00!

    There’s one thing I’ve missed in my local Primark store…under eye patches! For some reason they haven’t been stocked when I’ve visited. My last visit I went in for a lip liner for my teenage daughter and there they were waiting for me! Under eye patches I enjoy using if they’re a decent quality. With someone who suffers with hay fever, plus my under eyes really do show the world how my life is going, I find these a great quick fix. So what under eye patches did I find, what do they do and how much do they cost?

    Primark’s Under Eye Patches!
    Brightening & Depuffing Eye Patches

    Containing 15 treatments (assuming this means 15 pairs of under eye patches), these eye patches contain Vitamin C, peptides and liquorice root extract. These are designed to help the under eye area appear less dull, brighter and help with puffiness making this area appear less tired. £1.50.

    Hydrate + Revitalise Eye Patches

    Containing 15 treatments (again), these eye patches are designed to hydrate, soothe and help with puffiness and dark circles. Ingredients include caffeine, lavender extract, Vitamin E and collagen. £1.50.

    Hydrate + Revitalise Eye Patches
    Hydrate Hyaluronic Acid Gel Eye Patches

    Containing 3 pairs of under eye patches which should be more gel like in look and feel than traditional tissue like masks are made from. These eye masks are all about keeping the under eyes nourished, hydrated, relaxed and soothed. £1.80.

    Thoughts?

    Under eye masks aren’t designed to change the eye area massively and permanently. They give this area of the face a simple pick me up, which is temporary. Great for general pampering, some extra relief if the under eye area is dry, stressed or tired. These under eye patches are all affordable, contain more than one pair of under eye masks which means these can be used daily, and not kept just for a treat (if needed). Great to pop into the fridge for an added cooling effect, and dragged out before use. So if all these do is stay secure on the face, hydrate, comfort and relax the eyes, then job is done!

    PS. I bought 2 packs!

  • Are These Undereye Hydrogel Patches For Under £1.50 Any Good?

    If you have a favourite type of skincare product, what is it? One of my favourite products has got to be under eye patches/masks. They’re an easy way to give tired looking under eyes a little more of a rested and hydrated look and feel. So anytime I see them, especially when they’re affordable, I have to buy them! My latest purchase comes from Home Bargains in the form of Popmask Skin’s Angel Eyes Under Eye Hydrogel Patches. Containing 5 pairs, this set cost £1.49. So how did they perform?

    Popmask Skin Angel Eyes Under eye Hydrogel Patches
    What are these?

    These under eye patches are to be placed onto clean skin. Designed to help improve puffy eyes, give a cooling effect and overall make the under eye area look and feel better (on a temporary basis). This set contains 5 pairs of patches, meaning 5 separate treatments. Fragrance, colour and cruelty free.

    Packaging

    Popmask Skin’s Angel Eyes Patches comes in a black and white cardboard box. It’s only after using these patches I realised that the black images on the packaging are angel winged shaped. So very much a stand out box that caught my eye straight away on the shelf. The patches themselves, each pair, come in their very own sachet with the look mirroring the box.

    Popmask’s Angel Eyes Undereye Hydrogel Patches
    Ingredients

    Include sea water, pumpkin fruit, caffeine and cucumber extract.

    How do these look?

    The patches themselves are quite large, black and winged shaped, just like the images on the packaging. Quite thick, with a shiny, sticky side and on the front almost felt like.

    In use

    Once I took these off the clear sheet of plastic these were stuck on, I placed them on my under eye area and they were secure, not moving and very much in place. Despite these being in the fridge overnight, I didn’t feel any coolness. Although these felt very comfortable on, it was very different to any other under eye patches I’ve used before. It felt like tape had been placed on my face, with no sense of moisture or serum on them, which was an odd sensation.

    Taking them off was easy to do. But I did do it gently and slowly because these really were stuck on well. My under eyes didn’t feel hydrated or rested, before or during use, just very rigid for 20mins.

    Recommended?

    The packaging and the look of these I loved! Being in sachets mean these are great for travelling and keeps each pair fresh and ready for use. The design and look of the patches themselves is fun and very different. But the problem I had was there was no feel or action of any serum being placed from them to the under eye area, which you would want surely? Using these didn’t feel very pampering, or hydrating and as fun as these looked on did very little. So I won’t be buying these again. And I wouldn’t recommend them if you want under eye patches that soothe and smooth this area of your face.

  • How Good Are Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches?

    We all live in hope that skincare products will sort out specific skin issues quickly. Some deliver results fast, some take time and some not at all. My expectations of how skincare products will work can be varied, but I’m still willing to give things a go and hope for the best! I recently bought Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches to try out. Containing 15 treatments, this cost £1.80.

    Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches
    Why did I buy this?

    Because I look tired! Who wants to look like a zombie with under eyes touching their knees? I don’t! This is why I love under eye patches. They won’t change this area of the face permanently, but can give a temporary boost. I also like using them, so why would I NOT try these?

    What do you get & what do they do?

    15 treatments, 30 under eye patches in total. Created to smooth the under eye area and help de-puff eyes and make them look better. Caffeine as an ingredient can help with circulation and energising of the skin.

    Packaging

    Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches come in a resealable sachet. Very practical to use and store, basic in look but very appealing with how it’s presented.

    How to use

    Apply onto freshly cleansed skin, place under the eye area and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and don’t wash off.

    In use

    These eye patches are typical in look and feel to most tissue under eye patches. White in colour, moist with serum but not drenched and a decent thickness to them. Very easy to apply. They covered the whole under eye area and stayed where they were placed comfortably. Slightly cooling, these didn’t budge until I removed them which I loved.

    Taking these off, I felt my under eyes were moisturised lightly, so felt as if they had been treated in some way. Did Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches change the look of my under eyes? Nothing massively noticeable to be honest. Maybe a tiny bit fresher in look but not wowing. But I did enjoy using them!

    Recommended?

    Controversially, I actually would recommend these, and I will explain why. The patches are well constructed and had the perfect amount of serum soaked into them. Good shape, comfortable to wear, soothing, not fragranced and they didn’t dry out too much. They also didn’t dry out my under eyes and actually hydrated them. The fact you get 15 pairs of eye patches in a sealed packet means lots and lots of pampering for myself and anyone else who wants to use them in my household! So do they improve the under eye area? No eye surgery here. But they do provide light relief delivered in an enjoyable way for only £1.80.

    Simple Face & Eye Skincare Masks

    There’s been quite a few different Simple skincare face and eye masks available on the shelves at Home Bargains for the last few weeks. Ranging from 49p up to 89p, these are considerably cheaper here than anywhere else on the high street.

    Garnier Eye, Lip & Face Skincare Masks

    Although a lip mask isn’t really something I would want to purchase, some may want to for 99p. What more people would be more drawn to I think is the Garnier eye and face masks. For 69p you could grab either their Hydra Bomb Tissue Face Mask or for the same price their Moisture Bomb Eye Sheet Mask. Picking up all three of these items would cost less than one in some high street stores so great value.

    Glow Perfume Mists, Body Washes & Body Butters

    Social media has been going crazy over the latest products from Glow. They’re supposed to be dupes of the popular (but very expensive) Sol De Janeiro brand. Different fragrances are available with generous sizes. The perfume mists cost £3.99 and the body butters £4.99. The body washes are HUGE! For 750ml, and nicely fragranced, these came in at only £2.49. Are these good dupes for Sol de Janeiro? I don’t know, I’ve never used products from the brand. But how these products are packaged and marketed seems to indicate they are.

    So the question is, did I buy anything I’ve mentioned? Silly question, of course I did! If you want to grab any of these affordably priced products check out your local stores quickly, because they won’t be there forever!
