Am I the only one who was baffled to
hear that there are masks SPECIFICALLY for your eyes? I mean, I was all over
face masks, but it never dawned on me that you could just target your eyes! So
I was a bit bamboozled (but intrigued) when this eye mask from LonVitalité
showed up in a subscription box many moons ago. I was very keen to try them out
because a) I had never even heard of, let alone seen an eye mask before and b)
I’ve got me some mega dark circles under my eyes!
LonVitalité are a fairly new player in
the beauty industry, having only entered the game in 2009. They are a
Queensland based company (yay!) who have their products formulated in Germany.
The LonVitalité name has been slowly creeping into the mainstream and this year,
they were voted Beauty Heaven’s Best New Face Mask of 2014 with their C4
Coconut Milk Face Mask. There are a number of Australian stockists, including
both Bellabox and Lust Have It but you can also buy directly from the
LonVitalité website (it looks like they ship worldwide too!). I was also lucky
enough to meet Rochelle, the owner of LonVitalité at a blogger event in
Melbourne recently. She’s a wonderful lady and there are going to be some very
exciting developments and new products from LonVitalité in the future so watch
this space!
The
Product – C8 Collagen Crystal Eye Mask ($28.00 for
a pack of 6)
The C8 Collagen Eye Masks come in
individual sealed packs of 2. The packaging has a little blurb on in all about
the masks and their ingredients. Because I received these in an individual
packet in a subscription box, there were no actual instructions on the packet
and I lost the little beauty card that came with them in the subscription box. Thankfully, they are
pretty simple to work out and if I can figure it out, I’m sure the rest of you
will do alright! They’re made of a quite
thin, squishy gel and they are slippery little suckers so be careful. I like
the convenient individual packaging, these would be great to take away on a
relaxing weekend.
Using the
product
As I said before, despite the lack of
instructions, I managed to figure these out pretty easily. You just need to
tear open the individual packet and apply just underneath your eyes. I didn’t
have an exact time frame to leave them on for so I just had a nice relaxing bath
and removed them when I was done. A good tip during summer is to pop them in
the fridge before use so you get a nice cooling, de-puffing effect too. They
felt really nice on my skin and my under eye area seemed more plump and much
softer after using these. They didn’t really help with the dark circles (I’ve
come to terms with the fact that I’m just a dark-under-eye-bags kind of person)
but they made my eye area feel so much better.

KaBOOM! Cosmetics gives the LonVitalité C8 Collagen Crystal Eye Mask:
All up, a very nice little product, I definitely wouldn’t mind keeping a stash of these in my bathroom! If they’d banished my dark circles, they would have been perfect but they scored so highly otherwise that I’m willing to forgive them. Have you tried the C8 Collagen Eye Masks yet?
Stay
beautiful!
