If there’s one thing I get paranoid over in my beauty routine it has to be my eyes. I can handle bad hair days, the random grey hair, or the occasional blemish – but, when I fret about beauty – specifically my skin – I always end up focusing on my eyes. While tired looking eyes may just come with the territory of early mornings and restless nights, I don’t want my eyes to sport a permanent shadow.
For years (and I mean, seriously years – I started way back in high school) I’ve tried and tested numerous eye creams. While I have found a few I liked, I’ve never found one that made me really want to stick to it. But recently I was sent and was immediately intrigued.

VIIcode OM2 Oxygen Eye Mask
While these patches may look silly, they are the cure to my tired looking eyes. Lately, I’ve been applying these VIIcode patches to my under-eyes before bed. I allow the patches to sit all night and in the mornings I peel them off. This past weekend I needed this rejuvenating eye treatment even more desperately after having an incredibly late night and early morning. If you follow me on Snapchat (urbanumbrella29) than you likely saw that I even got Jeremy in on the eye-patches as he also had a really late Saturday night. After a very busy weekend, I absolutely thought that on Monday my eyes would look tired and drawn, but instead I found that my eyes appeared much smoother and hydrated.
I had never used eye pad treatments before so when I first started using the VIIcode OM2 Oxygen Eye Mask patches I really had no expectations. I was really surprised after opening my first packet to find the small cotton pads with their jelly treatment on one side. I had thought it would feel sticky, or like a heavy cream on my face, but instead it felt cool and refreshing. After washing off my makeup, and cleansing my skin, I then applied the VIIcode OM2 Oxygen Eye Mask patches and settled in for bed.
These treatments provide continuous treatment over 8 hours so it’s best to use it while you sleep. It uses ecological plant oxygen extracts which means you’re helping your eyes without using harsh or harmful chemicals. Since I have sensitive skin, I am always looking for products that have mainly natural ingredients. My skin can easily become red and irritated from harsh chemicals and leave my skin feeling striped and uncomfortable. I have to say, these under eye treatments did none of that; my eyes looked bright and more glowing, and my skin was left soft as can be. A package of VIIcode OM2 Oxygen Eye Mask treatments costs $55 comes with 6 packets. On their website, VIIcode recommends that you use these treatments 2-3 times weekly, and typically after 3 boxes you see full results. I personally have been using them twice weekly, and honestly felt like I could see a difference the day after trying my first mask.

I'll have to try these! I get allergy shiners and it looks like I've been punched in the eyes sometimes. I've given up trying to cover it up and just sort of embraced it but these might help!
