Review: Etude House Collagen Eye patch

You probably remember when I ordered my ebay haul ( post here ) and promised to review the items? Well, first off, we're going to go with the Collagen eye patch from Etude house, that I was the most excited about.

The products arrived in a cardboard box, and when I opened it, I was greeted by this cute little message with buttload of typos. I think it's hilarious, and adorable, kind of.

In addition to the items that I ordered, I got a lot of samples!

What I got extra:

3 x Tony Moly I'm Real Aloe Soothing Mask
3 x Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream, Bright Fit
Etude House Face Conditioning cream SPF 25
Etude House Sunprise sun lotion SPF 50

Here's the packaging. It arrived in these small packs that contain two pads, one for each eye ( naturally.. ). They're one use only! The packaging itself is really cute, in a baby pink tone. When you open it up, the inner side of the foil packaging is pretty darn sticky, since the collagen is literally everywhere. The pads themselves are in a clear plastic casing, so the spillage isn't as bad as it could be.

What you're supposed to do, is open up the plastic container, and separate the ( very thin ) layers of pads from each other. Between the pads there's these plastic see-through criss-cross pattern pieces, that you should remove. At first I had some trouble, since I couldn't tell apart the plastic from the cotton pads, but trust me, they're there. Just prick the heap of pads until you can separate them. 

After you have done so, just apply these pads directly under your eyes after toning and lotioning your skin. Lotioning isn't a must, but it won't hurt you to do it before. If you do it after, you'll get collagen residue all over yo face gurl. After applying, let them sit for at least 15-20 minutes. I've heard people having them over night, which is a fine way too, but remember that the effects only last a few hours.

In my experience, this worked extremely well. It got rid of my undereye puffiness, and I feel like it lightened my dark circles effectively. As I already pointed out, the effects only last for a few hours, but it's a great plus to my normal makeup routine. The pads themselves weren't expensive at all, but since I only have a few, I wouldn't want to waste them on a makeupless day. I highly recommend you getting these, they are 100% worth your money!

And I'm happy to inform you that all of my other items have arrived as well! I'll be reviewing the Skinfood mask pack as well, but the toner was pretty standard good quality toner so I won't bother with a review. I will, however, make a post where I have pictures of them all. You know, because I got my super cute phone cases as well. Oh, and I ordered a new mouse because mine died on me. I'll probably be posting a picture of that too. Thanks for tuning in, stay classy folks. <3
