Where I got it
I have been seeing reusable silicone eye masks becoming quite popular lately, but it certainly wasn’t the first time I’ve heard of them. A few years ago, I came across a brand that does medical-grade silicone patches for the face – marionette lines, neck patches, chest patches, forehead patches, and eye patches to help with lessening the look of fine lines and hydrating the area. Back then, they were rather thick and clumsy to use, but they do have their place in the market and people love them. Personally, a few years ago, I hardly have any issues with wrinkles and fine lines, so I was using more pimple patches than wrinkle patches.
Fast-forward to now, I am seeing fine lines around my eye area as well as dryness. I also started to apply serums and creams more often around my eye area (doesn’t have to be specifically for the eyes). I came across this brand on IG (their famous green patches with the brand’s fancy writing) and decided to give it a go. I picked up their Tattoo version which is a translucent patch with white designs. The bundle with their depuffing eye gel is $62 (value $69).
What I got
This is the Dieux Skin Angel Eyes Bundle. This bundle comes with a set of the Forever Eye Mask (option to choose between green or tattoo design) and a 20ml bottle of Auracle (Reviving Eye Gel).
Forever Eye Mask. The last eye mask you’ll ever need. Why? It lasts well beyond one use*. We all deserve deliverance from the plight of discarding sheet masks after every use. These masks allow you to treat yourself daily without accumulating unnecessary waste.

These masks encourage products to fully sink in, leaving skin prepped, hydrated, and looking heavenly.

How I find it
Eye masks are not something I use on a regular basis, sometimes I even forget about eye gel or eye cream. However, these silicone eye masks were so cute I had to try it! After skincare, I would apply the eye gel under my eye area and I like to apply a generous amount so I can keep my eye mask on for longer.
The silicone eye mask is really soft and flexible, but it did kind of lift off a little bit on the outer edge of my cheekbones. It looks so cute! I could wear this for a good 20 minutes without the area drying out and when I remove the mask, I just rinse it with water and gentle soap, then I lay it upwards inside the case and let it dry for a couple of hours. Once it is dried, I flip it back and stick it back onto the plastic sheet. I wouldn’t say I saw dramatic results from using this eye gel and eye mask, but I do feel that the skin around my eye area is hydrated and less dry. It didn’t do much for dark circles and lines, but I’m sure there are no over-night miracles.
Overall
I would continue using this eye gel until it is finished, but I probably would not repurchase. The silicone mask is a nice idea, but once the patterns fade, you will need to discard it. I would repurchase the eye mask or something similar from another brand.
