***WOW**** This stuff is absolutely fabulous and by far the BEST eye mask I have used!!!

I know this is a big call but these eye masks are the best eye product I have tried in YEARS! I am absolutely thrilled with the results and also totally upset that no doubt they are just temporary. That would be ok if not for the fact that the mask is *very* expensive.

I hurt my back yesterday so I'm spending the day lying down and hence looking for things to occupy my time with. What perfect time to try out some new skincare Smile

So, here's a bit of background on my eye area issues before I tell you about the results. I am generally happy with the skin around my eyes, I don't have any wrinkles (thanks to the Cellcosmet eye cream and sunblock, I assume), my dark circles are mostly in check but there is one thing that I wish I could fix - visible veins. I am very pale, have almost translucent skin and on top of that I am underweight so there is not much fat sitting between my veins and the skin. That leads to one thing - being a rather veiny person' (nurses love me, if there was a pageant for nicest veins I am told that I would win in). As much as I have got used to this over the years, there is one place where I do not wish to have visible veins and that is on my face, and especially around the eye area. As luck would have it, this is of course where they also are. That means that even on a good day (i.e. no dark circles) I usually use some concealer to at least cover up a pretty pronounced vein around my left eye. So far no skincare product has been able to make these disappear or significantly fade.

Enter the Valmont Eye Regenerating Mask! These masks are individual masks that come in a pack of 5. Each individual mask pack consists of three items - a tray containing two collagen sheets, a bottle of precursor complex (for the collagen sheets) and a smaller bottle of Collagen Post Treatment for after the mask is removed.

Basically, you take the precursor complex liquid (which has that lovely familiar Valmont scent to it) and pour it into the collagen sheet tray (collagen then rayon are the first two listed ingredients of the sheets) to soak the masks. There is PLENTY of liquid to really soak the masks, too much even I would say since I had some dripping down my face once I put them on. One the sheets are soaked, just apply them under the eye area with the smooth side down (the other side is textured). The instructions say to keep them on for "at least" 20 minutes. Since I am lying on the floor and on some pretty strong painkillers today, I decided not to bother getting up again too early and kept them on for probably almost an hour. I then applied some of the post treatment fluid and followed with the Valmont Eye & Mouth cream.

As soon as I took off the sheets and looked in the mirror, I was just absolutely taken aback by the results. My eye area has NEVER looked like this. EVER! I doubt that even if my life was 100% stress free and I got unlimited amounts of sleep my eye area would look like this. All those little veins were invisible and the bigger vein was just a faint outline. My eye area felt incredibly fresh, plump and awake (and still does 3 hours later) and it was (and still is) almost unnaturally smooth. As I said before, I don't have any wrinkles but this result is beyond no wrinkles... It also looked a whole lot brighter, despite the fact that I don't consider myself having dark circles at the moment, there is a whole lot of shadow/purple that the mask apparently wiped out.

Now, unfortunately, the results are of course temporary. So, my veins eventually returned (after about an hour I guess) but are still not as pronounced as they were before (though no doubt they will get there...). The smoothness and incredible fresh feeling (like a mint for the eye area :LOL: ) still remains after a few hours. Luckily, I have a few more of these masks so I will be doing one a week as part of a regular facial and will report back to see if there is an overall more permanent effect if you use these masks on a regular basis. While I am hoping that there is a more permanent effect, for now I see this mask as an absolutely FANTASTIC pick-me-up right before a big event.
