Earth Therapeutics Cucumber Eye Pads: Review

I have been purchasing Earth Therapeutics Cucumber Eye Pads time and time again simply because I find them to be cleaner, easier to use, and they're pretty dang efficient.

The Earth Therapeutics Cucumber Eye Pads come in packs of 5 (10 pads), but you can sometimes find them in a kit with 4 packs of eye pads. Two in cucumber, and two in orange, totaling 40 eye pads.

Anyhow, they are pretty cute, they are round pads with a cucumber design drawn right onto them. They actually look real, but clearly they are not.

You simply open 2 of the packages, and add one pad slice to each eye. I leave them on for about 10 minutes for a quick refreshing fix for tired eyes.

As far as removing dark circles though, the Earth Therapeutics Cucumber Eye Pads only go so far. They refresh eyes, and leave them way less puffy looking, but they don't cure dark circles.

Regardless though I do enjoy using them in the bath, or when I'm looking to reduce the look of puffy tired eyes.

Revlon Limited Edition Collection Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner

I bought Revlon Bedroom Eyes, in Fishnet Jet not because it looked cool, or because it was by Revlon; but because I simply sweat whenever I see the word NEW, or LIMITED EDITION. With the new collection of powdered liners stating both, I of course had to try it.

I assumed at $9.95 for such a small tube of it, that it would work wonders. I usually spend no more than $6.00 on liners for my eyes!

When I got home I had no idea that the powdered liner would contain micro-fine flecks of purple glitter within the jet black liner. On the in store display advertising in no way shape or form did it appear that any of these liners had glitter in them. For me, being a lover of glitter, and things that bling, it was an added bonus. For those who like more subtle liners though, I'd skip this all together. In fact I would skip it all together either way. Read on...

The Wand:

Revlon Limited Edition Collection Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner comes with a screw of lid, with an application sponge wand attached to it. I assumed that seeing how the container the liner came in was so small, the wand would also be thin, giving me precise and easy application.

When I unscrewed it though, I was pretty shocked to see that the sponge head was a hell of a lot thicker than what I am used to. The sponge was so thick that I knew I would not be able to apply the liner to the small bottom lids. I'd have to use a thin brush liner for that. Ugh!

Results:

Revlon Limited Edition Collection Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner was nothing more than a $10.00 mistake. The liner goes on as if it is a cream liner, but really it's powder, with moisturizer added to allow for ease of application.

However, as I slid the wand across my eye, the powder clumped up in areas. I had to blow off the excess mess, and the results looked nice after all was said and done.

But then something bad happened. Something I was not expecting from such an expensive liner.

Just a few short moments later, and a few blinks in...and I look at myself in the mirror and noticed that the liner has smudged some, and has also colored in the small creases in my lids.

This is something I would expect from a cheap dollar store liner...not Revlon!

Overall:

Garbage. I would not even spend a dollar on it! It smudges, clumps, bleeds into the creases of your eyes, and leaves your lids looking a mess.
