Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patch Review

Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patch

Bought for: Free | SRP: P841.50

From: Go Bloom and Glow

Hey, there! Today, I will be sharing a review on this Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patch I got as a prize for winning Go Bloom and Glow's try me event. I am very excited to make a review on this because I've only tried a couple of Heimish products in my life--this and the REFRESH WATER CLEAN UP PEELING TONER which is pretty much so-so. Trying out another product from the brand will help me get to know it more.

I have been seeing this eye patch all over Instagram and online shops now because a lot of beauty enthusiasts I follow rave about it. I haven't tried a lot of eye patches before so it really cheers me up to try out something new. Without further ado, let's just dive right into the review!

CLAIMS

Perfect for tired eyes, this multifunctional Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patch not only brightens dark circles under eyes, but also helps skin stay firm and bouncy. With Bulgarian rose water as its star ingredient, each patch is full of skin-benefiting vitamins and minerals, plus ultra-hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties. Made with unique highly elastic hydro-gel material that allows essence to fully absorb into skin for maximum benefits, the Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patch can also be used anywhere on your skin that needs extra care such as your forehead and cheeks.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Using the spatula to separate the patches, lift out two pieces and place them directly under the eyes or wherever your skin needs extra care (such as forehead and cheeks). Leave on for 20-30 minutes -- these hydrogel material will stay moist for longer than most mask products. Pat in any remaining serum with fingertips.

PACKAGING

The overall packaging looks very chic and pretty. The patches comes in a sturdy plastic tub with a white and pink color combination. There isn't much information printed on the tub so you really would've to rely on the box for the ingredient list, directions and claims (written in Korean).

I am not really a fan of bulky tubs like this because it's not very hygienic to me. Once opened, you get everything exposed to the air which pretty much leads to product contamination or bacteria buildup. I still appreciate that it comes with an inner plastic seal for extra protection and a spatula so you don't have to have physical contact with the product inside.

SCENT

The patches smells like rose which isn't exactly a surprise considering Bulgarian Rose Water is its star ingredient. I truly love the scent and now I'm looking for a real rose fragrance because of this.

 

TEXTURE

Oh just how surprised as I was after opening the container! Aside from the lovely rose scent, the light pink patches are a stand out because of the shiny, shimmery effect. Heimish gave it such a very nice aesthetic. The patches are very soft and bouncy and fun to use. Applying it to the skin gives a vibe of royalty, agree? I see myself like a princess doing her usual skin care. Was it a very silly idea? You can't blame me!

The patches are made of hydrogels so you can only imagine how much hydration is in there. The hydrogels are soaked in thick, silky essences that will definitely give your skin sufficient moisture and hydration your dry under eyes need. You just have to be careful when applying this one because it tears very easily.

PERFORMANCE

I like to use these hydrogel patches before sleeping as the skin absorbs skincare better while at it. I always use the spatula to scoop a patch from the container and apply it on my under eyes. I know I apply the patches wrong but I just think that the upward curve from the pointed end fits my eyes better and the essences from the bigger area of the patch works to moisturize my cheeks too. This product is a bit expensive so might as well maximize its use lol.

The essence is quite thick but still wears comfortably even during hot days because of its cooling effect. It also takes time to dry which isn't very common to most hydrogel patches I've tried before. That just means that it has more essence to it and you get a better value for your money. Because its drenched in liquid, the patches tends to slip down the cheeks every now and then so it would be better if you apply it while you're lying down. Wait a few more minutes if you're about to do a chore and until then the patches will adhere well.

I have been using these for about a month now, 3-4 times a week but lately, I find myself using it more often because I've noticed my under eyes are more pronounced and darker due to stress and lack of sleep. My eyes look tired too and using it for two days consecutively, I've noticed my under eyes are significantly less baggy. I just don't prefer using it on most parts of my face because I find the essence too thick and sticky given that I have oily skin. If you have dry skin, this is even more suitable.

If you are looking for an eye mask that does it job well in reducing baggy under eyes and hydrates the skin to prevent sagging and fine lines from appearing too early, you have to try this out. It keeps the skin plump and healthy and definitely moisturized throughout the day. I am not sure how many patches are in there but there's a lot and it would last you for a month or so depends on usage.

I take a quick look on Heimish website and there I find a hack you might wanna do your self with just a few patches and hot water mixed together and voila, you just created yourself a facial mist! Just transfer the melted hydrogels in a spritz container and use it to freshen up during the day. I tried to melt it by placing the hydrogels in a glass of water and then placing it to a bigger tub poured with hot water and it makes a fine body moisturizer/toner!

If Heimish Bulgarian Rose Water Hydrogel Eye Patch interests you, you can buy this from GO BLOOM AND GLOW website for a discounted price and let me know how it does wonders to your skin! Happy blogging!

Heimish Refresh Water Clean Up Peeling Toner Review

Heimish Refresh Water Clean Up Peeling Toner

Bought for: P210 (85 ml deluxe size)

Bought from: an online shop

Heimish Refresh Water Clean Up Peeling Toner is one of my purchases from the previous month. My favorite Korean Beauty Shop went on sale and this deluxe size of Heimish's very own Clean Up Peeling Toner was at an awesome discounted price and so I had the urge to purchase it right then and there. Deluxe sizes like this will already give me a generous time to gauge whether or not it is worth a repurchase. You know what I think? It definitely is!

CLAIMS

An ultimate multitasking water that provides a clean canvas for any skincare and makeup that follows. Free of alcohol, the new Heimish Refresh Water picks up any residue left behind after cleansing without drying or irritating skin. Loaded with natural plant and flower extracts, Refresh Water can be used as a toner/gentle exfoliator during your regular skincare routine and as a refreshing mist throughout the day. As a toner, Refresh Water resets pH level after cleansing with rose water. Orange fruit extract, natural AHA and BHA gently exfoliate while nut oil extracts hydrate skin. Made without artificial fragrance, dye or parabens. Great for all skin types, including sensitive skin types.

TO USE: Moisten a cotton pad and gently swipe across the face. Or dispense a few drops into palm and pat onto skin. Decant in a mister to use as refresher throughout the day.

PACKAGING

The sleek box looks very lovely with that different hues of green and blue. The bottle itself comes in a matte green bottle with a twist cap and an inner aluminum seal. It looks very clean and chic and I appreciate that it has tons of information about the product like description, expiration date, ingredient list and directions for use.

I am glad I purchased the deluxe size because it comes in 345 ml bottle which is as huge as a water bottle. That's heavy and bulky enough not to fit on makeup purses. The 85 ml is just perfect for travelling though I still tend to decant small amounts to a spray bottle to use it as a mist or refresher by afternoon.

SCENT, TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

It resembles water in texture and has a faint citrus-y scent which I like, not too strong nor off-putting. Application is super basic--all you need is to tap a generous amount onto a cotton pad and apply it to your face without too much rubbing. Cotton pads help in exfoliation as you can really see traces of dirt and makeup residue afterwards.

It's very basic to use over all, you can apply it with your hands but that won't guarantee it won't drip. I actually had a hard time taking a picture of the product on my palm and by the time I did, there were only a few left. It also defeats the purpose of giving us the 'extra' cleaning and exfoliation unlike when you use it with a cotton pad.

The product does not get absorbed by the skin easily. It feels a bit tacky on the first few minutes and eventually fades away, leaving skin bright, supple and hydrated. I felt mild stinging sensation on the first few uses and my skin eventually adapts to it days after. It's probably because of the natural acids this product is infused with.

PERFORMANCE

With 20 active natural ingredients, I couldn't help wonder how they all fit in one bottle. They may come in small quantities but mixed them together, I don't think I will ever find something as healthy of a skincare product as it sounds. The combination of all natural oils and extracts are just too tempting.

Using it for two weeks, I noticed my skin has brightened up and it also works well with other exfoliation products I use. There were no pimples or acne breakouts but all whiteheads and blackheads I had still exist. It's probably not the best exfoliating toner in the market but I'm glad it's got a lot of other uses--cleanser, toner and a mist!

What I probably don't like about it is that it does not make the rest of  my makeup gets absorb easily. Whatever creams and foundations I apply over it, they take time to settle and they would even tend to look patchy. I know this toner is the culprit as it was the only product I applied after cleansing. Which is why I would advise you to only use it during bed time when your skin is undisturbed from UV rays, makeup and pollution.

I think this is a nice basic toner to give skin the hydration it deserves while also getting rid of impurities on the skin instantly. It's quite affordable given the amount and you can even score this on some online shops out there that offer the lowest price for Korean beauty products.
