Hey there fashionistas!! Do you ever feel like you are suffering from lack of sleep?? *raises hands* Between taking care of two children, working full time, spending time with my partner, and investing time into my blog, I just feel like there are not enough hours in the day. Due to this, there are many nights that I stay up past midnight working and still have to get up between 5:30 and 6 a.m. This is a major lack of sleep, when our body really needs 7 to 8 hours.
You may suffer from a lack sleep for many different reasons, but the effects to our faces are almost always the same. There are dark circles, under eye bags, puffiness, or even a combination of these. Some people may not get any symptoms and that is lucky, but whatever the case may be; I am sure you would love a solution. I don’t want dark circles to show up in my pictures, and I’m sure you don’t either.
I never used to be a mask girl, but lately they have become a large part of my beauty regimen. I use sheet masks, clay masks, charcoal mask, and my newest mask, under eye masks. My favorite gel material eye masks for helping relieve puffiness and dark circles are the VII Code Oxygen Eye Masks. Their O2M, oxygen eye mask for dark circles, is made to eliminate both dark circles and puffiness and make your under eyes more plump and smooth.
One box of VII Code Oxygen Eye Masks comes with 6 eye masks and for best results they recommend you do 3 boxes for a total of 18 treatments. What I like best about these masks is that they actually stay put on your eyes and you are supposed to wear them for 8 hours overnight. Then, I wake up feeling refreshed and with zero puffiness. I have very thin skin under my eyes, so I still need to use a bit of corrector and concealer, but not as much as I was using before because I don’t have that sunken in look anymore, or the puffiness like I woke up with an allergic reaction.
All in all, I would say this is a good eye mask and if you suffer from dark circles it will really help you wake up with more refreshed under eyes. The price tag is a bit high on this product though, which is the only downside in my opinion. I would start out with a box of 6 first and see how you like it and go from there. You can purchase VII Code Oxygen Eye Masks from Amazon and use Prime to get 2 day free shipping!!
*Disclosure: This product was sent to me free to review, but all opinions are my own.

OMG I need these in my life. I am so sick of the dark circles I always have under my eyes.
Kristina says
I’m raising my hand! With four kiddos, one including a newborn I could use more sleep. I’m going to see if I can get these on Prime shipping! This is great!
Jessi says
I so need these! With a 4 year old and 7 month old, sleep is not what it used to be lol I will take anything that helps with my dark circles.
Reesa Lewandowski says
OH! I need these so bad!!!!!! I feel like I permanently look like a raccoon now!
karen says
Yes – sign me up for less dark circles! I have never tried eye masks like these – but I am so super curious now!
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says
I really need to give these a try. My dark circles are awful, and I’ve tried literally everything on the market.
Cynthia @craftoflaughter says
I need these! Too many years of working night shifts and not enough sleep now that I don’t has played havoc on my eyes.
Terri Steffes says
I like the concept. I would have to try them to see if I thought they were effective, though. I have dark circles all the time. I would really like to see them work.
Jeanine says
Yep. Need these in my life asap. How awesome. I have 7 kids, i barely sleep and my eyes? the circle? ridiculous!
Tereza says
Oh god I feel SO tired today that I just want to reach out through the screen and grab those eye masks haha! Definitely need to stock up on these x
Cindy Ingalls says
I have noticed that eye masks tend to run at higher price point than sheet masks. Not sure why that is. I’ve tried a few different brands and I do like them especially when I need some depuffing around the eyes.
Ana De- Jesus says
I get puffiness and dark circles under my eyes because I don’t sleep very much. I like the sound of these oxygen eye masks! x
roxy says
I love under eye pads! They definitely help brighten my skin and I wake up feeling wide awake and ready to chase the day. 🙂
Olivia Marie Thibault says
I love under eye masks! I used them first the first time the other week and I saw a dramatic difference and those were ones from Target! I can’t wait to try more out!

Dark eye circles are my tough spot. I have a hard time concealing them. This might be a better long term solution!
Vicky says
I like your idea to start with the smaller package first to see if works for you. I have dark circles and this sounds like something that could really help.
Chel says
I was born with dark circles, and as a mom, they’ve only gotten worse! Look forward to giving these a try.
swenson says
I am a TOTAL mask addict. I’ve never tried those eye masks…Must do so stat!
Jalisa says
I’ve always suffered from puffiness under the eyes. In between that and dark circles. Finding something that can help is always graceful.
Nikki Arnold says
I felt the same way!!
Nikki Arnold says
I hadn’t either, but these are so cool!
Nikki Arnold says
Have you also tried using an orange concealer? I hope you find what really helps for you!!
Nikki Arnold says
Night shift will definitely do that to you!
Nikki Arnold says
Yes I would test out and see if you like them first!! <3
Nikki Arnold says
I felt that way too lol. I definitely have been wearing less makeup after using these.
Jean says
This sounds like a great product! I love using masks (when I remember to do them), and would enjoy trying this one out. I get dark circles under my eyes and a bit of puffiness too, so this would be right up my street.
Nikki Arnold says
Glad I could help Kristina!! 🙂
Nikki Arnold says
They def help you wake up more refreshed!!
Nikki Arnold says
Very cool I’m glad you found some that you liked!!
Nikki Arnold says
I have noticed that too and I’m not quite sure why. Must be due to the ingredients which is why eye cream is more expensive than face moisturizer.
Toughcookiemommy says
I tend to have puffy under eyes in the morning. I would definitely be open to something that improves their appearance on a daily basis.
Orana says
Oh I would love to try these! I have terrible eye bags that I hide behind my glasses.
