When people ask me about the best products for (insert whatever beauty ailment you’re dealing with), I almost always ask the same, annoying question — “Are you getting enough sleep?”

I promise you, as someone who owns a closet full of beauty gadgets and serums, there is nothing short of a facelift that can make you look more rested than actual rest. However, if you can’t swing that (I often can’t), there’s another fix and it’s grace & Stella’s eye masks.

The Post Wanted team has written about them numerous times, and not just because readers love them, but because they actually depuff and brighten dark circles — two major giveaways you’re not getting enough sleep.

My favorite from the brand (the Illuminating Eye Masks) is currently 27% off at Amazon, and along with being loaded with moisturizing hyaluronic acid, they have niacinamide to firm and plump. Whenever I want to “treat myself” or simply disguise the fact I was up all night rewatching “IT: Welcome To Derry“, I put them on.

Before grace & Stella Under Eye Masks were on my radar, I wasn’t big into under eye patches. They’re messy, never stay in place, and in my opinion, rarely deliver the promised results. But when I saw how many ratings these had on Amazon (more than 41,000), plus read the reviews, curiosity and my need to fake eight hours of sleep got the best of me.

Ingredient-wise, the patches are solid. Along with the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, they also contain camellia sinensis — bontonist speak for green tea, which depuffs, thanks to its naturally occurring caffeine. Throw in some rosemary extract to fight fine lines and some hydrating glycerine, and you basically have a recipe that banishes panda eyes.

“These under eye patches are amazing,” wrote one reviewer on Amazon. “They feel so cooling and refreshing and really help reduce puffiness and tired-looking eyes. My under-eye area looks brighter and more hydrated after using them, and they stay in place without sliding around. Perfect for self-care, before makeup, or when you just need a quick pick-me-up.”

Honestly, I couldn’t agree with her more and plan to stock up while they’re nearly 30% off.


If you’re someone who thinks they don’t have time for skincare, consider these the perfect “entryway” into showing yourself some TLC. They’re quick (less than 15 minutes), require minimal effort and provide just enough hydration so those pesky fine lines and crepey skin look less noticeable.

More than 20,000 shoppers have already added the grace & Stella Under Eye Masks to their cart this month, and I’d be willing to bet that similar numbers will appear in January. Really, they’re that good.
