These viral Amazon eye masks help make my bags look 'less puffy' — and they're on sale right now
Like many people, I struggle with tired, puffy eyes when I wake up in the morning, regardless of how long I've slept. Also, my habit of late-night scrolling through social media for recipes and D.I.Y. projects I'll probably never do doesn't help the situation. But I'm also a busy mom of two young kids, and keeping up with their activities can be exhausting. And chances are, I won't be escaping the dark circles anytime soon. Quick shop: Tried & Tested by Yahoo Canada I have a drawer full of eye masks I can turn to whenever I need a quick pick-me-up, but the results aren't consistent, and most do little to relieve my under-eye bags. I felt a twinge of hope when I discovered the bestselling Grace & Stella Eye Masks, advertised as an "energy drink for your eyes." The best part? The brand is Canadian! Tried & Tested by Yahoo Canada These sea moss and hyaluronic acid-infused eye masks help give your eyes the refresh they need. These 'super hydrating' masks have thousands of five-star reviews and are a favourite of Jessica Alba — and they're 30 per cent off right now. But did they deliver? Read below and find out if I found these vegan eye masks to be "magic" or just meh. The details These under-eye masks contain moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, sea moss, amino acids and glycerin, all working together to help keep your eyes hydrated and smooth. Just moments after applying, the ingredients get to work, and within 20 minutes, you will have refreshed and rejuvenated under-eyes. The cooling and anti-inflammatory hydrogel masks work quickly to reduce puffiness and brighten the delicate under-eye area. In addition to the gold, the masks are also offered in pink and blue. Looking for a mask that helps with wrinkles and is energizing? Go for the gold. More concerned about hydrating and soothing? Blue is for you. All about boosting collagen? Think pink. The vegan, dermatologist-tested patches are also paraben- and sulphate-free. More like this: This vitamin C serum leaves skin 'glowing' — and it's only $20 on Amazon Canada I'm almost 50. This 'game-changer' anti-aging serum is my secret to looking younger I bought a bunch of cheap dresses from Amazon for summer — one was a cut above the rest What I like about them Sleep deprived? No one will ever know: After staying up late to work on a project (i.e. binge-watching "The Bear") and only getting three hours of sleep, I had to rush to an audition across town. I put these on while I was enjoying my morning coffee, and 30 minutes later, all evidence of my sleepless night was erased. Mind you, I was still exhausted, but luckily, on camera, no one could tell. They're virtually fragrance-free: There's nothing more unsettling than a face or eye mask with a very strong scent. These are practically fragrance-free, and that's fine with me! They soften fine lines: I don't have a ton of lines on my face (thank you, retinol), but the ones I do have are mostly around my eyes. If I get less than six hours of sleep, which is usually the case, those fine lines really pop. I put these on, and my crow's feet visibly soften. Mind you, they don't disappear, but they don't stick out, which works for me. Tried & Tested by Yahoo Canada Great packaging: The individual packages are super convenient to throw in your bag for on-the-go use. Also, I never waste the remaining solution the masks are submerged in. The way it's packaged, I can easily remove the formula from the pouch and apply it directly to my face for all-over hydration. Room for improvement Sensitive skin? You might want to avoid: The first time I used these under-eye masks, I did feel a little bit of discomfort and experienced some redness; however, it was less and less after each application. My friend, on the other hand, has really sensitive skin and she could only keep them on for 10 minutes. These babies like to move: The masks have a tendency to slide out of position, which can be annoying if you like to wear them while doing other things, like me. They tear easily: Be careful removing the patches from the packaging as they are delicate and tear easily. What others are saying ⭐️ 4.2/5 stars 💬 34,000 ratings 🏆 "Super hydrating" These "super hydrating" masks were a huge hit with a 44-year-old who puts them on during their morning commute to work. Another reviewer called them "magic," reducing "99 per cent of the puffiness" and leaving their skin looking "fresh and healthy." Tried & Tested by Yahoo Canada They're a "good break" for "tired eyes," wrote a third shopper, who did mention the masks "slide down" sometimes. Another reviewer raved that these "must-have" masks are the "real deal." After using them, their under eyes were "more hydrated" and immediately "less puffy." However, one user with sensitive skin found the masks "irritating" and was disappointed they made their skin "burn," removing them after only a verdict As a sleep-deprived mom who relishes her late nights, these Grace & Stella Eye Masks and I are in it for the long haul. I have never used a mask that so visibly improves the appearance of my eyes, reducing the puffiness and fine lines after just one use. It's not a panacea, and the dark circles start to creep back in as the day goes on, but for a few hours, my 47-year-old eyes look more youthful and awake. And being 30 per cent off right now, they're down to just $28. Keep in mind it may take a bit of time for more sensitive skin to adjust to the hydrogel formula, but if you can stick it out, I promise it will be so worth it.

‘This summer's story': sitcom Too Much gives nighties a starring role
In the first episode of Lena Dunham's new Netflix sitcom Too Much, viewers might be taken with cameos from Dunham, Jessica Alba and the model Emily Ratajkowski, or the burgeoning romance between Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe. But – as far as fashion is concerned – it's nighties that have a starring role. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Early in the episode, Stalter wears a short frilled red nightie, with her dog in a matching design. Later, she wears a white frilled floor-length design, and it's clear the item is something of a signature. If it's a cute quirk for a character, it's also in line with wider trends. Pyjamas have come out of the bedroom and into daywear over the last decade. Nighties might be in line to perform the same trick. The actor Daisy Edgar-Jones and model Kaia Gerber have worn nightdresses in daylight, with Gerber collaborating with the California-inspired brand Dôen last year to create her own. Sabrina Carpenter is known for her babydoll nighties, while Addison Rae wore a nightie-like dress for her performance at Coachella. Most people will still associate pyjamas and nighties with bed – a private space which has, until recently, been free from fashion trends. A survey by YouGov in 2022 found that most people in the UK slept in pyjamas (47%) while 20% slept in their underwear and 20% slept naked. Post-pandemic, clothing worn at home is much more on the radar of fashion. Like Parker Posey's in The White Lotus, Stalter's nightie is likely to prompt others to think about switching from pyjamas when turning out the light. The design, which costs £130, is made by a British nightie brand If Only If. Its owner, Emily Campbell – who also provided the fabric for the dog's nightie – says the popularity is already increasing. 'Our annual growth is between 80% and 90% and this year is looking to be more,' she says. She anticipates that Too Much will increase the demand, although she won't alter her small-batch production model. 'They will sell out,' she says. 'I'm fine with that. I'm never going to over-produce and have a load of nightgowns left over.' The high street is also seeing more interest in the nightie. John Lewis reports searches for 'nightdress' increased by 21% from 2024 to 2025, with sales up 14%. Cotton designs – such as a £34 white seersucker nightie – are particularly popular this summer. The heatwave might well be a factor for a rise in popularity – cotton nighties are a cool option. If Only If was founded by Campbell's mother, Issy Falkner, who was going through menopause at the time. 'I think that definitely had a bearing on her wanting to wear natural materials,' says Campbell. The brand's cotton is organic, and 'just the most beautiful thing to sleep in'. If Too Much is the latest example of the nightie on screen, other notable moments include Sofia Coppola's first film, The Virgin Suicides, and Grace Kelly's nightwear in Rear Window. These moments are documented on the Instagram account Nightgowns in Cinema. 'Nightgowns have charm and grace,' the account's founder says. 'They make you feel like an old Hollywood star about to dramatically crash into silky bedsheets and cry, [or] like a 2000s teen girl about to call her best friend from a spiral-cord phone.' In recent years, pyjamas have dominated romcom screen time – as worn by Bridget Jones in the original 2001 film – and they remain a popular bedtime choice. Another trend at John Lewis is mix-and-match designs – with sales up 55%. Marks & Spencer, meanwhile, reports that pyjamas with shorts are popular, with sales up 20% this year. Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Naomi Pike, a commissioning editor at Elle UK, has about 20 pairs of pyjamas. 'It helps how I sleep,' she says, 'if I have clean pyjamas that fit well, feel good.' She buys two or three sizes up for extra comfort. Meanwhile, the Nightgowns in Cinema founder – despite their love of the nightie – wears an oversized T-shirt and shorts to bed. '[Nighties] make me feel trapped,' they say. 'We admire them, but when it's time for real rest, we always reach for the comfiest and safest option.' Of course, an alternative is nighties making the move from bed to daywear. 'It feels like it will be this summer's story,' says Pike. 'They feel quite gentle … we all need a bit more gentleness.' If, up till now, sightings of the nightie trend has been limited to thin celebrities, Stalter will open the trend up. 'It can bring liberation to people who aren't used to seeing their figure on the screen so much,' says Pike. 'I think it could encourage [people to] think 'Oh, I'm a curvier figure and I can still wear this trend, and I will wear this trend, and this is how I can wear it.'' This article was amended on 14 July 2025. An earlier version said If Not If made the dog's nightie in Too Much; however, while they provided the fabric, the nightwear was created by the show's design team. Also, some personal details have been removed.
