Self-care is so important to make a priority amidst our busy schedules, and for myself, having a great skincare routine is key to this. I find solace in the little luxuries—be it a rejuvenating face mask, nourishing oil, or the radiant glow from my Solawave Light Therapy Wand. Eye masks can be one of the most rejuvenating skincare products out there, as wearing them creates an intentional moment of self-care that works to hydrate, de-puff, and tighten under-eyes in minutes. Enter the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks: More than just visually stunning, they also promise seven benefits to leave you fully refreshed. I decided to give them a try to see if they live up to the hype—read on for my full review of these luxe-feeling under-eye masks.

About My Skin: On the dry side

My skin constantly craves hydration, and considering the delicate nature of the under-eye area, I'm particular about the products I apply there. I avoid using eye products with fragrance or an excess of ingredients. Some of my favorites are the e.l.f Holy Hydration! Eye Cream and the Pur Cosmetics Rescue C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Eye Cream. 

Although I don't have dark circles, I often appear tired, so I've decided to concentrate on tightening, de-puffing, and plumping the under-eye region. The Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks assert their ability to achieve these results, so I diligently used all six pairs over a three-week period.

The Feel: Comfortable and hydrating

I love how each pair of eye masks is individually wrapped, making for a fresh experience every time. Due to the included serums, the masks can feel a bit slimy upon opening, but it's the kind of sensation that you know will feel nice on the skin. The mask is sturdy and easy to place under the eye area.

Upon applying the masks, I instantly felt a cooling effect, and they didn't move or slip, which was amazing since that's happened to me with some other under-eye patches. I was able to walk around without worrying that the patches would fall off. The mask feels slightly tight on the skin as the serum starts to work its magic, but not in an uncomfortable way. It left a bit of residue, which I simply patted around my eyes and face.

The Ingredients: Antioxidants and moisturizing properties

To achieve multiple benefits in one step, the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks feature several gentle yet effective ingredients that help with hydration, de-puffing, tightening, and more.

• Hyaluronic acid: One of the most popular skincare ingredients, hyaluronic acid is beloved for its hydrating and healing properties. With these masks, the hydration helps revive tired under-eyes while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Aloe leaf extract: Another ingredient that can help with dry and irritated skin, aloe works in this product to cool, soothe, de-puff, and rejuvenate the under-eye area.
• Calendula extract: An anti-inflammatory ingredient, calendula has a soothing and calming effect, which is great for sensitive skin types and anyone with tired or irritated under-eyes.
• Amino acids: In skincare, amino acids most commonly work to plump, smooth, and protect. Here, a blend of 17 of them helps maintain the skin's hydration, texture, and healthy appearance.
• Glycerin: This ingredient attracts moisture to the under-eye area (and anywhere on the skin you apply it), providing a hydration boost. It also aids in improving the skin's barrier function and protects against irritants.
• Beta-glucan: Known for its skin-soothing properties, beta-glucan contributes to a calming effect, reducing the appearance of puffiness. It can also aid in reducing and delaying signs of aging.

The Results: Radiant, hydrated under-eyes

My first time using the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks made me feel like I was at a spa. The masks themselves are generously sized and have a good grip, so I didn't have to worry about them falling off my face. The gold finish makes for a luxe-feeling self-care moment, but it's more than just looks: The foil is one of three layers (the others being elastic and cellulose) that work together to effectively deliver the myriad of skin ingredients. The masks are saturated with serum, but they don't feel overly wet and not too much excess is left over at the end. Around the 10-minute mark, the mask begins feeling slightly tight, which isn't uncomfortable but rather gives the impression that it's actively working.

Immediately upon removing my first pair of masks—which was easy and didn't tug at the skin—my under-eye area felt so soft and hydrated. As I continued to use all six under-eye masks, I noticed that my puffiness decreased and the consistent hydration made my under-eyes feel soft and smooth. In the end, my under-eye area was noticeably plumper and brighter.

The Value: A worthwhile luxury

The Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Under Eye Masks retail at $26. Compared to other brands, this price point is slightly higher, but the masks' luxurious feel and powerful ingredients make them like a mini spa session for your eyes. Think of them as your secret weapon for combating the toll of late nights and early mornings, plus you can't beat the convenience and ease of use: Just pop them on and let them work their magic while you work through the rest of your routine or catch up on your latest Netflix binge. The best part? You'll immediately notice a visible difference in hydration and brightness, giving a fresh-faced look even after a late night. So go ahead, treat yourself to a little luxury—your under-eyes will thank you.
