Sephora: The Essential Beauty Product I Buy On Repeat

Sephora – The Only Beauty Product I’ve been buying On Repeat For 4 Years

SHISEIDO Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask

Essential Beauty Product

SHISEIDO Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask is the essential beauty product I always buy on repeat from Sephora. I truly love these luxurious anti-aging eye masks. I currently have a box of them in my fridge. I’m never without this product. Never.

I buy a lot of different products from Sephora, unfortunately, many of them are just a one time purchase.

I was looking through my purchase history (shown in images below), and I noticed that SHISEIDO’s Benefiance Retinol Eye Mask is the product I’ve loyally purchased without hesitation for over 4 years.

Sis, I got receipts:

(Shown above) The first time I bought the $70 box (includes 12 packets) was in 5/2016. I make this pricey purchase from Sephora because I benefit from accumulating rewards points.

SHISEIDO Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Mask is a very popular Sephora product with 418 reviews and 51.3K hearts.

(In image above & below) Oh my gosh, do you guys remember when Sephora used to offer 3 samples per purchase? As recently as 2017, they were still offering 3 samples, unfortunately now it’s only two.

Sephora once offered a small version of this popular product, they were 3 eye masks for $17.50 (shown in image below), that’s how they hooked me. Unfortunately, they no longer offer the more affordable option, which is a bummer because it was a great way to sample the product without investing $70.

Shiseido Eye Masks

These Shiseido eye masks are pricey, I know. There are 12 packets in one box for $70, which makes each pack about $5.80.

I don’t use these eye masks every day, in fact, I don’t even use them once a week. These are my go-to essential eye masks that I use on special occasions/emergency situations only. The night before a big event, I give myself a DIY facial and then I use a pack of these retinol eye masks, the next day I look like solid gold.

I have other sheet masks that I use regularly, but these Shiseido eye patches I use only once or twice a month. That’s why a box can last me like 9 months because I use them sparingly.

Also this Shiseido product is a 2017 Allure beauty award winner (for more Allure beauty award content, click here) It has that coveted red award winning seal. This award winning product has not disappointed me, and it’s been a staple in my skincare arsenal.

So, I leave the patches under my eyes for 15 minutes, and then I place both patches on my forehead or my laugh lines for a few more minutes. Also, I scoop out any residual product that’s in the pack, and I pat it all over my face and décolletage.

This product leaves my skin smooth and plump. My eyes look rested and radiant. I love the way my makeup looks when I use them, it has a great priming effect. The retinol is gentle and not drying. The cotton eye patches are aptly soaked with serum, and they never slide away from my under eye area.

Sephora skincare must-have

Sephora Product I Buy On Repeat

There is fragrance in this product, but I can’t really smell it. It’d be nice if Shiseido offered a fragrance free option. I have very sensitive skin, and thankfully, this product has never irritated me at all.

For me, this product is not a long term solution for my anti-aging concerns. I use a tretinoin that is prescribed to me by my dermatologist for long term goals. I also use a variety of serums, creams, and oils for my daily skincare.

These retinol eye masks are a short term solution, a quick fix. Didn’t get enough sleep and you look destroyed? Boom, use these eye masks. Gotta job interview in the morning? Bam, wear these the night before, and look fabulous the next day.

I last purchased these from Sephora on 1/27/2020, and I still have ten left, in two months I’ve only used two. These bougie eye masks are a splurge, but they will always be a beauty essential that I buy on repeat.
