this is another long overdue post. i do need to keep good tab on my stash and use it and then write the review down as soon as i can. i bought this while in japan. i didn't know what scent that i'd like, so i didn't buy any on my first store. but on my second visit to other store, i found a box of mix scents, all 4 scents, so i bought the mix so i can try all 4 scents then decided which one is my favorite. this is a best-selling eye heating mask, which is intriguing since i don't find any other product like this. and many people always recommend buying this product when you go to japan, so naturally, i want to try it myself. so let's find out about this one.
this is the description from their singapore website: developed with japan's unique and innovative steam heat technology, meg rhythm steam eye mask is a self-warming steam eye mask which produces comfortable steam heat. the abundance of comfortable 40°C steam heat produced gently envelopes your eyes to relieve and relax strained eyes and eases away tensions to soothe your stressful moods.
relieve eye strain and work stress! long working hours and a heavy workload can leave you with strained eyes and feeling stressed out. indulge in a well-deserved relaxation after a hard day's of work!
3 comfort features of meg rhythm steam eye mask: abundance of warm steam, warms up quickly, comfortable feeling lasts 2x longer.
the packaging: since i bought the mix box one, it comes in a big black box with the the same design as the individual scented ones, but this time there's a big text that probably said that there are 4 scents in a box (the text is in japanese). there's also the picture of all 4 scents in tiny boxes. at the sides you can see some pictorial description about the usage suggestion and a bunch of other description in japanese. inside you can find individual packaging, 5 from each scents, so there will be total 20 sachets. for yuzu, you can see a banner with picture of yuzu at the top of the sachet. the other part is totally the same for all 4.
the scent: it smells like yuzu. or other citrusy fruit. the scent is definitely noticeable, but not too overwhelming in my opinion. i never try any yuzu products before, so considering this comes from someone who has sensitive nose, i would say that the scent is refreshing and relaxing. you can smell it right after you open the sachet, but you can barely smell it once you put the mask on your eyes.
the product: after ripping off the sachet, you can find a soft cotton eye mask. you need to rip the perforated line at the back so you can separate the ear holes. i don't know what it is made of, but the material for the earloop is really soft. the mask itself has purple quilt pattern at front and from the back you can see the circular heating pad. the mask starts to heat up immediately after you open it and it will reach its highest temperature in about 5 minutes. it will stay hot for about 20 minute-ish (it's hard to remember the time when you have to close your eyes and do nothing for the whole time). then it will start cooling down. the ear loop is quite loose so sometimes i feel i can feel the heat better if i push the nose part down.
the result: it's definitely soothing for aching eyes, but i don't see any noticeable effect. at that time i don't have swollen eyes or anything, so it's just something that you can feel, not noticeable.
i do enjoy the warming sensation since it's relaxing and soothing, plus the scent is also plays part in giving added relaxation sensation. but i don't like how i have to keep my eyes close for the whole time i'm using it. but that's the point of this mask anyway. to give your eyes some rest! so i agree that it's best to use before bedtime, during travelling or break time. i do enjoy the yuzu, so i will try other scent and decide which one i like best. as for the price, i think it's still affordable, but the price might different if you get it outside japan or online. if you found other product similar to this one, let me know so i can try it if i could find it and compare it with this one.
