Patchology 24k Magic Deluxe Mystery Box August 2020 Review
1 of 2
This kit came with a Patchology-branded bag that can store some of the sheet masks (or other skincare needs!).
Keep Smiling Moodpatch Lip Gel - Retail Value $3
I love the Moodpatch line from Patchology, and the aromatherapy properties of this mask are sweet violet and lavender while coconut extract hydrates your lips. These stay in place when I am chilling out on the couch, and the lavender and violet scent helps me relax. If you're not a fan of scented products I would definitely skip these since they chill out in close proximity to your nose, but I really enjoy them.

Flashpatch Illuminating Eye Gels, 5 ct - Retail Value $15
I love eye gels, and I reach for them even if I don't have particular eye concerns I want to target. These are made with vitamin C, green tea, and mulberry extract to brighten the appearance of dark circles, and they only need to be worn for 5 minutes which makes them great for getting ready in the morning (they also can catch falling eyeshadow when applying eye makeup, which is helpful when I am doing more than one color all over my lid).

Moodpatch Down Time Eye Gels, 5 ct - Retail Value $15
I was hoping some of these eye gels would be in the mystery box- I'll take all of the Moodpatches! The aromatherapy in these bad boys is a blend of calendula, lavender, and evening primrose. The calendula helps with inflammation, the evening primrose helps to soften and tone skin, and the lavender helps me zen out and relax. Along with soothing the appearance of tired eyes, these were a perfect pair to the Moodpatch lip gel for a face for a bliss.
As soon as I applied these I started to relax.

Little Helper Supplement, 6 ct - Retail Value $12
I really didn't love the taste of these (they reminded me of cold syrup), but wow did they work. The patch dissolves in a few seconds the way some of the Listerine mouth wash strips do, and then within about 20 minutes, I went from wanting to take a Sunday nap to having enough energy that made me want to tackle washing my makeup brushes. As someone who frequently has low energy but never developed a taste for coffee, these worked well enough that I want to re-purchase more to have when the afternoon slump hits me at work.
FlashMasque Illuminate 5-Minute Sheet Mask, 2 ct - Retail Value $16 ($8 each)
I didn't know that there were skincare products out there that worked well enough to make my boyfriend notice, but he unpromptedly told me that my face was “glowing” when I had used this mask an hour before I saw him. That lives up to the 'illuminate" name of these masks, and the ingredients combo of vitamin C, licorice, grapefruit extract, and panthenol worked to hydrate and brighten my skin after only wearing this mask for a few minutes- 5, to be exact. Sign me up, I need ten more.

Breakout Box 3-in-1 Acne Treatment Kit - Retail Value $20
I literally came so close to purchasing this about a week or so before this box arrived, so I was stoked to see it in the kit. Inside the kit are 3 blackhead eliminating nose strips, 24 pimple shrinking salicylic acid dots, and 24 whitehead absorbing acne dots, along with two storage patches to store the acne dots in. I love the combination of a targeted acne treatment dot and then following up with a hydrocolloid patch once the pimple came up to a head. The dots had great adhesive so I had no trouble leaving them on overnight, and I really appreciate being able to store the open dots in the included pouches (I have definitely lost acne patches after using only one or two because the see-through nature of the patches). I don't normally reach for nose strips, but I love and trust Patchology so I gave them a shot. I do feel like there was some gunk taken out of my face, but the stars of this kit are the acne dots for sure.

Restoring Night Cloudmasque, 0.2 oz - Estimated Value $8 (Buy the 1 oz version for $40)
I loved the texture of this moisturizer- it was thick and reminded me of poking firm pudding thanks to the whipped texture (is that too descriptive?). This night cream has the star ingredients hyaluronic acid, retinol, and peptides as well as niacinamide and 17 plant extracts, so it has a whole host of ingredients to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. When I woke up after using this the night before, my skin wasn't dry or irritated. Overall, I really enjoyed this.

Daily Gel Moisturizer Aquaflash, 0.2 oz - Estimated Value $4.20 (Buy the 1.7 oz version for $35)
This is a much more lightweight moisturizer compared to the night cream, but it still has a great ingredients list. This gel moisturizer is made with neem tree extract, hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, aloe vera, and fermented yeast. It sank into my skin quickly without leaving it sticky, and it layered well on top of my serums and under my sunscreen.
Verdict: I am a huge Patchology fan, so I have been itching to grab a mystery box from Patchology for a while. This was an incredibly satisfying box for me- between getting a product I seriously almost purchased the week before along with more of my beloved Moodpatches and discovering the supplement strips, I am a happy camper. Value-wise, Patchology promised a "$100-ish" value and everything in the box added up to $93.20. That is a few dollars short, but the personal value is there for me.
