Always Get Your Best Beauty Sleep: TANGCISON Eye Mask Sleep Mask

· 5 Comments

 

An airport hotel I frequent has amazing amenities including high-thread-count sheets, cutting-edge electronics, and a complimentary bottle of wine. The downside: the lights from the airport runway keep me up all night! That’s why I was thrilled to try out the TANGCISON Eye Mask Sleep Mask.

ABOUT THE TANGCISON EYE MASK SLEEP MASK SET

There are two eye sleep masks in this set, one royal blue, one black.

Royal Blue TANGCISON Eye Mask Sleep Mask

 

Black TANGCISON Eye Mask Sleep Mask

MATERIAL

Each eye mask is made of high-density memory foam that consists of bamboo and cotton, so it stays cool all night and is incredibly comfortable, and it completely blocks out the light!

Soft cotton and bamboo does not irritate even the most sensitive skin

The material combination of cotton and bamboo feels is soft and not at all scratchy to the delicate orbital skin area. It is breathable so it never feels too heavy on your face, even in warm and sticky weather.

DRAWSTRING BAG

The two Sleeping Masks comes in a lovely drawstring travel pouch that fits easily in my purse or suitcase. Keep one at home and one in your travel bag.

The soft yet contoured mask retains shape even when folded in its' portable drawstring bag

The set has two masks, each with its’ own drawstring bag

3-D CONTOURED DESIGN ADVANTAGES

It has a molded 3-D fit so it doesn’t touch my eyes or damage my eyelashes, and it fits gently over the nose without compressing my nose or sinuses.

Contoured mask fits securely but comfortably over the nose and face to block all light

IDEAL FOR DAYTIME CAT NAPS WITH MAKEUP

Another perk of the TANGCISION Eye Mask Sleep Mask is the contour of the eye shape allows enough room as not to smear or disturb your eye makeup if you are wearing it while traveling to a destination.

Ample contoured orbital pockets allow for not disturbing your eye makeup or eye creams while resting

KEEP EYE CREAMS IN PLACE AT NIGHT

Most sleep masks fit too close to the undereye area to utilize both a sleep mask and an eye cream. Moisturizing skin while traveling is essential, as most trains, planes, and hotels have forced dry air, which dries out the skin faster. The contour of the TANGCISION Eye Mask Sleep Mask allows your orbital eye area plenty of room if you use treatment serums, topicals or other eye creams at night or while traveling, and these creams will not get on your sleep mask or transfer onto your pillow.

Another advantage is blocking our creams and serums you wish to keep away from the eye area while you sleep. These include eye irritants such as lightening creams or acne medications that tend to rub off onto our pillows and then around the eye area as we sleep. This will not happen with this eye mask.

Alternatively, if you choose to use an under eye gel patches or silicone pads on your under eyes, such as those made for dark circles while you catch a few winks mid-day or during the night, this sleep mask is large enough to accommodate them but it also will not slip around on your face, so your eye treatment pads or patches will stay in place.

Plenty of rooms for your creams or patches to breathe and do their job to make your eyes look their best

ADJUSTABLE STRAP WITH NO-HAIR-PULLING VELCRO

I love the adjustable velcro strap so I can get the perfect fit to my head! Not too tight, not too loose, and it does not leave an indent “bump” mark on my hair in the morning. The velcro is made of a special material so that the “teeth” do not catch hair, which is a huge perk for getting comfortable sleep. The straps do not slip.

The velcro is also very stretchy and durable.

Special velcro teeth won’t catch or pull hair for the most comfortable fit and wear while sleeping

 

Contoured to fit around the nose without leaving marks on the skin

Stretchy elastic does not leave a bump or dent on the hair when worn overnight

Very durable and stretchy band to keep the mask securely in place without being too tight or pulling on the hair or skin

CONCLUSION

No product can beat what good beauty sleep can do.  Make sure you look and feel the best you can by making the most of your sleep whether you are at home or away or even traveling to your destination on an overnight flight or catching a few extra winks on your morning train commute. The TANGCISON Eye Mask Sleep Mask Set comes with two comfortable, breathable cotton and bamboo fabric in an innovative 3D contoured shape that is not only comfortable but allows you to keep your makeup by day or eye creams by night in place without smudging onto the sleep mask itself. The set of two masks each have their own drawstring bag so you can use them anywhere.

Better Beauty Sleep: Building Better Bedding with HOMFY

· 9 Comments

You spend (hopefully) eight hours asleep. That is eight hours that your hair and skin are in contact with sheets, pillowcases, comforters, and blankets. It is also eight hours that your hair and skin can either be subjected to friction and irritation, or to gentle, soft comfort. We prefer the latter, which is why we love HOMFY Bedding.

A good night's sleep on Homfy Sheet Set

Keep your skin and hair in good condition with Homfy Sheet Set as you get a great night’s sleep

 

WHY WE LIKE THE HOMFY SHEET SET

It is soft and luxurious feeling against my skin and my hair easily glides over it, almost like a silk pillowcase. I don’t wake up with “pillow face” thanks to the soft microfiber. It is so gentle on skin!

I also don’t wake up with staticky or frizzy hair. I can style my hair at night and it is as smooth and glossy the next morning as it was when I went to bed!

Other features of the HOMFY Sheet Set:

  •  Made with 100% Polyester Microfiber, it is soft and breathable, giving you comfort against your skin. The fabric is fade, shrink and wrinkle resistant
  • 4 PIECE BED SHEET SET INCLUDES – Flat sheet (90’’ x 102’’), Fitted Sheet (60’’ x 80’’ x 18’’) and Set of 2 Pillow Cases (20’’ x 30’’)
  • DEEP POCKET(18″) DESIGN – The fitted sheet is designed with deep pockets (18’’) with elastic all around, making it snugly fit the mattress. I like this feature since my mattress has a high loft.
  • EASY CARE – Gentle cycle, tumble dry on low heat and do not bleach
  • HOMFY offers 24 months warranty from the date of the purchase with any issues
  • Comes in a variety of beautiful colors! I really like the white because it is so crisp looking, though. It’s like going to bed in one of those gorgeous Instagram bed pictures every night!

HOMFY pillowcase closeup

The sheets feel really good too. On hot nights there are cool and don’t cling to you, and on cold nights they provide warmth thanks to the microfiber!

What I love the most about these sheets? They are hypoallergenic, which makes them perfect for sensitive skin. The Microfiber also protects against dust mites and mildew.

Sheet fabric close up

I love how the crisp white sheets brighten up and tie together a dark background and vibrant colors!

 

Homfy

Right now the HOMFY bed sheets are on sale for $29.99, which is a great deal for such an amazing set.

 

HOMFY 100% COTTON QUEEN COMFORTER

But it is getting cold out, isn’t it? Time to add a luxurious comforter, like the HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter.

Nothing is as inviting as a Down Comforter on a chilly winter night. Ever stay at a boutique hotel and love the high-end bedding? The HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter reminds me of luxury hotel quality bedding in both design, stitching, quality, and comfort. The box stitched design keeps the fill weight evenly distributed with no leakage for a comfortable, soft, fluffy bed. Hypo-allergenic, light-weight and soft, it is an affordable luxury item that makes for much better night’s sleep.

We’ve had a real cold streak lately here in New England, and this blanket has kept me toasty warm while still being lightweight and comfortable. It’s a high quality, similar to when I stayed at a boutique Omni Hotel who has fantastic luxury bedding in all their guest rooms. The HOMFY 100% Cotton Queen Comforter is not scratchy or stiff; it is soft, very fluffy and full. It also isn’t too heavy.

WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT IT

It is made with Down Alternative Microfiber fill, so it is hypoallergenic! So like the sheets, it is also dust mite and mildew resistant!

It is also SO FLUFFY without being cumbersome. It fluffs up more from laying it out and allowing it to fluff up a bit. But it could be used directly out of the package. And since it is hypoallergic, you don’t need to air it out before use!

The HOMFY Sheets and Down Alternative Comforter is so luxurious, you'll want to stay in bed all day!

The HOMFY Sheets and Down Alternative Comforter is so luxurious, you’ll want to stay in bed all day!

 

There are also corner tabs to secure it in place. I put a beautiful gold silk duvet cover over it, and it didn’t slide around in the cover, which is great!

Home Decor: Microfiber Sherpa Blanket by Bedsure

· Leave a Comment

Want the warmth of a comforter but the cozy softness of a blanket? Hate how stiff, heavy and bulky some comforters feel?  Want a stylish yet cozy throw for watching movies on the couch or reading a good book?  We love the microfiber Sherpa Blankets and Throws by Bedsure. 

Bedsure Sherpa Blanket in Olive

My Bedsure Sherpa Blanket in Olive Green. It makes reading a book by the fireplace cozy and warm without being bulky or cumbersome.

DESIGN & FABRIC: WHAT MAKES BEDSURE UNIQUE

The blanket has a reversible design with a soft flannel face on one side and a plush Sherpa on the reverse side. The flannel top is 220 GSM, which is the grams per square meter, the measurement of the weight of a fabric. The higher the weight of a fabric, the more expensive that fabric is. For reference, a t-shirt is generally around 100 to 130 GSM. The Sherpa reverse is 280 GSM. This is an optimal weight balance of being a quality fabric that tends to be more expensive, while still being comfortable enough to not feel too heavy or bulky. It is a shrink-resistant fabric.

MY BEDSURE EXPERIENCE

I ordered the 60×80 inch blankets and a 50×60 inch throw size is also available.

COLOR CHOICES

I selected two of the many beautiful color choices and they arrived true to the pictures. There are several color options available including Navy, Brown, Light Grey, Light Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Dark Grey, Olive Green, and Washed Blue.

SOFT LUXE YET LIGHT WEIGHT SHERPA

The blanket and throw are advertised as “All Season” and, from my experience, I would agree. We had a couple of unseasonably cold nights recently and, upon finding myself unexpectedly freezing in the middle of the night (with the heavy winter blankets already stored away), remembered the newly arrived and as yet unpacked Sherpa blanket in the corner, which provided a very pleasant rescue. Despite being as light as a cloud, it was delightfully warm and cozy.

 

Perfect for unexpectedly chilly spring and summer evenings or for use with the air conditioner

Perfect for unexpectedly chilly spring and summer nights!

It was only the following morning that just how attractive the blanket is became of interest. It looked every bit as good as it was pictured and, in my opinion, even better. The flat side has a slight sheen and features a nicely finished four-inch border with mitered corners. The reversible “Sherpa” side is a deeply-textured microfiber representation of the homespun wool from which it takes its’ name. Sherpa faux-fur fabric alone sells in the $15- a -yard range, making this quality blanket with these dimensions quite a bargain.

The soft fluffy

The soft fluffy Sherpa is warm yet lightweight with well-made mitered corners

While there is a superior body to the fabric, it’s at the same time, as I’d mentioned, lightweight. Being a person who likes some cover even in hot weather, I’m looking forward to (and I understand my anticipation will be realized by Wednesday of this week when the weather is projected to be especially warm) using the Sherpa blanket when its’ warm enough to turn on the air conditioner.

Note the quality of the Sherpa fabric and the soft luxe velvety look and feel of the reverse side

Another feature that I love is there are no scratchy edges to any seam or stitching. The face and reverse are bound with decorative knit-trim edging that gives a luxe look and feels well made. I like having no loose strings or stitching. 

Non-scratch seams and binding for optimal comfort

ALTERNATE WEAVE PATTERNS

The throws not only come in different colors but different textured weave patterns including a navy and a dark gray knit that has a cabled sweater type pattern, and the ivory throw has an Irish knit look I find very appealing for having on the Queen Anne style chair in my library.  I definitely want to add one of the textured- basket weave models as either another blanket or a throw.  I’m so pleased with the two I did choose and now have an excuse to get another!

So cozy and inviting for a good nights' rest

BEDSURE’S GUARANTEE

BedSure offers a 30-day return and replacement service, plus a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty.

USES

Ideal for a year round blanket for extra cozy warmth, the Bedsure blanket is lovely for personal use or makes a guest feel luxuriously pampered in a guest room.  I love how it coordinates with warm autumn colors as seen here, and the olive green makes florals really pop. The luxe feel adds visual texture that compliments so many bedding fabrics and is very appealing to the touch!

The Bedsure throws and blankets are also suitable for use on a favorite TV chair or couch for streaming movies, or to stay warm while reading a good book by the fireplace in the winter, for extra warmth in the car, and a to have as a spare blanket in a guest bedroom to pamper your guests.

The Bedsure Sherpa Blanket is perfect for cuddling up by the fireplace with a good book!

  • A zippered tote
Cosy House Bamboo Sheet Set

Cosy House Collection Bamboo Sheet Set in the color “Baby Blue” is perfect for a springtime look and feel to your bedroom

FABRIC: WHAT COSY HOUSE COLLECTION BAMBOO BED SHEETS ARE MADE OF

Cosy House Collection Bamboo Bed Sheets are a silky Microfiber Blended with Rayon that is made from Bamboo. The result is a combed soft, silky yet durable combination.

HOW COSY HOUSE COLLECTION BAMBOO BED SHEETS LOOK

We got the Queen size “Baby Blue,” a bright color just in time for spring. Contrary to the name, they are not juvenile looking, they are vibrant and look beautiful with other pastels, brights, or sea greens, sandy browns, whites and blues for a beach house bedroom look. The sheet set is available in several vibrant colors including Black, White, Cream, Burgundy, Gold, Lavender, Taupe, Baby Blue, Grey, Chocolate, Tan, Purple, Royal Blue, Sage Green, Dark Teal, and Navy Blue. I love all the vibrant colors that can mix and match with your style and personal collections to make a statement in a bedroom, and they are so versatile.

The sheets are available in Twin, Full, Queen, King and California King sizing. I find my Queen set to fit well on both my bed and my pull-out couch for guests.

HOW COSY HOUSE COLLECTION BAMBOO BED SHEETS FEEL

The sheets are a fabric blend of 40% rayon made from bamboo and 60% microfiber polyester. The microfiber feels silky, and the bamboo feels very soft. Bamboo sounds like it would be scratchy and uncomfortable, but it makes for soft, durable fabric that is hypoallergenic and very comfortable to sleep upon.

So soft and silky smooth to the touch!

Not only are they comfortable to sleep on, but they are wonderfully cozy for lounging around on a relaxing Sunday morning, having a leisurely breakfast while watching a movie or catching up on a good book.

ABOUT BAMBOO IN BEDDING

If you have found microfiber comfortable to sleep on but flimsy and unable to withstand washing, you will like this set because it has the soft combed comfort of microfiber, but the Bamboo makes them durable. They hold up to laundering in the washer and dryer without frayed stitching, fading or shrinkage. The elastic retains its’ strong tension springy-ness without stretching out or fraying even after washing and drying.

The sheets are also stain and wrinkle resistant.

The properties of bamboo make for an excellent bedding fabric because of its’ softness, strength, durability, anti-microbial and ability to keep a hypoallergenic environment that is as clean as possible.

Cosy House offers soft bamboo bedding items

HOW THEY FIT THE BED

In addition to how soft and durable these sheets are, one of my favorite features of this Cosy House Collection sheet set is that the elastic on the fitted bottom sheet is so durable. It is elasticized all around, so it stays put on my deep pillowtop mattress all night without needing to refit the bottom sheet again each morning. The deep pocket fitted bottom sheet is 39″ x 75″ and easily fits on oversize mattresses or mattresses with an egg crate, foam or another mattress topper that is up to 16″ deep in total. There is also a bit of stretchy give.

Another feature I like is how the pillowcases have a special fold-over design to secure the pillow inside the case so that the pillow does not slip out during the night.

Special internal pocket and flap keeps even long pillows in place

HYPOALLERGENIC

Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic. These sheets resist pollen, dust mites & harmful bacteria. Suitable for those with allergies and asthma, both children and adults.

PUTTING COSY HOUSE COLLECTION BAMBOO BED SHEETS TO THE TEST IN WARM WEATHER & COOLER TEMPERATURES

A very desirable feature of the Cosy House Bamboo Bed Sheets is that they are breathable. This makes them cooler to sleep on in the summer and warmer in the winter. Bamboo absorbs moisture four times better than cotton, wicking and evaporating it away from the skin. Here in New England this week, we had a few very chilly nights and a few days we reached temperatures in the high seventies, and I found these sheets and the pillowcase to be refreshingly cool when it was too warm yet remain cozy when I was chilly. This makes for a perfect year-round sheet set or for these transitional temperature times of the year.

The breathable Cosy House Bamboo Sheets are ideal for the fluctuating temperatures of spring in New England

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wash in cold water with similar colors, air dry or low heat.

GUARANTEE

The Cosy House Collection sheets come with a Full Lifetime Warranty. If you do not like these sheets, contact Cosy House (see the contact information on the packaging) and they will refund or replace your sheet set.

Soft, comfortable, silky, durable, hypoallergenic, wrinkle and stain resistant, these sheets fit deep mattresses up to 16″ with a bottom sheet with sturdy elastic all the way around, not just on the corners.
