DIY: Eye Gel Patches/Masks

-
EN

Sorry for keeping you waiting but this previous announced DIY (+ video) is finally here: green tea/lemon eye gel patches!

I always see girls and their beauty hauls involving cool nifty stuff such as these jelly eye masks and I really want to try them out because eye areas is delicate and it should be treated with the best care, right?

Apart that I use eye cream and masks, I can hardly find any masks/patches that are specially for eye areas in my country. Or I must be blind? Nonetheless, it has build up motivations to make my own eye gel patches!

With green tea powder and lemon!
After a little research on the internet, I have found out that green tea helps reduces puffy eyes and dark circles and that lemon in general is great in fading out scars! What a lovely combo and how nice to be able to make it at home!

I hope you try them out too and thanks for watching my video!

Sorry voor het lange wachten, maar dit eerder aangekondigd DIY (+ video) is eindelijk hier: groene thee / citroen oog gel maskers!

Ik zie altijd meisjes en hun leuke aankoopjes met o.a. leuke ogende hebbedingen zoals jelly oogmaskers, ietwat ik altijd al wilde uitproberen, want je ogen zijn teer en moet worden behandeld met de beste zorg, nietwaar?

Inderdaad!

Afgezien dat ik oogcrème en maskers gebruik, kan ik bijna geen maskers die speciaal voor ogen bedoeld zijn vinden in onze kikkerland. Of ik moet stekeblind zijn. Hoe dan ook, het heeft me zeker gemotiveerd om mijn eigen creaties te maken, deze oog gel maskertjes!  

Met groene thee poeder en citroen!
Na een beetje huiswerk gedaan te hebben op het internet, heb ik ontdekt dat groene thee helpt het verminderen van gezwollen ogen en donkere kringen en dat citroen in het algemeen een held is in het vervagen van littekens! Wat een mooie combo en hoe leuk dat je gewoon thuis aan de slag kan!

Ik hoop dat je ze uitprobeer en alvast bedankt voor het kijken van mn video!


You'll need: 1 tbsp. green tea powder, 1 tsp. agar agar, 1 good squeeze of lemon juice, 100 ml boiling water


Pssst it's vegan friendly!

Once I opened this Jellybean package and saw these cover lids, I already knew these lids would be great molds c:

      Hello! It's important to let the agar-agar greentea mixture to cool down a bit. Then pour it into the mould and let it continue set in the fridge. Good luck!

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
