Bucky 40 Blinks Sleep Mask review

The Bucky 40 Blinks Sleep Mask is the budget pick. Bucky, a Seattle company founded in 1992, sells it for $16.99 list, and it was on sale for $12.74 when we checked. The mask is molded foam with eye cups about 0.5 in deep, so you can blink without touching the mask, and Bucky says the cups protect lash extensions and will not smudge makeup. It measures about 9 in wide and 3 in tall, is hypoallergenic and latex free, and has an adjustable strap. The low price comes with honest limits on Bucky's own page: it recommends replacing the mask every 3 to 6 months, it must be hand washed cold and laid flat to dry, and it is not recommended with facial oils or creams. That makes it a sensible spare for a carry-on rather than a mask to keep for years. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the mask.
