Review: Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser Treatment and Concealer
I have been bone tired - dragging my ass tired lately. One of the fun
side effects of arthritis is lack of sleep and it is starting to show. You can
always tell when I am tired because I have a little eye bag that pops up under
my right eye when I am tired. So I have been on the hunt for something that
will brighten my face so I look awake and one that maybe will help with that
little puffiness. Enter Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser Treatment and
Concealer.
This product has been hyped about for the past year so I
decided to give it a try. I got it in the shade Light which is a tad lighter
than my skin tone but I did want it primarily for brightening.
As you can see the concealer comes with a sponge puff
applicator that you have to twist to get the product to come up. To get the
product started I had to turn it like 20 times! Now it just takes 2 turns to
get product to come up. I like the idea of the sponge puff as it make
application a dream but... Even though Maybelline states that the puff
has been treated with an anti-microbial treatment, I still am a little scared
of germs building up on it. But I have been using it for a month and have had
no breakouts or flesh eating disease HAHA.
I find this concealer is just creamy enough – not runny
at all nor is it thick. It is also very easy to blend out. I would say the coverage runs medium for me.
It definitely would not be enough to cover my freckles but is perfect to cover
any dark circles I am sporting that day.
Does it help with puffiness? I think so. I mean I do
notice it has a ‘cooling’ effect
under my eyes and that little bag I get does seem to diminish. So I would say
yeah it does help with puffiness.
The Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser works great
to brighten up my face if I am looking bagged out. I apply in a V under my eyes
and blend in with a blending brush and pat with my finger under my eye.
I do notice that this only seems to last about 6 hours on
me. But if I am tired I kind of touch the area under my eyes a lot. I hate
actually touching my eyes but I do touch the area underneath. Why? I do not know. Initially it doesn't settle into the fine lines I am getting under my eyes. But at that 6 hour mark I do notice a bit of settling. To be fair, that also happens with most foundation I use too. But you really have to look to see it. I don't set the under eye area with any powder as I haven't found anything that doesn't enhance the fine lines under my eyes.
Overall it is a good dark circle concealer and works
wonders at brightening up the face. But I would use something else if you need
more coverage for blemishes (or freckles) though.
Have you tried the Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle
Eraser?

I have been curious about this product as I don't need too much coverage just enough to make me look not quite as tired. You look great though! I love seeing your beautiful face :)
