Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles

Hi loveys,
How was your Christmas?
The drug store product I'm reviewing is the treatment concealer with goji berry + haloxyl by Maybelline. It claims that it erases dark circles and fine lines while diminishing the puffiness of the eyes. There is 6ml of product and I got it on sale for $6.99 CDN (originally $10.99 CDN).

This is in the colour light. The first time I tried to get the product out was a fail.... I kept twisting the collar of the applicator but the product wouldn't come out. I twisted it probably around.... 15 times until it came out -.-"

Ratings:

Colour/ Coverage: I think this colour 'light' is also good for highlighting. However, the cover isn't that great. This product is good for people who have minimal dark circles under their eyes.


Texture: It's semi build-able, not cakey and 'smooth'.

Odour: This maybe a weird category but I  hate it when some makeup have too strong of a odour especially the face products. This product has no odour.

Packaging:
Pros- I like that the applicator is very soft which is good because you don't want to tug under your eyes. The collar allows you to control how much product you want and the pro about this is that you never can accidentally get too much product out.... well unless you twist it like 15+ times ! It's also very convenient in that there is no need for brush, you could just use your ring finger and blend the product out or if you want, use the applicator.
Cons- The packaging of the applicator isn't very sanitary because you can't wet it to clean it. On the bright side.... it says that it's protected with an anti-microbial system......so it should be clean... ! yay !!

Additional information: For extreme dark circles, apply a neutralizer shade underneath your concealer. Made in U.S.A.


Overall: 4.5/5. I like it cause I don't have very dark circles and it looks natural for me... cause I hate concealers that look very obvious/ cakey.

2011 December Wish List



Hi loveys,

My first blog post, yay ! These are the items I would like to have, but I know not everything on here will be fulfilled because... well.. it's costly haha.

Michael Kors Glitz- Top Chronograph Watch - $250 USD
I just love the rose gold colour. I also like the fact that the Swarovski crystals are embedded on the white pearly dial. So timeless (pun intended) heh...heh.. 
Zara panel/ A-line skirt - $49.90 CAD
These skirts are making a comeback. I remember my mom used to wear them when she was younger. These skirts are so cute and it accentuates the legs. A fashion trend you could pair up this type of skirt with are tights, such as these ones below:

House of Holland Suspender tights (on sale now!) - $20 USD Urban Outfitters (North America)

Forever 21 Floral Garter tights - $7.80 CAD
Forever 21 Canada
T.Babaton Caroline Blouse - $115 CAD
I feel that this style of blouse should be a staple for every woman's closet. You could wear it with a blazer for a more formal look or wear it with a cardigan for a more casual look. I like the sash that drapes over the neckline. I think sometimes a white blouse without detailing looks like a waiter's uniform. However, this blouse has a sash which could be tied into a bow for a cute feminine look..
Talula Betsy Blouse - $50 CAD
 Need I say more? This blouse is so dainty and girly- love it!

Forever 21 Distressed Leatherette Combat Boots - $41.80
For some ass kicking ! Haha jk... combat boots are a popular fashion trend right now. You could pair it almost anything and give that bad-ass vibe.
Miu Miu Bow Satchel - $1195 USD
I saw this bag last year when I went to Las Vegas and fell in love with it. I like the gold hardware against the soft pink. There's a removable strap for a crossbody style or you could just leave it on. The bows on the sides are also really cute. 
Iphone 4s - unknown price
I want an Iphone cause I'm using a Sony Ericsson phone right now and it's so boring..... I want a smart phone. I will probably sign a contract with the phone providers.... hmm...
