eye love this right now!


i am always on the hunt for a better concealer. as i've said, i have the worst dark circles ever. it's blackness under my eyes no matter how much sleep or rest i get. my friends try to be nice and tell me it's not bad, but the harsh truth is: it is that bad. i feel like i've tried everything. one time at the lancôme counter the makeup artist suggested i put pink lipliner and then concealer over it. sounds crazy, right? but i tried it because i hoped it would help. i am not sure how long i did it before i realized, 1) it wasn't working (i really wanted it to), 2) it was a lot of work rubbing pink lipliner under my eyes (the lipliner on it's own was really pretty, but i dont use lipliner) and 3) i looked like one of the zombies from 28 days later. i'd heard that the cle de peau concealer was amazing so i tried it at saks, but $65 seemed pretty steep--especially because after a few weeks, i give up on the product i am currently using and try to find something better. then i remembered reading somewhere (no clue where) that the max factor erase concealer was the cheap version of the clea de peau--and i have to admit, it's been working pretty well. i like the lipstick shape, it helps get right in the corners and under the lashes. plus for $4, it wont break the bank if i decide i want to try something else.
