Or as I like to say, “how you can look like you slept eight hours even though you’re still hungover.” Kidding!

My friend Meg introduce this to me after  complained that I could never get enough coverage on my dark under eye circles. Imagine looking tired…all the time. So after a little prodding from her, I got went to get this and now it’s one of my makeup “must haves.” Like, it’s almost as important to me as mascara and SPF.

What I like about it: It has a nice cooling affect on the skin so it feels refreshing when you put it on. It also is light so it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and blends really well. It also goes well with just about any kind of foundation because the tint it provides isn’t heavy either. And you don’t need to put on a lot of it to get the desired affects, which is to make your eye look brighter. Personally, I wear this stuff especially on business trips when I don’t sleep a lot but don’t want to look like I’ve been out all night the next day

What I didn’t like about it: Honestly, nothing. Except maybe that I can’t apply it to other parts of my body :)

Cost: $18

So that’s my inaugural review! This page is still a work in progress so the scope of the reviews may change per product but when I decided to start this, I KNEW this would be my first one.

Again, this is definitely one of my favorite products. I wish I could just run around and hand it out to everyone so they could try it too :)

Have you all tried this before? If so what did you think?

    Do you have tips on how to apply – I have this product, but it doesn’t seem to do anything for me, I’m not sure if I’m using it right…would you still put coverup under/over this?

    I think that I totally need to try this!

    Awesome! I’m always on a hunt for good under-eye concealer to hid my (genetic) dark circles.

    I had some smashbox tinted moisturizer I absolutely loved but I’m not sure if it’s sold in Australia!

    I will have to try this. I’ve been using Bobbi Brown’s corrector for undereye circles, but it’s a little heavier than I’d like. Plus, the cooling effect is tantalizing. By the way, love the new site!
