Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Concealer + Treatment #50 Neutralizer

Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Concealer + Treatment (whew! Say that 3 times fast!) in #50 Neutralizer is a cream concealer that dries down to a matte finish and stays put all day.  The product is dispensed through a sponge-tipped applicator and this is what seems to polarize people; they either love it or loathe it.  I personally LOVE it!  Sure, you have to crank it approximately 387 times the first time you use it to get the product to finally emerge victoriously from the sponge, but after that, a crank or 2 every couple of days and you're golden.  I've been using this product every day for the past several weeks and I've had it crease in the late afternoons a few times by the outer corners of my eyes when my skin has been slightly oiler.  I apply it directly to my face, smooth it out with my fingers, and voila: "What dark circles?  I got 10 hours of restorative, peaceful sleep last night!"

For me, this product is wonderful.  The sponge-tip really allows the product to smooth onto the skin easily and blending is a dream.  I can really tell the difference in photographs when I'm wearing it; my skin looks very even and my eyes bright, even after nights when I've only clocked 4 hours of sleep.  I liked this product so much, I bought one for my mom.  She's been using it for about a week and said she loves it!

The sponge-tipped applicator seems to draw ire from some, but I've had zero problems with it and the product itself is excellent.  This product has completely replaced my MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter  which has been my go-to under eye product for about a year.  The MAC product retails for $24.00 while the Maybelline concealer is $9.99; that's $14.00 in savings every time I repurchase.  Yay!

My rating: B+

Price: $9.99
