Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind: Eraser Dark Circles Review


Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind: Eraser Dark Circle is a great product! Many of you have probably heard about the raving that this product has received and for a good reason as well! This highly pigmented product really shocked me and I will soon be needing to repurchase this product. 

As far as the product itself goes, I love it. The packaging however is a problem to me. The first no no that stands out is the puffy top. The applicator is basically a place for bacteria and dirt to harvest which causes breakouts. However, an easy solution would be to take off the applicator! This was very easy to do, and I would highly suggest this.

Another problem is that although to get the product is to twist (which is honestly very simple and easy), there is a lot of left over product left over in the bottle. I had tried to somehow open the top but I have had no success. The only way to get the extra product in the bottle would be to break it.

Overall, the product is fantastic, however the packaging is its greatest downfall. Although the applicator is an easy fix, all the wasted product is a slight pet peeve. Despite this, I will say that I am going to repurchase this as soon as I run out!

Farewell, my dollops of sunshine!

Maybelline's: The Falsies (Waterproof)



The reason why I purchased this mascara is because my Lash Stiletto Mascara by Maybelline had dried out, and I figured it was due time I tried a new one!

This mascara has gotten many mixed reviews, varying from a great mascara to a not so great mascara. Along with holding volume, it makes my lashes thicker and longer. It may be because I have the waterproof version that it holds my curl, but like almost all mascaras, I need the waterproof version. The formula is not as thick as your usual mascaras, but it still adds a bit of thickness to the lashes. It also is very dark, so if you don't have the darkest lashes, this would be good to use.
Although it is not very visible in this picture, the brush is curved and has bristle brush. It does cause clumps, and the best technique would be just to apply it fast and not too many layers or else you will get a lot of clumps and lashes sticking together which is not a look which most people are looking for.

I like to use this mascara because it does hold the curl and it doesn't flake much. I don't think I will repurchase it, simply because I do like the Lash stiletto one better because it does not clump.  I do like the formula of the falsies mascara. Maybe if it were paired with a different brush, I would continue to purchase it.
