Laura Mercier Secret undereye Concealer

This isn't my first time buying this product. I tried it a few times but never had any luck.
It would cake and not blend into my skin at all.
But I decided to give this product another chance and experimented with different ways of applying this.

What technique works for me:
1. Apply a moisturizer and Khiels Avocado eye cream
2. warm up the concealer on the back of my hand A LOT
3. apply the concealer on my hand to my undereyes (no more then 2 coats)
4. Use a fluffy brush to apply a translucent powder to set the concealer!
*This concealer is similar in texture to the bobbi brown creamy concealer. But this concealer is more of a salmon/peach color then a yellow tone.

Psst Dry Shampoo

LOVEEEEE this dry shampoo! Its a complete life saver :)
Its cheap, easy and leaves your hair feeling clean and bouncy.

How to use: 
1. shake can
2. spray on hair where you feel your hair is greasy
3. leave it for a minute or so
4. brush hair until you can't see the white residue any longer

Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles


I bought this product in the lightest shade and the Neutralizer.
After trying this product for the first time I actually really liked it.
As weeks went on I realized it left a weird appearance under my eyes (even with a moisturizing eye cream). Almost as if it was separating and not staying on.
The coverage was only okay. Nothing special.
The packaging is honestly stupid; its a  unsanitary, spongey top that you twist to get the product out. After several minutes of twisting and waiting, the product finally comes out.
For some reason my applicator broke off and wont properly close now (i lost a lot of product too).
Although I'm not in love with this product, I probably will continue to use it because the coverage is decent.
Pros:
- Available at drugstores
- Has neutralizer and brightener shades
- Decent coverage

Cons:
- Bad applicator/packaging
- weird texture that can separate on the skin
