It looks promising. The concealer looks a bit more peachy than normal which is a good thing for me. If any of you have tried it, what type of coverage and
finish does this give? Does it make your mascara/liner run and smudge?
Thanks. Jen |

I haven't tried this but would love to hear a review if you or someone else does purchase it. I've been using a Clinique concealer for years and
haven't really found anything I like better but I'm always interested to hear if someone has tried something new.

Only one review on MUA for it but it's a good review. I haven't seen this but will be on the lookout. I won't buy it until I hear from some others that they like it but I'm always on the lookout for the latest and greatest to cover my wretched undereye area. Jen, the one reviewer on MUA said she powdered over it with not one, but two products so I'm wondering if it might be too greasy? I'm sure if we
wait a week we'll get some more input on this one. Or you can just go and buy it and let us know what you think!

I did stop at CVS after work tonight and had this in my hand to purchase, until I noticed Almay's new Bright Eyes concealer and shadow base. I ended up
buying the Almay instead. Hey, I'm a gemini and I change my mind alot. What can I say.
When I finally made it home I put some on and even though it's early in the game, I really like the Almay. It comes in a squeeze tube with a brush tip. The squeeze tube might be a little tricky, but I did OK with it, although I don't know how much product is going to be wasted once I get low on this. Out of all the concealers I've tried I can say that this does not look cakey or heavy at all. It truly did not accentuate my dry/fine (VERY fine I might add  )
lines. And I did not need to use much which suprised me because my circles are pretty dark, imo. It is a little more on the peachy side to me. The finish dries
matte and it feels like it is long wearing. It was $8.99 but I'm sure it's cheaper at Wal-Mart.
I also bought the Rimmel Glameyes mascara that people are raving about. It did not smudge with this conceler. That's usually a problem for me. My lashes look a bit longer that what they do with CG Lash Blast. All in all, a good test run for me. I'm rather impressed. Now I'm glad I didn't try the Revlon concealer as I bet it is too greasy.

Thanks for the Almay review. Keep us posted after you've used it for a few days o.k.?

Shari-Glad I have someone that knows about that gemini fickleness. It's tough sometimes. I read somewhere that the reason a gemini changes their mind so
much is because one of our planets, our ruling planet I think, travels the fastest through each "cycle" out of all the other signs ruling planets.
Don't know how true it is, but I thought I share some trivea.
I just posted a seperate review on it and will update that post over the weekend. |

That's so interesting! I thought it was just because we're crazy! I'll be looking for your update on the Almay concealer.

I did not know that about Virgos. A couple of my very best friends growing up were Virgos. That must have been one reason why we were very good friends.
