Covergirl & Olay - Simply Ageless Eye Concealer: Review

Aloha everyone!

Okay, I was not interested in buying this product whatsoever, because I already have my staple eye concealer and eye brightener - Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer - but I completely got sucked into buying this one the other day. No rhyme or reason, it was purely an impulse buy. Bad me. Anyways, so many people have raved about it and I can sort of see why, but I'm still not 100% sold on it . . . Perhaps by the time I finish this pot I may repurchase, but we'll see.

First of all, I am the most pale person on the face of the Earth I'm pretty sure and I think this shade (205) is even a little bit too light for me. I don't dare put it on top of my foundation, because you can definitely tell a colour difference, so instead I've been applying it right before I put on my foundation and it does actually blend in quite nicely. The thing that I do absolutely LOVE about this product as compared to other eye concealers is that it is moisturizing and so creamy to apply. It's literally like butter so it feels nice on the skin. Most eye concealers are pretty drying and for a person with naturally dry skin, that isn't a good thing haha.

I don't think it's the best brightener for the eyes - I do still prefer my dream lumi - but it does brighten my eyes up A BIT. I mean, it does a good enough job that I don't look like a total zombie, so I'll take what I can get. I think it may brighten my eyes better if I was actually wearing the proper shade for my skin tone . . . But whatever, we'll just pretend for now.

Usually I recommend products I review, but I don't honestly know if I want to recommend this just yet. I mean, if you have dry skin perhaps I would recommend this one to you because it has Olay moisturizer in it, but that's about it. I have a 4 month old son, so my skin and eyes usually look pretty sleepy and dull and I do tend to reach for my dream lumi when I look like the walking dead, but this product does an OK job... It would suffice if I had nothing else to use.

I'm actually really curious to see if I'll repurchase this product once I use this pot up. I think if I do, it'll be because I'm hooked on the creaminess of it. As I mentioned before, my skin is naturally super dry so if I'm having a bad skin day, make up can look very flakey and gross on, but I haven't found that my eyes have looked like that since using this product. I'm going to keep experimenting with different shades and amounts of this eye concealer, so if I find one that I absolutely fall in love with I'll be sure to do an updated review on this. 

I was actually expecting this review to be longer . . . But apparently I've said everything I can about this haha! If you have tried this product, let me know what you thought/ think of it! I'm kind of upset that I don't love it as much as everyone else in the blogging community! :(
