Hey ladies!
Oh my GOSH! I have found the holy grail of all under eye concealers! Where has this amazing product been all my life?!
Let me start by saying I have wicked genetic dark circles. There isn't any amount of sleep, or under eye cream that helps with this hot mess I have going on. Those dark circles are exacerbated by my two children, namely my littlest one who has yet to sleep through the night. It has been about a year and a half since I've had a full nights sleep. I am one tired mama. And it shows dramatically under my eyes.
I have tried every under eye cream, concealer, high end, drugstore, old wives tale, or natural remedy, known to (wo)man. Nothing has worked. If I got the coverage I was looking for, I ended up with those icky creases or that crepey looking skin. You know what I'm talking about. If it was smooth and creamy and left my skin dewy and fresh looking, the coverage was minimal or it was sliding off my face. There was no magic product.
Until... (drum roll please) "Bye Bye Under Eye" Anti- Aging Concealer by It Cosmetics!
I will never EVER not have this product in my life again. I tried it on a (very skeptical) whim. Of course I read reviews, as I always do, and they claimed this product was amazing, but I'd read similar reviews on other products that were a flop for me and my dark circles.
But first, how did this product come into my life? I try to keep up with all that's new in beauty, but sometimes I miss things. So, I did an internet search for best under eye concealer's (2016) and was sad to see I'd tried nearly all of the products mentioned. Except the It Cosmetics "Bye Bye Under Eye". After reading countless user reviews, I decided to take the plunge!
I went to my local Ulta but was super disappointed to find that they didn't carry this product in store, at least not in my local store. I really wanted to test it out before purchasing it. The sales associate on the floor was a lovely help and suggested another product and even offered to apply it for me, I knew immediately I didn't like it. It creased before I was out of the chair and it gave me that dry crepey look before I was out to my car. So I went home and ordered "Bye Bye Under Eye" online. Luckily Ulta ships super fast and I had it in less than a week. Also, Ulta has an amazing return policy, so I knew if I hated the product, I could return it. I hate doing that though, so I always try to get things in store where I can swatch and test them out if possible.
It was love at first sight for me and this concealer. Having used it for about a month now, I can offer a well informed review.
The consistency of this concealer is unlike any that I've tried before! It has a tacky, almost sticky, feel. I hate to say that because it sounds unpleasant, but I promise it isn't. That tacky feel, accounts for why this stuff does NOT move. After I applied the concealer with just my ring finger and lightly blended the edges with a beauty blender, I set it with the thinnest layer of translucent powder. It lasted all day with zero creasing! It didn't age me one bit either! I've since applied it without setting it with any powder and the finish was equally as amazing. It literally erases my dark circles!

Before and After
It comes in a tube which I prefer to a pump because I have even more control of exactly how much product I am using. I don't necessarily mind doe foot applicators, but I'm not a huge fan of using something on my skin and then constantly returning it to the container. I applied the TINIEST amount to the back of my hand. And ladies! This tiny smaller-than-a-pea sized drop, was too much product for my intense dark circles! This product is going to last FOREVER!
I highly recommend giving this a try if you struggle with dark under eyes. Especially if you're like me and you've struggled with this issue your whole life, or you just want something to wake up your face. It's a game changer for me and I am an It Cosmetics fan for life now. I can't wait to try out some of their other products, if they're all as amazing as this one, I feel like I've found a pot of beauty gold!
Like the box says, "you are beautiful" (dark circles and all)!
That's all for today!
Love,
Kate
