Maybelline instant age rewind eraser dark circles concealer

Hey guys, its been a while I know, but what can I say, life got on top of me. Anyway today I am reviewing what seems to be constantly mentioned in the beauty community whether that be by people in the UK or people further afield. This little concealer bottle is coveted by bloggers and you tubers everywhere it being there go to product for under eye circles. Me however, not so much. 

Outer packaging 

The product claims to be a super concentrated and pigmented liquid concealer that along with the ingredients of goji berry and haloxyl with help with puffiness around the eyes but also will help make those dark circles under you eyes disappear. It comes in 6 shades but I bought the lightest shade, which unsurprisingly was called light, I picked it up for £7.99 in my local boots store so it isn't particularly cheap for a drugstore concealer. 
The packaging is interesting with a sponge applicator on the top that disperses the product for you and is meant to be used to apply, you can apply it with your fingers but personally I put this under my eyes using the sponge and then blend it in using my trusty real techniques miracle complexion sponge. The product has a very thin consistency and dries in a powdery finish. 

Comes complete with sponge tip applicator 

Now this is where I start to have my problems with this product, so many people claim it to be a medium coverage concealer, now I don't know whether I got a bad batch of this or what but this is hardly even light coverage on me, I apply this and then still have to apply my naked skin concealer onto and then my foundation before it even starts to cover my circles, applying it just on its own does nothing, and applying it under my foundation does next to nothing so for me this conceales nothing which make the whole product a pretty big dud for me. Due to the powdery finish this can look very dry around the area and you might want to use a primer before applying, it also dries super fast so you need to blend it out fast or you can say goodbye to it looking anything but streaky. 

Overall I really don't like this product, which is why it confused me so much, this is so hyped up on social media that when I bought it was really excited but honestly I wish I had just saved my money instead.
