I do agree that maybe the packaging isn't the best. Luckily if it's from Sephora you don't have to just throw it away, you can take it back and try something different!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-81720746132151154652008-02-28T22:52:00.000-05:002008-02-28T22:52:00.000-05:00I don't remember you having dark circles...I think...I don't remember you having dark circles...<BR/><BR/>I think someone commenting must have stock in TheBalm!tmp00https://www.blogger.com/profile/07394341047945443955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-34690703871223475412008-02-28T15:04:00.000-05:002008-02-28T15:04:00.000-05:00I totally agree with you on this!

Otherwise you'd notice I don't have any posts gushing about MAC.<BR/>I blog about products and other things that interest me, which includes small, independent companies. If I have an agenda other than looking good and smelling fabulous, it is to support niche brands. When they deserve it, that is.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-17160721584855521682008-02-28T14:11:00.000-05:002008-02-28T14:11:00.000-05:00Kelly- I agree.

It needs to cover and blend seamlessly with your skin and any other makeup you're wearing. If it doesn't- move on.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-74570064038830594362008-02-28T12:07:00.000-05:002008-02-28T12:07:00.000-05:00dear anonymous - sounds to me as though she wanted...dear anonymous - sounds to me as though she wanted it to work - she bought it. you don't usually spend money in the hopes that you will be wasting it.<BR/><BR/>and, it is her blog, which means she can gush over and trash anything she wants. most of us are able to sort others' opinions from our own. for instance, i much prefer nars to mac, but if someone's gung-ho for mac, that's okay with me. i can choose to read or skip the gushing. or the trashing. <BR/><BR/>i appreciate hearing from other consumers how products work or don't work - so i'll file this away in my brain for the next time i think i need a concealer. <BR/><BR/>finally, there is no "objective" in opining. that's the point. it's an opinion, which we all have. - minetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-13146345030710585802008-02-28T10:19:00.000-05:002008-02-28T10:19:00.000-05:00Yes, funny you should say this.

It's easy to trash an obscure brand no one cares about, thus showing how "objective" you are, while you can still gush and froth at the mouth about MAC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-30968962375778600932008-02-28T05:50:00.000-05:002008-02-28T05:50:00.000-05:00I don;t like the packaging either.

If the product is fabulous it doesn't matter, but in this case it looks like they could have made the package more refined since the product isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-76605267648522238122008-02-28T02:35:00.000-05:002008-02-28T02:35:00.000-05:00Ha!

It's funny you should say this -- I bought it in Light/Medium, hoping it would work for me, and tried it with a concealer brush (which I bought expressly for using with this). Nope. Tried it with my fingers and wasn't very pleased with it; I even turned and asked my mom, "Is it totally obvious that I'm wearing concealer under my eyes?" She said no, but it looked strange to me. (Maybe it's because I don't use concealer very often?) <BR/><BR/>So I'm glad it's not just me. I really wanted it to work, but I'm finding it really lacking. I guess it's back to my DuWop concealer stick for me.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771683090050232308noreply@blogger.com
