Disappointing products #7: Essence - Say NO to Dark Circles


Hello! Today I want to talk about a product that didn't work for me at all. It's by Essence and it's theirs Say NO to dark circles colour correcting concealer in shade 30 Bright rosé. I really have problems with my under eye area and I wanted to give it a try and see if this will do anything for me. Usually my under eye area gets a bit grey, blue-ish and purplish and I wanted to see if this would work, layered under and on top covered with another concealer that would be colour matching with my foundation.

Packaging of the product is simple and easy to use, plastic cap on top, colour of the packaging matching the colour of the product. Also good if you bought all three colour correcting concealers they offer, so you can easily pick the right one out. You can twist at the bottom to get more product out. Contains 2,9 grams of product and is good for another 12 months after opening. The price is 2,19 euros in Slovenia and it's pretty reasonable. It would be a perfect catch if it also worked.

It's a pinky concealer shaped in a pencil, doesn't need any sharpening and is easy to use and apply. What it's supposed to do? Cover your under eye area and especially cover your dark cirles.

What it actually does? Well, nothing. I used it just on my under eye area and blended it well, than applied my other concealer to match it up with my foundation and it didn't work well. The concealer just glided with the brush and my second concealer and it stuck to my brush all together and it didn't work at all. Than I tried applying only this one and cover the bright pink colour with powder, still didn't work as my dark circles were still visible and the product really creased. The creasing was visible within one hour of application. On me this product creases no matter what base I apply. I tried some face creams as I was just testing them, I tried my Oriflame eye cream, I tried Etude House primer and MaxFactor primer and well, the end result was always the same. So I stopped using the product and I must admit I really don't like it. It dissapointed me as it doesn't work for me at all. I did not notice even a slightest change so I must say this was a complete waste of money. 








Hope this review was helpful to you! Let me know if you tried this and it worked for you? :) Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly

  1. I've never heard of this product before! When I first clicked onto your blog, I saw by the title of it this product was disappointing, then when I read what the product was called, I thought it was too good to be true! It would have been amazing if it worked like it should have! Oh well, great review though, and your photographs are such high quality x

  2. Jaz imam od Catrice paletko 5 concealerjev in mi zeleni in roza isto nič ne naredita, roza se čisto skrije ko zblendiraš, zeleni pa ostane zelo zelen tudi če dam puder čez :(

    1. Hmm zgleda da tile roza korektorji niso preveč dobri, ne od Essence ne od Catrice... :(
