[The Face Shop] Lovely ME:EX Bye Bye Dark Circle Concealer 3g, SPF30/PA++ Review


Hey guys, sorry I've been on hiatus for soooo~ long, but now that my exams and school are over, I can blog more=D
Anyways, today I'm going to review The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Bye Bye Dark Circle Concealer 3g, SPF30/PA++ 
I haven't really seen any reviews on this and I have really~ dark circles from lack of sleep and allergies. Anyways what got me interested in this product was the cute design, the mechanics of it, and the fact that it has spf.
Look at how cute it is:
It's an owl, just in case some of you can't figure out what it is=D
This is what the item claims to do:
1. For all skin types
2.This concealer covers dark circles under the eyes, the primary culprit for dull and tired appearance, while brightening the face with a radiance for a vitalized complexion.
3. It adheres in a thin and moist layer to the eye area, prone to dryness and fine lines, to cover dark circle more naturally without patchiness


First off:
Packaging: It comes in this tiny box with the same design that is on the pen, but this owl has dark circles under its eyes haha=D

There's all this stuff in Korean that I don't understand, but maybe somebody else will


SPF 30+++!

Directions:
1. Press the button at the end of container to dispense an adequate amount fro inside brush placed at the front of container.
2.When adequate amount is dispensed onto brush, spread onto dark under eye circles in a fine layers while carefully blending borders and tap lightly to finish
3. Apply at the stage of base makeup after using bb cream or a foundation.
Note: I find it best to just swipe some on my under eye and then use my fingers to blend it in.
Ingredients:

ahhhhh~ I just love packagings>.<
its like a metallic blend of purple 
Brush
Button




The product's coming out


Without concealer:

With concealer

see the patchiness? see that it sinks into my fine lines?



Pros:
Love the design and the mechanics (looks so futuristic)
easily removable
covers dark circles
spf 30
wasn't that expensive because I bought it on ebay

Cons:
does get patchy and cakey if you put too much
it sinks into my fine lines
brush (I wish they made concealer pens with sponges>.>)
has talc as one of its ingredients(but then again lot's of make-up have talc, so if you're okay with that you should be fine with this)
takes a while for the product to come out, so i just keep pressing and then I get too much (partly my fault)
doesn't last throughout the day
Note: After i used this, my eye got swollen the next morning, but I'm not sure if it's due to this because I'm still using it, but nothing is happening now
