Concealer Palette Review ++ SWATCHES! Inexpensive and Full Coverage

Hey guys! So I just recently bought this product about 2 weeks ago! I filmed a review video on it which is at my YOUTUBE CHANNEL LINK HERE. But in that video I promised you guys a swatch blog post, so that is what I am doing today! You can purchase this palette for $2.99 on AMAZON LINK HERE. Lets get into the swatches!

So for the packaging, it is nice and sleek and very compact! Great for traveling and not bulky. The only downside and you will see in the next picture is there is no mirror. It is hinged and it does stay up on its own.

As you can tell I have used this, I was thinking I should clean it up but, nah I want to be real! I have used the highlighter, color correctors and two of the concealers. You get 12 concealers, 2 color correctors and 1 highlighter!

Here is the palette from the top looking down. As you can see I have already hit pan on the 2 concealer shades I use. But I think that is mainly because I just keep applying a lot! haha

The first swatch is of the highlighter. This is very subtle but very natural. Normally these shades are never wearable but this one is! Great consistency as well.

Now I have pictured the 2 color correctors. These are great as well! Now just a little reminder green is for redness and pink is for dark spots, circles etc. These work wonderfully. I even recommend to use the pink if you are fair like me and I mean ghost white, as a concealer by itself. It will really help to brighten! These are very creamy just like every other product in here!

Starting at the top that is the concealer I use under my eyes! These are all nice and hydrating, but you do have to set these with powder, but what's new? I use that middle color sometimes to blend out my concealer into my foundation. The bottom shade I haven't used but I am going to see if these work as eyeshadow primers!

Now these shades I have not used for anything. But these are still very creamy and very pigmented!

Same goes for these, I haven't used these shades but again very creamy! This palette would be great for freelance makeup artists.

These are the last 3 colors in the palette. The top one I use for bronzing and I think the middle shade would be great for contouring for myself and all the other pale princesses. They are all very creamy and extremely opaque as you can tell by the photos!


So those are the swatches and for a $2.99 you just can't beat that price. I absolutely would recommend this to anyone! If you are just starting out with cream products or if you want to find something affordable for your collection!!! I hope you enjoyed.

Look A Like Sigma Brushes DUPES - Review

Coastal Scents Hot Pots + SWATCHES and MAC Dupes and Review!

Hey guys! If you haven't seen my haul video for this then CLICK HERE. If your here because of the haul video then welcome! lol If you'd like you can subscribe to my blog and all that fun stuff! But lets get on with the pictures, shall we? :) If you would like to purchase these then CLICK HERE! Ok lets get started dolls!

So first off to begin on the website it says that Hot Pots are a 1-inch metal pan and that If you get one of their customizable palettes they will magnetize to them! These normally retail for .1.95 each but right now they are on sale for .99 and shipping was only about 3.00!! So go and get you some eyeshadows girls!! :) <3

Ok so the first color I picked was Peachy Copper.

Out of all the ones I ordered this was one that I could have lived with out. It is on the sheer side and it also has a lot of fall out to it. It is very similar to the other one I got called Bright Copper which I will talk about later on. Overall I would'nt recommend purchasing this one but any of the others are fabulous!

Here is a swatch of Peachy Copper: These are taken outside on an overcast day. It does have a nice amount of pigmentation but it just had a lot of fall out issues. The color is very buildable. On the website the color is described as a shimmery light copper hue and that is exactly what it is. It does state on the website that it is Semi-Opaque, which is exactly right. Also someone down below in the review section said that it is very similar to MAC's expensive pink.

The next one I choose was Bright Copper:

So compared to Peachy Copper I would definitely recommend you getting this one. They are very similar but this one is more opaque and very smooth and easy to blend. This could also be a dupe for MAC's expensive pink. But I love this one and it is seriously one of my favorites!

So here is a swatch of Bright Copper. On the website they desscribe the color as a metallic copper hue with a shimmer finish. It is beautiful and prefect for the fall time. I can't explain enough to you guys how amazing they are!! :)

Moving on to Amber Bronze:

Again I love this color it is amazing. They describe this as a rustic bronze hue with a shimmer finish and it is super opaque. I think that this is a great bronze shade for fall and again it is so smooth! I love it.

So here is Amber Bronze swatched. Again all of my swatches were taken outside on an overcast day. But this just has a great bronze sheen to it and super opaque as you can see!

Next is Aluminum Taupe:

This is another one of my all time favorites! I love this color sooooo much. On the website it is described as a sark, metallic silver hue with a shimmer finish and I somewhat agree with that but this color isn't dark. It is like a metallic silvery taupe and I am just in love with it. It is just perfect for me haha! :)

So here it is swatched and I just love the satin finish it has. They describe it on the website as Semi-Opaque which I would agree with but these is no fall out issues for this one. The color is also very buildable! It is a great basic color to have in your collection, I think anyway!

Next is Sunset Gold:

This is a very opaque creamy color! I love it and super easy to blend. This gold is more on the orange side and it is again great for the fall time.

Here is Sunset Gold swatched. On the website it i described as a golden bronze hue with a shimmer finish. Which is how I would describe this color too. Very smooth and a really great color especially if you aren't a fan of a brighter yellow like 18 Karat Gold is, which I will be talking about next. Also on a few reviews about this color on the website they said that it was like MAC's Amber Lights and I do agree with that!

Ok so here is 18 Karat Gold:

As you can see compared to Sunset Gold it is a lot brighter and more of a yellow gold. This one again, very pigmented and no fall out. It is so smooth and I just really like this color fall.

Here it is swatched. It has a great metallic finish to it and they describe this color as a glistening gold hue and they also say that it is Semi-Opaque but it is extremely Opaque, haha. :) LOVE, it will really help to brighten up your eyes too!

Next is Wine Berry:

This is absolutely beautiful! I love this color again one of my top favorites. It is great for fall and just beautiful an very opaque. LOVE IT!!! I definitely recommend getting this, if you are looking for a color like this!

Here is Wine Berry swatched it isn't super bright and it is a perfect transition color for any burgundy or plum shades you might have. On the website they describe this as a magenta hue with a shimmer finish and it is exactly that. This is again very smooth and just absolutely beautiful!!

Next one which is a tie for the top spot (LOL) called Raisin Berry:

This is absolutely stunning and I just love it. This is my definition of fall in one eyeshadow right here! LOL It is a beautiful burgundy and VERY opaque.

Here is Rasin Berry swatched! I love it and very opaque as you can see. On the website they describe it as a maroon hue with a shimmer finish! I definitely recommend this if you are looking for the perfect burgundy.

Last but not least is Raspberry Tart and this is tied with Raisin Berry for my top fave:

I can't get enough of this color it is a gorgeous plum with hints of lilac and AHH I love it LOL! :) It is very opaque as well and again no fall out issues with this one either just absolutely perfect for a plum eye!

Here it is swatched! They describe this one as a reddish-violet hue with a metallic finish. They also say that it is Semi-Opaque but I disagree. It is super opaque. I definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for a great unique plum shade!

Sample in True Love Quad:

They sent me a sample of (from left to right) Camel Taupe, Wishy Washy, Berry Grey and Steel Grey

Here is Camel Taupe swatched:

It is a great medium taupe brown and I really like it, the color is very buildable. It is described on the website as a creamy, warm brown with a satiny finish. It is very smooth and I definitely recommend this for an everyday brown!

Here is Wishy Washy swatched:

Now this one I don't really recommend, it is extremely sheer. The formula is very smooth and on the website they describe it as a muted grey hue in a matte finish. They also state that it is Semi-Opaque but I found that the color wasn't very buildable.

Next is Steel Grey which is my favorite:

I love this color so much it is very Opaque and the formula is perfect, very smooth and blendable. On the website it is described as a deep metallic grey with a shimmer finish. I LOVE it and I am definitely getting the full size.

Finally we have Berry Grey:

This is Berry Grey swatched. It is nice and opaque but a bit sheer, the color is very buildable and I really like it. It is described on the website as a soft shimmery black with a subtle hint of burundy and brown undertones. I really like this and also recommend this as well. It is a great everyday black!


Tell me in the comments what your favorite shade was!! :) Thank you so much for your support and taking some time out of your day to read this!! :)

MAC Dupes Round 2!

Hey guys so I know this post is a day late!! I am sooooo sorry. But my friend came over yesterday and we were talking all things wedding!!! lol She is engaged not me, just to clear that up I am well...SINGLE. Lol Anyways I am bringing you a MAC Dupe blog post full of swatches so lets get started shall we!? :)


Okay before I begin I wanted to let you know a couple days ago I posted a review for Performance Colors and I noticed that some of her lip products are dupes for some MAC lipsticks! So I will have her info at the bottom of the blog post. ENJOY! Also the video for this will be uploaded tonight so please SUBSCRIBE so I can be in your YT feed! CLICK HERE FOR YOUTUBE VIDEO

Ok so the first dupe I wanted to show you guys is

MAC - Viva Glam Gaga and Performance Colors - Bubble Gum Pink.

On the left is MAC and the right is Performance Colors. They are exactly the same shade, they are both very creamy but here's the good part MAC's is 15.00 and Performance Colors is 5.00!! I was so excited because they are very affordable and I am almost out of the MAC one!

Next I have

MAC - Marquise D and Performance Colors - Buff.

Mac is on the left side and on the right is Performance Colors. They again are basically identical but MAC has more of a pinky undertone to it but I still say it's a close match!

So this is the one MAC lipstick that I didn't purchase because I had similar colors and that is MAC - Viva Glam Nicki 2.

But the Performance Colors - that is more wearable and I thought you guys would be interested in is called Cool Pink. The other colors I have shown is Barry M - 129 and Revlon - Darling. (These were from my previous MAC Dupe Blog CLICK HERE FOR THAT BLOG)

On the left is Barry M, in the middle is Performance Colors and the one on the right is Revlon. Again this is just very wearable compared to the other two but it is not exact!

Finally these aren't MAC but I use them a lot and I thought I would share it with you because you can't get either of these products anywhere anymore.

These two products are from Bath and Body Works Alice in Wonderland Line. The lipgloss is called Alice and the little balm is called Tardy. The dupe for this is also by Performance Colors in the shade Juicy.

The one on the left is Alice, in the center is Juicy and on the right is Tardy. Now Juicy is a lipstick not a gloss but they are very close. They are all corals and if you want it to be glossy just add a clear gloss over the top.

So that is it for my DUPE blog post. I hope you enjoyed and as always check out all the links below!
