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.

The Best Beauty Blender Cleaner + CEB Cosmetics Goats Milk Review

Hello everyone. So I wanted to let you all know that I have been testing this product out for a week and let me tell you this is the most amazing cleanser I have ever used. I have been on the hunt forever to find the best brush cleaner. I finally found it and it cleans everything. There is literally no need to purchase several different cleansers to be able to clean all of your tools.

Christina also wanted to let you guys know that they are in the process of adding 2 sizes an 8oz and a 16oz. The current size they have is 4oz. But be on the look out for that in the future.

Now I do want to start out by saying that I contacted Christina who is the founder of CEB Cosmetics and I asked here if I could try this. I am in no way making any money off of this and I am being 100% honest as always.

I also have a video uploaded on my YouTube channel and you can find it HERE. Over there you will just find a quick review but this is where you want to be for a more in depth review with pictures and I go into a lot more detail.

Solid Goats Milk Brush Cleanser is an all natural cleanser that has been specially formulated to breakdown various types of makeup while gently washing away bacteria and impurities. This cleanser is infused with organic jasmine and is also going to help preserve the life of your brushes by deeply shampooing and conditioning with its gentle formula.

Before I get straight into the review I wanted to let you know that Christina was nice enough to give you guys a great deal!! If you use the discount code 'Emily05' (case sensitive) you will receive 5% off your first purchase but you better hurry because this is a limited time offer! This product normally retails for 16.99 and you can purchase it HERE.

Here are my before and after pictures:

I Start College Tomorrow!!

So you guys I am super excited for school tomorrow. Granted I am starting online at Kaplan University. I am going for my Bachelor in Science for Early Childhood Development. I have 2 classes this term for 10 weeks. The first class I am taking is College Composition 1 and the other is Preparing for a career in early childhood development. I am pretty sure they will be the worst classes that I will take but maybe not. That is just what my family has informed me of. I want to vlog everyday even if it is a couple minutes because I want to show you guys what it is like. I also just want to be able to look back on it.

I should be getting my Erin Condren planner tomorrow or Wednesday but I am not sure yet. It was supposed to be here by the 22nd but I just tracked it and now it says the 23rd, I am not happy about that because when I ordered it, it said between the 17th and the 23rd. But it is what it is I guess. I am now working off of a new computer which is an ASUS and it is very lightweight. I am enjoying it so far and I think I will be reviewing it on my channel because I really like it a lot. Plus it was a really good deal.

I am seriously having a dilemma though because I can't find my vlogging camera or the one that I prefer to use over my one I film my beauty videos with. I am currently filming a first impression on a foundation that absolutely sucks. So I am going to return it tonight or tomorrow. I had high hopes for it but just no. I need to get all of my school stuff prepared for tomorrow as far as like what folders are for what and what binders are for what. I also need to install my printer to this computer so I can print off my books and anything else I need to print off but I wanted to make cute labels for my folders and binders so I think I will be doing that after I am done blogging.

I was wondering if you guys liked the new look of my blog! I decided to do something more springy and just new. So is everyone being positive lately? I know I am. Today I wanted to ask you guys what is that one thing that always makes you happy no matter what? Mine is a homemade ice coffee. I use Vanilla Almond Sweetened Milk, just a splash of creamer, one packet of blue sweetener, and I have been using a powder mix of chocolate I am not sure what it is called but if I don't use that I will use just black coffee and put that in my magic bullet of course with some ice and then your done!!! That makes me happy no matter what and I always enjoy it.

Have an amazing Tuesday guys. Love you
