Hey beautiful people, hope you all are having a swell week.
Today I'm doing a review on a concealer palette I got a few days ago. I saw a positive review on a beauty blog (can't remember which one) about an online beauty store that has excellent delivery, www.beautyrevolutionng.com . So off I went to do a lil shopping, I actually wanted to get the sleek face contour kit but it's been out of stock for a while now. I've tried a gazillion stores and I still haven't been able to get it,and I also wanted a beauty blender sponge(the rave about this has been crazy and rightly so!). Since I could not find a contour kit,I came across this 15 piece concealer palette which is actually their brand and I decided to try it out.
Please ask me what my reason was.........
The rep for the website actually tried comparing this to the MAC concealer when a customer asked how good it was. She said and I quote: 'it is better than MAC'.
I thought to myself......someone can't actually blaspheme THAT MUCH without an ounce of truth to it,it costs exactly 2800 naira and I thought it was a major steal! So what the hell!! Give it a try!...And I did!

I couldn't find a product description on their site so I can't exactly tell you what they say about it, all I have is that it is supposed to be a concealer palette and its comparable to MAC!
What I think:
First and foremost, this doesn't conceal a thing! And I think it is more of a corrector than a concealer in which case, a very poor corrector. It is too greasy, way too creamy and the texture of the product is very inconsistent. Every single colour including the dark ones seems to leave a white finish on the face which is so unattractive. To hide this, you have to apply your foundation after applying the 'concealer', not before.
The packaging is fragile. You can see from the picture above that mine is already unhinged and I haven't had this for up a week! Find swatches below...........
Simply put, this was a waste of money no matter how cheap. I most definitely will not be repurchasing.
Having said all these, I wouldn't be fair if I don't give a thumbs up for their prompt delivery. I was impressed, I got my package on time and everything was intact.
Has anyone else tried this? Or have you tried any other concealer palette? If you have a good review, please share!!!
Stay beautiful!
