  • Birthday gifts to Myself

    February 17 was my birthday and this year I decided to get myself some gifts. I bought two things The Jewel Toned Palette by Sample Beauty which I ordered through Beauty Bay, this is the first time I’ve ever ordered from them, and Eye Bright Illuminating Under Eye Concealer from Revolution Beauty.

    The Jewel Toned Palette

    I actually got this palette for practically free thanks to an ad I saw on Facebook. I only had to pay for shipping which came up to only 3,95€ !

    This palette is amazing and for that price, I felt like I won the lottery. It is highly pigmented, very easy to blend and the colors last all day long, I can’t recommend it enough.

    It is originally priced at 22,25€ which is not bad at all. It’s currently Out of Stock but keep an eye on it because you definitely need it in your collection.

    You can find it here Sample Beauty The Jewel Toned Palette

    Now let’s talk about ordering from Beauty Bay, whew chile! It was crazy, I bought the palette on Feb 17 and it shipped the very next day but I didn’t receive it until March 3.

    I was stressed. You could not convince me that it hadn’t been lost in the mail even though I should have accounted for Brexit and the holiday rush.

    To say that I’m unimpressed by this would be an understatement, I’m downright disappointed, this concealer is pretty watery and did not cover my dark circles, it blended into my foundation nicely but that’s about it.

    I don’t know maybe I got the wrong shade, there was a shade finder but it could not find a match with any of my foundations so I choose the one I thought was closest to my shade.

    I bought Medium.

    I got a discount on this for my birthday so I only paid 8,49€

    Update 2023: They seemed to have reformualted this product and changed the packaging. Maybe this product will have better results but I’m not really interested in finding out, you can find it here Makeup Revolution Eye Bright Illuminating Under Eye Concealer Warm Tan for 9,99€

    My looks with my new gifts:

    I usually go for more subtle looks but one of my cousins asked for bold looks and I hate these looks so much.

    Until next time!
