VS pro camoflauge concealer pallette review

Hey girl hey.  I'm going to be doing a series of reviews on some of the (copious amounts of) makeup I have starting with a concealer palette I've been using a lot for the past week.


Victoria's Secret Pro Camoflauge Concealer Palette ($14)

So, as you can see, there are 5 shades of concealer in this palette.  The apricot one on the far right is for counteracting dark blue-ish tones in the skin while the green one is for redness.  There is also a light, medium, and dark shade.  Because I'm fairly pale (around an NC25 in MAC terms), I don't use the dark concealer that much but sometimes I do use it as a cream bronzer or a lip color.  I initially thought that this would be such a great palette since it has 5 different shades and somewhat resembled that MUFE concealer palettes.  Of course it also comes with a useless brush...maybe you can repurpose it as a small lip brush?

PROS:
Good range of colors
Full Coverage, good pigmentation
Moisturizing (only the second one from the left)
Case feels pretty durable
Long lasting

CONS:
Smells faintly like plastic (not an issue to me but could be to someone else)
Hard-to-open lid
Inconsistant texture (the "medium" concealer shade is ULTRA creamy/sticky while the others are kind of hard and plastic-y feeling but you are still able to get product)
Feels sticky on the skin
Could make the under eye area look dry after setting concealer with a powder

All in all, this concealer isn't the worst I've ever used.  It's got pretty good coverage and good pigmentation.  I think it'd be great for traveling since it's all the concealers you'll need in one neat little case.  Would I repurchase?  Meh.  I'm torn.  I feel like I could get a better quality of a single shade of concealer for the same price but then I'd only be getting one shade without the ability to mix and match.
