Coastal Scents Review!!!







Today, I fell in love. Three times. First I opened the Coastal Scents 88 Color Palette...AHHHH (the heaven's opened and angel's sang I SWEAR!) Before me were 88 of the most beautiful, vibrant eye shadow colors I'd ever seen! I wanted to cry with joy (give me a break, I'm pregnant, lol) at the possibilities that lay before me. I CANNOT wait to use EVERY color in this palette :)











Then I opened the Coastal Scents Metal Mania 88 Color Palette! Again, angels sing! I am so amazed by the concentration of color, the vibrancy, the SHIMMER :) So beautiful. Then I did the swatches- WOW. Some of the colors in the palette are deceivingly bright, then you put them on and they are just a beautiful color, every color is wearable! I was freaking EXCITED!!!

I used the Metal Mania palette first, and created this purple eye. My eyes are green, so I love to use purple!!






I was shocked how LITTLE you have to load on the brushes, to get A LOT of color on your lid. Amazing color. I will do a tutorial on this look soon, (AND MANY OTHERS)!! I promise :) Also, in the crazy humidity here in Louisiana I am shocked that it's not creasing or melting off my eyes! So impressed with the quality!


Now down to the last thing I bought!! (DRUM ROLL PLEASE....)







A real professional set of brushes!! I will be the first to tell you NOTHING about these brushes is vegetarian/vegan friendly. The case is leather, and the brushes are badger and goat hair. (SORRY SORRY SORRY, commence stone throwing). BUT they are the softest most high quality brushes I have ever had the PLEASURE to use!! I love them.



So...bottom line COASTAL SCENTS ROCKS! I can't wait to try more of their products :) OH YES, COST- the 88 Color Palette cost me $18.95 and the Metal Mania Palette cost me $24.95. They have the 88 Color Palette in ULTRA SHIMMER too, which I imagine would be comparable to the shimmer in the metal mania palette, and they have a neutrals palette as well that contains mostly matte and lightly shimmery neutral colors. So check out Coastal Scents for amazing makeup at amazing prices!

New Mascara



I know, it's not a tutorial! I have to figure our a better video editor to use before I do more of those, but I did pick up an AWESOME mascara at wal mart the other day. It was $5.49 and it's from Maybelline (which has ALWAYS made my favorite mascaras) it's called "The Falsies". TOTALLY ROCKS! I curled my lashes and put on one coat- wow! I didn't take a pic of ME before I took off my makeup tonight, but this pic is actually what my lashes look like after one coat!


I very much recommend it!
