Posted Under Beauty Stuff

I’m at work right now and I quickly want to say that I received my Coastal Scents order I placed on Wednesday and they so friggin’ gorgeous!!! I’m so excited, I can’t wait to try them!


26 Color Shadow Blush Combo Palette – $21.95

I love how these comes in different sorts of colors from browns, pinks, plums and peaches and they’re are a mix of matte and shimmer finishes.


6 Color Contour & Blush Palette – $19.95

6 Color Contour & Blush Palette
I’ve been wanting to learn how to contour and with the products I have on hand just wasn’t cutting it. After watching xsparkage’s video, I HAD to have this. I was surprised at how big this one was. And I love the colors, you can mix two colors to achieve the look you want, it’s just fabulous!

I also placed an order with CrownBrush.com and ordered some brushes as I need to update my collection, so that should be coming soon. I know I should be saving money for my house, but I got some money from my returns and why not spoil myself with a little something. It’s been a long time since I spent money on anything for myself, but just don’t tell the boyfriend :-D

Coastal Scents Brushes
Posted Under Beauty Stuff

Hey Guys!!! Sorry for the lack of post. I have a new position in the company I work for, so my focus has been mainly on work. I’ve been slaving my ass off at home in the past week and haven’t had time to do anything else during the day. But that didn’t stop me from shopping online and 24/7 CVS and Rite Aid at night. So I have alot of catching up to do :)

I recently bought two brushes from CoastalScents.com trying to get my hands on something natural.

Flat Mineral Bronzer Buffer Large - $4.24

The same brush sold by the nations leading retailer at an affordable price!
This brush will give you an ultimate application, use with foundation, blush,shimmer powders, especially works wonders with veil & bronzer.
Made with natural  pony hair, hand cut for precision application. Set in a seamless nickel ferrule with wood handle. Made to last a lifetime with proper care and cleansing.
Length from top to bottom 6 1/4 “

I LOVE how this brush is soooo soft!!! My intention on buying this brush was for applying my Everyday Minerals foundation but since I prefer bigger, more poufier brushes, I felt that this brush wasn’t big enough to apply my foundation. So I’m using this to apply blush or bronzer. The only thing about this brush is that it sheds like a mofo. See? How many can you count?

Prior to using this brush, I washed it probably about five times with anti-bacterial soap cuz it stunk like no one’s business. OMG, the smell *BARF* It smelled like a wet dog and it took forever to dry. Even at the last wash, the smell was still there but I let it dry hoping that the smell will go away and thankfully it did. I tested on the back of my hand to be sure that the smell won’t transfer to my skin and it didn’t smell. I’m just afraid for the next washing that the smell will come back to haunt me.

Pink Kabuki Brush – $4.99

Our pink essentials kabuki brush is an absolute girlie girl addition to your makeup tools set. The hairs are firm and supple allowing for a flawless application.
Pink Metallic Handle, goat and sable hair blend.

Not only does this kabuki brush give me great application with my mineral foundation, it’s small, cute and PINK! It doesn’t smell as bad when I washed it and it sheds too, but not as much. I got this to replace my stand-up powder brush from Essence of Beauty, which felt scratchy when applying my mineral foundation. The Pink Kabuki Brush is soft and I’m glad I got it! I just wish they have it with longer handles.
