CoastalScents Mini-Haul!

Hey everybody!

So I wanted to share my CoastalScents mini-HAUL!

Funny (weird) story about my 'haul'.

I took sleeping pills one night so I could go to sleep early (since class starts AT 6:30AM wtf? rite?!).

And apparently I woke up after going to bed and went to the living room, where Danny was playing video-games and grabbed my laptop and went online (specifically coastalscents.com) and made a purchase.

I didn't know remember making the purchase until it arrived. 

So yeah, that was...unique. 

Luckily I didn't buy too much and I really like the stuff I got. 

CoastalScents is located I believe in Fort Myers, Florida.  

So one great thing since I live in Miami, is I can elect the cheapest method of shipping and get it in about 2 days.

I bought, and you see can from the invoice, 2 make-up brushes and a eyeshadow primer.

I really loved the packaging!  

OMG so freaking cute!

CS also included a 'I <3 Makeup" sticker which I thought was thoughtful and so fitting.

These touches make it special.

The two make-up brushes I bought were the Pro Blending Fluff brush and the Classic Detail Pointed Natural brush.

On the left:

Normally I don't like to buy 'natural' brushes because I want cruelty free brushes, but I guess while I'm under the influence I'm a heartless bitch.

I don't know how it performs because I haven't used it yet.  But it feels soft.

I have a small eyelid and barely there crease (slightly slanted lids), so I'm hoping this brush will give me access to my inner corner (I like to add a highlight there and have issues applying it b/c my brushes are too large to pinpoint that exact spot.)

On the right:

I already own this brush and like it a lot.  It's soft.  And if you don't already know, I shall have the pleasure of informing you...it's a MAC 217 dupe. 

Does the same job for a fraction of the cost.  

I will NEVER buy MAC brushes (even if I was filthy stinkin' rich)!

It's a total rip off and there's too many dupes out there that function at the same level.  Plus at the moment I'm a poor college student and I rather save my pennies to buy MAC lippies.  

I hate it when I read comments from dumb bitches saying 'I will only use MAC brushes'.  Well guess what?  You're a total tool who blindly throws heir money in the fucking toilet.

What can I say? I appreciate value.

Needless to say... I liked it enough to repurchase it.

I wanted another b/c I can't be bothered to wash it as often as I need too.  So I opted for a second one.

Here's another picky.

On to the primer...

The primer is called Shadow Worx Classic.

It's suppose to be a primer with a sheen.

Well it has sheen but I thought it personally sucked donkey balls as a primer.

Okay, that actually might be a bit harsh.

Because I'm basing that off of its ability to prime with cream shadows which to me, is a bigger task for the primer. 

But after 6 hours I had MAJOR creasing, not cute. 

But there's a flip side.

It's really beautiful on it's own.

I was in a rush one day and decided after applying it that I didn't want to wear eyeshadow.

I looked in the mirror and saw that my lids had a pretty nude shimmer on them, so I just popped on mascara and went on about my business, and get this, I got 2 complements that day!

So I've been using it a lot lately on its own (easy to apply with my fingertip at 5AM...)

I'll have to test it with my powder shadows to sees how it performs, but until then all those positive reviews on CS's webshop...from a bunch of crackheads imo.

When I've worn it alone, it lasts all day.

Another great thing about CS is that they always include a sample! With my experience they're always good samples too ;) 

So that's it for my CoastalScent.com mini-haul.

When I try out the detail brush and test the primer again I'll update this post. 

Till then have a great week ;)
