Coastal Scents haul


SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! I actually received this package on Saturday, but didn't upload all the pictures and get around to posting until now. Before i start let me link you guy the coastal website since some of you said you wanted to get these palettes. The website is http://www.coastalscents.com/ ; and there you can find everything from this haul, and many other things.




The things i ordered came in this cute little box. The second i saw it on the porch i ran like a mad woman to it lol. The palettes were extra carefully wrapped in loads of bubble wrap, and the brushes were in pink wrapping paper.


The actual palettes came individual in a black box(as pictured above) with the name of the company; as well as the name of the palette in silver.



It also brought a business card; and a sample of their pigment eyeshadow which i didn't even open. Now that i think of it i wonder if i threw it away? grrrr im going to have to look after this post. If i did throw it away by accident I'm super lame.

The brushes came bundled in this little ....bag thing lol for lack of better words. They also came individually wrapped in plastic.


contour + blush angled blush; try saying that 5 times fast lol

mini detailer


stippling brush


chisel brush

the buffer brush

pointed crease brush

The outside of the palettes are all similar, the only difference is that some are smaller than others. It has the company name, and then at the bottom; the name of the palette.

blush and contour palette

neutral palette

88 shimmer palette

88 color palette

88 metal palette

88 warm palette.

I have yet to try everything out completely. I tried a few things here and there when i was getting ready that Saturday, but nothing i can make a full review off of. From what I've played with so far; I LOVE IT!! The color pay off is great, and there are soooo many gorgeous colors. I am in love! I'm going to play with these some more and then make a review on them as soon as possible. would i recommend you guys get these? HECK YES!! they are worth every penny and I'm beyond satisfied with my purchase. The shipping was great, fast, and reliable. And ordering was easy and fast! once again the website is http://www.coastalscents.com/ ; GIVE IT A BROWSE; you wont be disappointed.

Jesses Girl Cosmetics haul

I keep randomly talking about Jesses girl here and there, but im slacking on making an actual review! HELLO! haha. Im going to get on it, i promise. They are so worth review. I know times are tough, and if you dont do makeup professionally you might not want to spend tons of money on it, this is for sure a great purchase for your money! Jesses girl lose eye shadows go for about 3.99 a piece at most drug stores.

The ones pictured above are from the first round i purchased a while ago. I got these few because i had heard good things about them but wanted to try them out for myself before i went and got every single color lol.


They come in lose form, and are SUPER pigmented. For 3.99, these are a steal because umm they are WAY up there in color pay off. The only downfall is that i hate lose powder because its kind of messy, but these are worth it.



After loving my first round, i decided to go back and get some more. I had a list of like 16 colors that i wanted to get, BUT umm i'll split it in two more rounds because geesh if i get all of them i'll be overwhelmed and wont try them. i LOVE these new colors i got, they are GORGEOUS! I had the hardest time choosing only 8 because i really, really wanted them all. They have a great selection of colors. Here's a closer look at the new ones....


this has to be my FAVE! "trouble maker"


"kiwi rose"



"key lime"

"fruit punch"




"sunlit cactus"


"pink glitz"

"antique green"

"ultra violet"
All are super gorgeous and well worth their money. I cant wait to try these out. Maybe i'll do something funky with them tomorrow. Go and check these out girls they are so worth the money. I think i got these at brooks to be exact, and payed around 30 something for all 8. They also have an eyeshadow primer that works pretty good as well. You can also get these online on the Jesses Girl website.

MUFE(makeup forever) Cosmetic line

this little lovely post is an intro into the loveliness that is MUFE; a heads up on products that i will be purchasing and hopefully reviewing; and maybe some inspiration for you guys to try them as well. i first heard of MUFE when sephora opened up last year at my local mall. i was always into makeup but i didnt get into the higher end things besides mac until the sephora opened its doors. i felt like a kid in a candy store; and thats an understatement. i was looking to buy a concealer powder; i had macs, but i wanted to try something new because mac concealers tend to have alot of red in them and it came out a bit darker compared to my skin tone. i asked one of the girls that worked there to match me up and she told me about MUFE and after she put it on i LOVED it. mostly because it was perfect for my yellow undertone skin. now that i know that their powder foundations is good; i was looking into their liquid ones, since liquid foundations give you a more natural look. turns out that MUFE is also amazing when it comes to liquid foundations. after reading all the online reviews and watching some videos online im for sure going to try it. i always tried staying away from liquid foundations because truly people can do harm with these. if not blended well, foundations can make you look like a straight clown! i was debating on whether to get the MUFE HD; or the MUFE mat velvet; but based on reviews HD is geared more towards regular to dry skin. while mat velvet is more for people with oily skin because it gives that shine free natural finish to the skin which sounds amazing. at first i was iffy about the "mat velvet" title; but after reading the reviews; this stuff holds up pretty good. they compare it to the mac foundation; and its said that it gives the same coverage without the heavy thick feeling. macs liquid foundations goes on pretty flawlessly also; so im considering getting matched up at both places just to compare the two. for right now i'll try the mat velvet since i know its for oily skin.




im also going to get the makeup forever primer. whats awesome about MUFE primers is that they come in different colors according to your undertone and skin tone to help give your skin an all over even tone before you even apply foundation. i was matched up for the neutral(white) colored primer since i dont have much discoloration in my skin. if you go to sephora.com and look at the MUFE primers it gives you some detail about what each color does for your face, and its some guidance as to what color primer to get. if your medium toned, i suggest going with just the neutral white because the brown toner tends to be a little dark and has alot of red in it. it looked HORRIBLE ON ME. im also looking forward to trying this bad boy out...

its a concealer palette; much like the one i talked about in a previous entry. this one has five color options which means you can blend the colors together and get the precise coverage you need for under eye circles; blemishes; scars; etc. i also heard that their regular concealers are great too; so i'll probably give that a go too for the days where you get those random breakouts. and last but NOT least; eye shadows. they have this really cool little thing; refillable palettes. sometimes makeup lines only come out with palettes for special editions; or maybe the ones they do come out with only have 3 - 4 colors; so this works out great!

you can transfer your shadows directly into here which makes it easier to organize your eye shadows; and also gives you the freedom to make your own custom made palette.

you can find these and more MUFE products at sephora.com; also sephora has a special going on right now!! when you buy 3 MUFE eye shadows you get the palette(retailed at $10.00) for FREE!! the eye shadows usually retail for around $19.00 but well worth the money. also, mostly any shadow will fit in the palette, so you don't need to stick to just MUFE eye shadows!
