purple/pink/teal eyes-fairy?

used creative me #1 palette, neon pink, magenta, and teal green

colors went on good and were good at blending, even for being matte
my makeup remover took more off then i wanted (being distracted with someone talking to you and trying to remove makeup = not good removing)

coastal scents haul 2

more coastal scents goodness XD
creative me #1 palette
light yellow, bright yellow, light tangerine, bright tangerine, neon red, neon pink, deep grape, magenta, indigo, electric blue, teal green, shamrock green

$14
22 piece brush roll set $35
$1.59 per brush, super cheap
very durable case, smells like chemical/factory stink, but the brushes will lose the scent after a good wash

full brush roll opened


fan brush with guard

powder buffer, round powder, flat buffer, angle brush, and foundation brush

concealer, large shadow, blender, doe foot blender, dome shadow, dome blender, medium shadow, detail shadow, lip, detail concealer

pointed blender, brow, large/medium/small liners, smudger sponge
brushes are all really soft, some are synthetic, goat, fiber, nylon, pony hair and rubber.
finally got some interfine mice powders, looks white in jar, when swatched color appears

jar lid of red mica, amazing

jar lid of green

jar of blue, showed up better when swatched


jar lid of purple


jar lid of gold sparks, more glittery than interfine micas, but works the same way

how to label coastal scents palettes


the only problem with some coastal scents palettes (and 120/180/168 palettes) would be the lack of names, so you cant really tell people what colors you used (blog posts, youtube tutorial, conversation). i wanted my palettes labeled to avoid having a derp moment. i labeled mine battle-ship style (letter/number). so when i use the black from the 88 original palette (bottom right corner), i can say 88 original (K8). this works this the unlabeled palettes (any 88 palette). the creative palettes and 252 palette have names for their shadows. you can label these palettes battle-ship style, or you can use the names of the shadows. to label them, i used a bronze sharpie (metallic sharpie kit, silver, gold, bronze from walmart $3) and wrote on the actual plastic palette so that way it wouldn't rub off or smear. i also kept the plastic sheet on the shadows and used that as a protector from my hand hitting the shadows and making a giant mess.  i did this with my original, shimmer, metal mania, prism, and 252 (all trays). i just wanted an easier way to label/name the shadows so that i could tell what colors i used.

for orders over $50, coastal scents will give you free fed ex home delivery shipping. from florida to north east pa it was about 4-5 days, (12/26-1/2). fed ex does send you a tracking number. coastal scents processing does take some time for large orders and around holiday times/big sales. the order came in a 14x14x14 box with paper on top of the order. 3 palettes were wrapped in paper, then with bubble wrap. the other 2 were wrapped the same, but together. they came in individual boxes with bubble wrap wrapped around the palette. so it was like a sandwich, paper, bubble wrap, palette box, bubble wrap, then palette inside. the palettes all came in mint condition, nothing broken. i would def order from here again, and already have. they are so inexpensive and shipping doesn't take forever. it's great for college students and beginners.
