Review: Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette



So, I promised months ago that I'd review the Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette...Many apologies ladies, I've been busy, busy, busy, and I forgot.

The Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette is $24.95, and in my opinion, money well-spent. I haven't used every single shadow yet, but the ones that I have are great. The eyeshadows in this palette are so neutral and silky, everyone can use them, everyday.

There are so many options with this many shadows and finishes. I use the 88 Warm Palette literally almost everyday.

There are a variety of really light colors, which frankly can be hard to find. New eyeshadows come out all the time, but how often do you find highlight colors that you love. Most major makeup companies don't put out a lot of light whites and creams, they have a few and then they're done.

The Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette also has some colors you may not expect, there are some gorgeous purples and oranges. You generally don't expect to see orange and purple in a neutral palette, but the colors are so user-friendly and truly neutral, don't be scared to test them out.

Seriously, I highly recommend the 88 Warm Palette, if you've been on the fence, jump over and grab this!

Review: Coastal Scents Silica Powder Spheres

Hello gorgeous! So I was super duper excited about finally trying Coastal Scents Silica Powder Spheres, especially since when compared to MUFE's HD Powder it's a HUGE bargain. So I got them, and just like everyone else, the container they come in is unusable as far as putting a brush in it and picking up the powder. I quickly transferred the powder to an old bareMinerals container, and problem fixed. I followed all my normal skin routines, and makeup, and finally I was prepared to put on the Coastal Scents Silica Powder Spheres.......................amazing. This powder is truly transparent, minimizes the appearance of pores, and makes my bareMinerals last even longer without the dreaded makeup-meltdown. This powder may well be my HG finishing powder, it's that good. I'm constantly on the lookout for the BBD (bigger, better deal) but I think I've found it. I highly recommend picking some of this up for yourself. Coastal Scents Silica Powder Spheres can be bought here, for $4 an ounce.

Quick note; I got my order from Sephora today containing the new bareMinerals Matte! I will be using it tomorrow, and will review it sometime this week. Also in my order? MUFE HD Microfinish Powder, in a deluxe sample size. I will use it soon and compare with Coastal Scents Silica Powder Spheres.

Sorry.............

Hello lovely ladies, sorry I've been MIA for while, I've been super busy with life, and my day job. Alas, I'm back with more reviews and looks. I'm super excited about bareMinerals new matte foundation, so of course I ordered it, as soon as I've tried it I'll do a review and let you know if it's all it's cracked up to be. Also I ordered the new Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette: I can't wait to showcase some looks with it, and see how pigmented the colors really are. I love browns and neutrals so I can't wait!!

I'm also going to be doing a review on CS Silica Powder Spheres. I don't personally buy into the whole feud over them being unsafe. If they were truly unsafe I think someone would've stepped in and forced CS and other retailers who sell them to stop selling them, or give consumers some sort of disclaimer. Check this out for some more info or google silica spheres for the truth.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by, and we'll talk soon!!
