Hey Beauties ,
Guys, I know I’m a teensy bit late with my Black Friday Haul but I promise you, it’s worth your time! My good friend Trang came across this amazing deal on Coastal Scents on Black Friday. For all of you who don’t know about Coastal Scents, they’re basically your typical online shop who are more or less known for their amazing palettes, kind of similar to BH Cosmetics. Their prices can be compared to Milani, NYX or even Zoeva.
Because they are based in Florida, the shipping to Germany/Europe is really pricey. Similar to Cherry Culture they charge according to the packaging, destination and weight. We then decided to place our order on one account and had to pay 15 Dollars each which is still reasonable!
As you can see, I mainly opted for brushes this time because Lord knows a girl cannot have enough of them. They were, like the rest of the shop 50% off which meant that the most expensive one only cost me 8 Dollars! In addition to the brushes I purchased a shadow palette and a lip quad. All in all, this cost me 23€ which is a complete steal if you asked me!
I purchased 6 brushes of which 3 were blending brushes because in my opinion they totally transform your eye make-up. The 2 white brushes remind me of MAC’s 217 – a staple for a lot of beauty guru’s out there! It’s never been that easy to create a smokey eye, guys!
I also opted for a stippling/buffing brush for my liquid foundation, a flat foundation brush for my stick foundation and a tapered blush/bronzer brush.
What can I say about this baby? It’s just perfect and I know, I know that I have loads of berry toned lipsticks but this quad is just too convenient and practical to pass on. I brought it with me on my weekend trip to Amsterdam and I was absolutely stunned both by the consistency and feeling on the lips. I even liked the mini lip brush that came with the quad. And girls, it only cost 2,50€ so what else would you have done?
Die Farben rangieren von einem schönen Korall-Pink über einen altrosanen Ton bis hin zu einem weinroten und violetten Lippenton. Das Tolle an solchen praktischen, kleinen Quads ist die Tatsache, dass ihr die Farben ganz nach Belieben mischen und komplett neue Farben kreieren könnt.
They have 4 quads altogether but I chose the Passion Berry one. The colors range from a corally pinkish color, to a vintage pink, a deep red one and a violet one. The great thing about quads is that you are free to mix and match the tones in the palette, just use your lips as canvas and draw away!
And last but not least, a shadow palette in blush. The name is just perfectly chosen because the palette features mostly pink and neutral tones. They are the slightest bit shimmery but there are also tons of matte shades for a very natural look. The palette reminds me immensely of the Naked 3 Palette from Urban Decay only this one cost me incredible 9 Dollars!
I think you can score tons and tons of looks out of this sole palette. You can do a cute and sultry look for date night, a sexy look for girls night out or even a glam look for that special occasion. I can’t wait to use it!
And that is it for my little haul. I hope you enjoyed this week’s “Beauty On A Budget”. Oh and one last quick comment shipping wise. The package came after only 3 working days. We placed our orders on the night from thursday to Friday and on Tuesday FedEX were pounding on my door! Don’t you just wish this was the case with all of the online shops?
Yours truly,
Lana Hoang
