This is my place to be as girly as I like and happily know that there are others out there who can relate. I have been slow about updating but I am slowly but surely getting off my arse and trying to update more often ^^

After months and months of an inner debate I finally made my big Coastal Scents purchase.
I had heard nothing but good things about them, had done my research and all but it took some time cause I knew that the order would be rather large and expensive.
I decided to go ahead with it when they had their sale on everything on Dec. 1st.
I got almost everything I was after, the only things they were out of was their black gel eyeliner and some little jars with a square base I wanted for my broken eyeshadows and whatnot.

I hope to do swatches of all of this in the future.
It is a pretty big task to take on considering all the colors :P

Reviews:
88 Palettes- Amazing quality and amazing colors! The pans are small but you only have to use a little so they will last quite a while.
Neutral Palette- Should be a staple in pretty much all makeup lover's collections, it definitely is in mine. Pigmented colors, ranging from whitest white to blackest black. Mixture of finishes.
Contour and Blush Palette- Holy crap the size of those things! The pans are as a powder compact (not just the pan in the compact but the compact itself.) Super pigmented so it'll last forever. Some of the contouring shades can be tricky to work with at first but pretty cool once you get the hang of it. Main trick is the heaviness and lightness of application. ALWAYS start out with a light hand, much easier to add than remove.
Blush Palette- Great variety of colors, pretty good size and the pigmentation is very nice. Even if theres a color that you don't like, theres guaranteed to be at least one that you do.
Glitter- I have yet to play with this much sadly. I did however get a little on my hand when storing it in my makeup drawer and its very fine and not scratchy. Awesome colors and the samples they give you are rather large.
Gel Liners- Loooove these! Such pretty pigmented colors and they go on so smooth. They dry fast and stay in place too. No downsides about 'em.
Brushes- I love them both so far. I had been looking for a great eyeliner brush forever, I decided to go for 2 kinds to up my chances of ending up with one I loved. They are both soft on the skin but they are just stiff enough to control the eyeliner easily.
Jars- Most of their jars come with optional/removable sifters which is pretty cool. They seem to run a little small though. I originally got the 5 gram ones for my broken eyeshadows and glitters but they are pretty small. Seem like they would be good on the go lipgloss maybe? I ended up using the 20 gram I think it was for my broken Revlon eyeshadow I got the other day.

Overall I am super happy with it all. Palettes are my weakness when it comes to makeup. I love the convenience and awesomness of them XD

annnd I am happy to say none of them were broken! ^^ They packed everything really well, I was pretty impressed.

So if you're thinking of trying out Coastal Scents I would definitely recommend it. You get so much for what you pay.
