Coastal Scents Review

Coatal Scents (My first order)

Here is a video review of the products I bought.

I am writing this blog to review my first Coastal Scents order. In this order I bought:
Brushes
Palette
Brush Guards
Concealer

Starting with the Palette:
I bought the 88 Piece Makeup Palette (not the shimmer on just the one first one with regular colors). So far I love this palette. It includes a wide range of colors from nudes to pink, purple, green, blues, brown...etc. I am not a person that uses or experiments much with colors which is why I bought this one. When I do decide to try a defining color I am now able to have a good set of choices that this palette provides. They are very pigmented and so far show a promising future in my newly started collection. Most are matte and some contain shimmer or frosty looks.

Brush Guards:
I bought these brush guards because I saw some videos on YouTube and figured they would not be so bad. I did not really buy them for the cases where I have to clean my brushes because when I clean them I hang them up on a hanger facing down. Therefore, the reason I bought them was because I do not have a makeup bag or case to put my brushes in when I travel. I did not want the hairs/fibers on the brushes to get messed up or damaged. So these brush guards are the perfect thing for traveling with my brushes. No matter what bag I put them in now I rest assured that they will be very well protected. I did try them when washing just to see how they work and I would give it an A+. They do their job right, but just note that it may increase the time that the brushes need to be left alone in order to dry. When I ordered from Coastal Scents I wanted to get the variety pack, however they were sold out. So I simply bought a pack of each size from large to extra small. Overall very happy with the Brush Guards.

Concealer:
I purchased the Medium Camo Quad from their website. There is a lighter and darker shade than this one. I got the medium on guessing that I would be some where in between. I love this. It is so creamy based and really does the job. Has more than one color to really be able to blend to get the right coverage out of a concealer. Overall great job.


Synthetic Concealer Shading Brush- Good for use as a concealer, however I loved this brush to really pack on eye shadows.

Black Crease Brush- Great brush for adding definition of darker shades to eyes, works great at the crease area and firm enough for the job.



Black Detail Synthetic- Great for inner eye application. Very small but firm.


Taklon Flat Liner Concealer- Used for liner. Very firm and does a good job.


Sable Blending Brush- Quite big for my eyes but still blends okay. It is very soft but at the same time a bit too flimsy. I would say it is okay. When drying smells horrible.


Black Sable Buffer- When you feel it is so soft. Very well pack with bristle.
Does great job of buffering. Only bad thing is that when drying after wash or during wash it smells horrible, like animal. Other than smell great brush. Recommended that you get one that is not made of sable hairs or it will smell.Synthetic Concealer Shading Brush- I bought this to pack in eyeshadow and it does a great job of it. It is a bit large but small enough for me. Could also be used as a concealer. Like it.

Pink Kabuki- Love this brush. It is so soft and very cute since it is pink. Really packed with bristles packed in and firm enough to get the job done great. Use it to apply my pressed foundation and buff it in at the same time. Very happy with this brush. Highly recommended.

Silver Duo Fiber Stippling Brush- Lover this brush for liquid foundation. The second time around I finally got the hand of how to use it. Very soft. Will shed alot when washing after a while or second wash it will not shed as much. Still love it, really flawless airbrush look.Black Crease Brush- Really good brush for adding in that defining color at your crease especially for smokey eye looks. Small enough and firm enough. Very satisfied with it.
