Hey dolls!
So I have big fashion show coming up mid April that I will be doing makeup for, so I decided to purchase these items to help build my kit more, so that I am very prepared!!! I purchased items from Coastal Scents, E.l.f., and Black Opal. I received free shipping on all three orders. I spent a total of $150 on this entire haul. Enjoy!
BLACK OPAL
1. FOUNDATION STICKS
I have used these before while assisting another makeup artist, but haven't purchased them until now. These items were the most important product missing from my kit, and I just had to buy them. I love how blendable they are, and they are very easy to work with. I bought 4 shades and spent a total of $38 for all four (They are $9.50 each). Can't wait to use these on clients.

COASTAL SCENTS
1. HOT POTS
I absolutely love Coastal Scents hot pots...there are the same size as MAC's eyeshadow pans and a lot of these colors are dupes for some of MAC's eyeshadows. Each hot pot was $1.99. And if you bought 12 hot pots you got a free 12-pan empty palette. I thought that was a great deal, since I need a palette to put all these new shades in. I ended up purchasing 24 hot pots, so I received 2 12-pan empty palettes. But you can also purchase a 12-pan empty palette for $5.95 on there website. (*they also carry a 4-pan empty palette for $3.95*).
2. CAMO QUAD in Dark
In my last purchase from Coastal Scents I purchased the Medium Camo Concealer Quad, so this time around I decided to purchase the Dark, since I know I will be working with a lot of Darker skin tones. Like I stated in my last haul post, I love these Camo Quads...I more so use these for highlighting the brow bone area. They retail for $7.95 each.
3. SHADOW WORX PRIMER in MATTE
Currently I use and own the following eye shadow primers: NYX eyes shadow base in White, Sally Hansen eye shadow base, MAC's paint pot in Groundwork, and Urban Decay's eye shadow primer in Sin. I decided to add the Coastal Scents Shadow Worx primer in Matte to my collection since its comparable to Urban Decay's original eye primer. My collection of eye shadows are mostly shimmer shades, so I purchased this matte primer so that I can turn some of my shimmer eye looks into matte eye looks. Can't wait to test it out! This retails for $9.95.
E.L.F. Cosmetics
1. PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST BELT
I was in great need for one of these, and I finally got it! And I can't wait to use it! This will work so much better for me when working on clients instead of having to pull all my brushes out of a case or pouch. This product retails for $15.00.
2. BLUSH
I purchased two more of E.l.f. blushes. I already own four other ones (Mellow Mauve, Berry Merry, Candid Coral and Blushing Rose)...so I decided to add Peachy Keen, Fushia Fusion & Tickled Pink to my collection as well. I have already used the previous four I bought and love how they just bring my cheeks to life. And they only retail for $3! Good deal!
3. EYEBROW STENCIL KIT
I was always interested in how these things work. I draw and fill in my own eyebrow with wax, powder, and pencil now, but I can't wait to try out these stencils to see if I get different results. The pack comes with four stencils and retails for only $1!
4. CREAM EYE SHADOWS
(Top to Bottom: Bronzed & Natural Glow)
I wasn't really impressed with E.l.f.'s Duo Cream Eye shadow (I own the one in Butter Pecan), but I wanted to try their single cream eyeshadows to see if there would be any difference. I purchased shadows in Bronzed and Natural Glow. Can't wait to try these out. They retail for $3 each.
