Coastal Scents Haul Pt3!!!

Hey,

So I just received my Coastal Scents package in the mail this morning and decided to post a quick blog before I left for work. This is a small haul, but I love what I got. All the purchases I make for makeup are going towards building my kit so that I can do freelance work and market myself as a makeup artist. Hope you enjoy this haul.

SN: Coastal Scents offers free shipping for orders over $50. So these purchases came to total of $51.84 I believe. Check it out:

*COASTAL SCENTS HOT POTS*
(these are 26mm pans, the same size as MAC)These Hot Pots are $4.49 each. And although I don't shop at MAC, I hear that these colors and quality are comparable to MAC and a lot of these are dupes for MAC shades. Why buy MAC shades at almost $15 each, when you can get them for $4.49 each.

I also ordered a 12 piece empty magnetic palette so I can customize my own makeup palettes. I call this palette by "Natural Glow Palette (Neutral/Pink/Green)". I love it! I plan on ordering more colors to fill up the rest of the palette.

Hot Pots (Left to Right): ME17, ME21, ME20, ME24, ME22, ME23, and S24.

*COASTAL SCENTS 13 PIECE BRUSH SET*

I decided to order a brush set that I can put in my kit for professional use. I plan on getting more brushes from them but these are the basics.

The brush kit includes:
  1. Deluxe Sable Powder Brush
  2. Deluxe Sable Blush Brush
  3. Sable Shadow Brush
  4. Sable Concealer Brush
  5. Angle Taklon Liner
  6. Badger Blending Fan
  7. Sable Crease Brush
  8. Oval Taklon Concealer
  9. Detail Lip Liner
  10. Eyebrow Comb
  11. Mascara Spoolie
  12. Silk Spongie
  13. Leatherine Case

Hope you enjoyed!!! Another NYX and LA Colors Haul post coming in a few days!

::Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick + Swatches!::

Hey,

So after browsing through other blogs, I found that the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick was popular, and after looking at swatches I completely fell in love with the colors. So I just got back in from Wal-Mart where I purchased two shades. I paid $5.47 each for these lipsticks, which is not such a bad price! And the packaging is sooo cute. Metallic purple with a crown at the top!

The two shades I purchased are Spotlight Beige and Vintage Pink. Check out the pictures below. Sn: I apologize in advance for the camera quality.

This time I ordered 4 lip pencils, 2 eye pencils, 1 cream rouge blush, 5 lipsticks, 1 liquid eye liner, a duo sharpener, another eyeshadow base, and lastly, 1 mega shine lip gloss. This time around I decided to build my collection by purchasing lip and eye products.

My order should be here by Thursday, so you all will definitely see another post with swatches! I also paid less than $50 for the entire purchase, and shipping was FREE!!! Can't beat that!
