Coastal Scents Swatches Pt. 4!

Hey Upsessers! 
I have yet another installment in the Coastal Scents swatches posts. There should be two more posts after this one to finish up all 56 eyeshadows. Today's post will be all about GREYS AND BLACKS. The final two will be matte browns and shimmer browns just because there are so many browns I need to break them up into two posts...so stay tuned for those! But like I have been saying I am amazed at the quality of these eyeshadows! They are so silky smooth, super pigmented, and long lasting with no fall out or creasing and the best part they are only $1.99!! So again if you have not done your self the favor of checking out their site you should, and for the record I receive nothing from Coastal Scents for saying these things about their product, I am just a very happy customer and I wanna scream it from the roof tops and share it with all of you makeupsessers so you can celebrate in the goodness too!! 
Greys:
Ash Grey: matte soft taupey grey 
Bazaar: shimmer silky grey with a slight golden hue super pretty! 
Concrete Jungle: shimmer smokey grey with a purple hue
Thunderous: shimmer dark grey with a golden shimmer tint
Gypsy Night: is a very pretty unique color a shimmer dark grey/black with green and gold glitter specks flickering throughout (looks lighter in pic than actual) 
Gunpowder: is another not so common color very dark grey I would personally say almost black with a beautiful bronze amber shimmer throughout (looks lighter in pic than actual)
So now onto the Swatches Enjoy!

Coastal Scents Swatches Pt. 3!

Hello Upsessers!
Today I have Part 3 of the Coastal Scent Swatches and this post will feature the GORGEOUS GREENS of my collection! I am in love with every one of these colors, the silky texture and rich color pay off with the added bonus of a great price $1.99 each you can NOT beat it! I'm serious if you have not ordered from Coastal Scents I don't know what your waiting for, because you are seriously missing out on GREAT QUALITY products for LOW PRICES! So on with the individual descriptions and swatch pictures! 

Shimmers:
Golden Avocado: It is a beautiful golden green/olive color comparable to MACs Old Gold pigment.
Balsam: Is an amazing bright green with a golden duo chrome/hue to it, think granny smith apple mixed with pure gold. 
Dark Golden Olive: Great partner shade to Golden Avocado it is dark forest green color with a hint of gold throughout.

Matte:
Olive: The name says it all think true dirty martini olive shaken not stirred! 
M05: This color is almost a true green matte shade but skims the border of forest green because it is a little on the darker side.
Pinehurst: Picture your pine christmas tree and you'll know exactly what this color looks like, true to its name pine, pine, pine!
Olivewood: I didn't know whether to include this in browns or greens but because of the name I placed it here. It is very army green meets khaki, a truly unique color and quite possibly one of my favorites out of the bunch!

Now on to the swatches enjoy!!

Mini NYX Haul!

Hello Upsessers!  
So I decided to take a small break from more Coastal Scent's swatches to do a mini NYX haul! So I was recently shopping around Urban Outfitters and came across some clearance NYX makeup and I was like SCORE! So I grabbed three cream stick blushes and one cream stick bronzer. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them all! 
The stick blushes I purchased were in the colors:
 Orchid: which is a BEAUTIFUL shimmer pink peach color, it is to die for and the photo does it no justice!
Magnolia: Is a very pretty baby pink with a little undertone of purple no shimmer almost a matte finish. 
Tea Rose: Is just that a mauvey tea rose pink with the just lightest bit of shimmer sheen.
NYX bronzer in Bronzy Lambada: Is a gorgeous golden bronze with shimmery gold reflects through out. 
So on to the photos!
