Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette Review

Now I know that every high end makeup catches your eyes like the Urban Decay naked palettes or the new Tartlette palette. The thing is these pricey palettes have the colors that you're interested in and most of the eyeshadows are matte. You sure can get carried away in buying those expensive eyeshadow palettes where as you can buy tons of cheaper eyeshadows with the same cash spent. Surely, you will think "But is it pigmented?" or "Does it blend as well?" My answer to you is most of the cheaper eyeshadows, most of the times, have better quality and yes, you can blend all you want honey. There's quite an amount of beginners out there who are searching for an eyeshadow palette with a variety of colors and also at a great deal.

Are you in need of an eye shadow palette but you're on a budget? I've always wanted one. Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette will fulfill your wish. This palette simply replaces most of the high end eye shadow palettes. Coastal Scents is known for their eyeshadows very well as well as makeup brushes/sets, contour palettes and the good news is the prices are extremely affordable. For my beauties on a budget get yourself to the Coastal Scents website and start shopping ASAP. You won't regret a penny spent. After buying this palette, you won't ever have to worry again about buying another eyeshadow palette. It's a great palette to play around with. I've used the palette two to three times and I am impressed so far.

                                                      Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette




The Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette consists of a variety of colors from the brightest to the darkest. If you favor a neutral eye look for work on Monday, the colors are there or if you want a bright bold eye makeup for the summer just look in to your Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette.Most of the colors are a matte finish while a few of them have a shimmer touch to it. The shimmery ones are wearable for an everyday wear.. A mirror is attached to the palette and it also come with two foam applicators, which mostly comes with all eyeshadow palettes. They are useless to me since I'm not a fan of them. I use my makeup brushes or sometimes my fingertips.

The colors are highly pigmented but I must say as for the lighter shades at the top you might have to use your fingers to apply onto the eyelid since they are of a chalky texture. It's not very applicable with a brush. Also can apply them wet or use a primer on your eyelids before applying it. I haven't tried doing those solutions but after doing researches, that's what I've came up with. It's simply a hit and miss palette. I know there are some you of out there that choose the bright colors but me, I go more for a neutral or smokey look.  As for the price of it, it's just right for your budget. It's available on the Coastal Scents website right now for just US$10.95. If you plan on going somewhere and wish to take the palette with you, the case is very light and it will fit just as a thin book in your baggage.


I recommend you get this palette after exiting this blog. You won't regret it afterwards especially if you're a beginner and most beginners are on a budget. Purchasing Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette will save you money from buying many other makeup palettes because of the range of colors it has.

Lip Combo - Best For Brown Girls

Looking for pink lips to match your skin tone? Don't worry. I have you covered. NK auto lip liners will be your best friend on your go to days, particularly on the days you want to wear pink lips. I have purchased NK lipsticks in the past and I must say they are pretty pigmented so I decided to experiment on the lip liners. The combination that I use will give you the right fushcia lips for a brown girl.The pigmentation of the auto lip liners aren't a hundred percent there but it works. I have dark pigmented lips and that's mostly why I created this combination because the lip liner just doesn't go well for me with only one of them.

I purchased these NK auto lip liners from a local beauty supply store and it is extremely affordable. The cost of one is $GYD400 ($US2.00). I got them in the colors Deep Pink (AA31) and Red (AA18). Honestly, I bought them to wear under lipsticks but then I just stared wearing them alone cause it looks just like lipstick. The finish off the lip liner is semi-matte but u can make it completely matte if you'd like. Visit my post that will demonstrate you how to make your lipstick matte and you can use for the liner too. They go on very smoothly onto the lips, like butter. It will come off after eating and drinking but it does leave a stain behind so no worries. Reapply if you chose to.

Before applying the lip liner, I moisture my lips. I recommend you to always moisture your lips before applying any lip product. Afterwards, I line my lips with the red auto lip liner and fill in my entire lips with it. Next, using the deep pink auto lip liner I place it on top of the red on the complete lips. Sometimes I go back in the with the red to line my lips just for a little definition or I leave it as it is. Whatever my mood is on the day I wear this combo, I either top it with a lip gloss, make it matte or stop right there after applying the pink lip liner. It's also your choice to use the pink lip liner first and then the red as for me it looks too pink for my skin tone but you can give it try. Experiment and see what you like.

My Go To Foundation - LA Colors Liquid Makeup

LA Colors is one of my favorite makeup brands. Their product quality is amazing for a drugstore brand. I've bought lip liners, lip gloss, lipstick, nail polish also foundation and I must say I'm pretty impressed with them. For a beginner in makeup, I would suggest you to purchase makeup from that particular brand because of the cost. They have released a lot of new products lately and I'm hoping to try them out soon. I've been using their liquid makeup foundation for two years and for sure I will continue to do so. Do you want to know why?

                                                          LA Colors Liquid Makeup (Tan)

LA colors liquid makeup is very very very very cheap. It's the cheapest foundation I've known so far and I don't think any other foundation can be cheaper than this. Not only is it inexpensive but it's great quality. It's just the right foundation for a starter. You don't even have to worry about the difficulty to find your shade to match your skin tone since it comes in a range of nine different shades. I am in the shade tan and most of who you have olive skin tones I guess can use that. Even though your shade is not there you can purchase the amount of your choice to mix to match your skin tone since you don't have to think twice about the price. That rhymes, right?

However, it doesn't last all day maybe 6-8 hours. Living in a heated country it's kind of tough wearing foundation here but I make it work somehow. The foundation is very light weight and have a light coverage also. You can build it up to how much you like. I only use one layer and I apply it with a brush or a beauty blender. The consistency is very thick. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it to persons with acne/acne scars because of the light coverage it has. My face does have acne scars but I don't mind for the reason that I just wanna look made up. Besides, I like showing my acne scars for some reason. I will tell u that I sweat a lot around my mouth area so the foundation usually separates there and a little under my neck. Normally, I have a tissue with me and I blot wherever I perspire, apply some powder and I'm perfect again. After applying the liquid makeup, it will be sticky on your face so do set it with powder.

Make Your Lipstick Matte!

Matte lipsticks is the new trend at the moment for quite a while now. Personally, I am a huge fan of rocking matte lips especially because of the advantages it have. Majority of matte lipsticks doesn't transfer and the lasting power is amazing which I've always looked for in lipsticks. However, they can be drying on your lips. But who said you have to go and purchase one just because everyone else is? Liquid lipsticks can be quite expensive, particularly if you are a beginner or on a budget like me. Therefore, today I'm gonna share with you how to make your glossy lipsticks matte right at home. I'm pretty sure you have lipsticks hiding somewhere in the drawer. Bring them back to light! Your lipsticks and baby powder is all you need to mattify your lipsticks. These items are already at hand so no need to think about spending which is astonishing!

Before

                                                                            After                            

Firstly, I like to line my lips with a lip liner, the similar color of the lipstick, and apply my lipstick after for a more define look but you can absolutely skip lining your lips. Afterwards, I set the lipstick with the baby powder using a brush or my fingers. If you have translucent powder available feel free to use it instead of the baby powder. When setting the lipstick with powder, use a patting motion for better results. Another thing is do not place a huge amount of powder. Begin with a small amount and apply it little by little until all the glossiness is gone. Ensure that the powder is completely patted into the lips A little tip is not to rub your lips together after applying the powder as the lipstick will become messy. The taste will not be pleasant on your lips as it is powder but that's fine unless you have a habit of licking your lips. Also the color of the lipstick you are using will change to a lighter color because of the powder. The advantages are the same as any matte liquid lipsticks you would purchase except that it may tend to wear off if you plan on eating.

I've seen tissue being used to turn lipsticks matte also. All you have to do is get a sheet of toilet paper or any soft tissue and blot you lips. Also you can use a brush and pat on some baby powder onto the tissue while it is placed on the lips. That works too but the lipstick slightly transfers.

I've once purchased Kat Von D everlasting liquid lipstick and worn it for 10 hours and I must say I was very impressed. The lasting power was amazing and it didn't dry out my lips at all. Although it was quite expensive for me to purchase, especially when it's converted to Guyana Dollars, I don't regret buying it. Try out these steps and give me a feedback on how you like it. Take care!

No More Chapped Lips

Dry lips can occur because of numbering reasons such as shortage of moisture, dehydration and on top of that, the weather. It looks quite unattractive and can be painful especially when eating acidic foods.There are many home remedies that you can try to cure your dry, chapped lips but just give this product a test that I've been trying. I have always experienced hardship with cracked lips. My skin is dry and so is my lips. I've always had dried and chapped lips and tried everything on the market and every home remedy possible but nothing seems to help. My lips would peel to the worse sometimes that I am ashamed to leave the house for the reason of how noticeable it can be. Lipstick wouldn't cover it up at all but cause it to be visible more. I can jabber round the clock concerning this topic and how much I struggled for a cure. Fortunately, I was out shopping last week when I came across moisture therapy intensive healing and repair lip balm by Avon. It have been the best day in life ever since. Go and get yourself one of these lip balm ASAP! Why? Because your wish of having smooth, soft lips have finally been granted.  

Your lips will be kissably smooth. This lip balm is ultra hydrating and super moisturizing for your lips. It is very lightweight, have no fragrance and no taste. Better yet, it is extremely affordable and available about anywhere. I purchased mine from my local beauty supply store (Venu Shopping Centre) for just GYD$180 (Just under US$1). I've been using it for a week now and trust me the results are amazing. As I applied it to my lips I felt a difference right away and now it's by my side 24/7. Before applying any lip product to my lips, I assure that it's moisturized fully well with this lip balm. I see myself repurchasing this lip balm and I don't have a single thought of discontinuing it. Avon has never let me down in the past with their products and I will certainly continue to support them in the future.

I totally recommend this product to every person and you should suggest it to others too. One doesn't have to have dry lips to use it either as it will retain the softness and smoothness of the skin. Some will say it works as some may say it does not. If it doesn't work for you, then it may be because of the ingredients or the formula. Yet, don't think twice of purchasing it seeing that how inexpensive it is.

You can purchase this product directly from Avon, on Amazon or any of your beauty supply store.

Baby Oil Is Your New Makeup Remover.

Hello my beauties! Today I'm going to discuss with you why you should start using Baby Oil as a makeup remover. But, first, let me give a brief introduction as to who I am. I am a typical brown girl who lives in the beautiful land of Guyana. Guyana is a tropical country found in the continent of South America which consists of six different races and as for me, I am an East Indian! I am also a happily married woman to my wonderful Prince Charming. Okay, okay, I think that's enough for now. Let's get into business. My blog will enlighten you beautiful ladies about makeup and beauty and as you can tell by the name of my blog I am a makeup addict and I am sure most of you ladies are! Makeup for most of us is like a work of art, especially when it comes to that winged eyeliner.

When I introduced myself to makeup I didn't take it as serious as now. I was only 15 when I became a beginner and my makeup routine as a beginner was some face powder, eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss and I'm done. But as the time went by I wanted to add something more to my face and fortunately at the set time I was gifted the Victoria Secret Ultimate Studio Makeup Kit. That kit consists of everything you need for makeup except for foundation and concealer. The eyeshadows are what made me love the kit more because the colors are just right for me. Some days I would be in my room experimenting and playing around with the eyeshadows. But what did I take it all off with when I'm done?

The first makeup remover I got was by DICKINSON'S. It has a very mild scent, takes off my makeup completely but when it gets into my eyes it burns so bad. I'm not sure of the price of it but I'm definitely sure that my new makeup remover, Baby Oil, is much affordable. Now let me tell about my skin. I have really dry, flaky skin and living in a hot country makes it worse for me. My dry patches can be noticed when I wear makeup. If too much of foundation and powder is applied to my face it gets cakey which makes me go crazy. I would prefer having oily skin rather than dry skin. I've been using baby oil to moisturize my skin and also as a makeup remover.

Baby oil is basically mineral oil and perfume. Persons are afraid of using mineral oils but you should do that they are refined and purified when it is used for skin care products. Obviously, if it wasn't safe, mothers wouldn't be using it for their babies and also themselves. Baby oil is available everywhere in the world and very inexpensive. I bought mine from my local beauty supply store. Of course you don't have to get the exact one I got. There's Johnson's, Lander and other brands supplying baby oil. This oil works for all skin type usually if you have dry skin like me then start substituting your makeup remover with baby oil. When the day is up and you're back at home, tired and ready to remove your makeup grab yourself a sheet of toilet paper or any soft tissue and pour a few drops of baby oil onto it. Trust me, a little goes a long way. Certainly, if you are using toilet paper, more than one sheet will be used. Rubbing the toilet paper/tissue in circular motions on your entire face it will become oily but look at again. What happened? Where did your makeup go? Magic! It's all gone. You can repeat the step again until your face is absolutely clean, Wash your face with soap or any cleanser and apply baby oil onto your face again to keep the moisture. If you are heading into the shower after removing your makeup then don't hesitate to lather your skin right after shower to keep that moisture in your skin, mostly if you are experiencing dry skin as me.
