My CoastalScents.com shopping cart....

... as of right now. I can't really call this a wishlist, because it doesn't include eyeshadow palettes, blush palettes, metal pans, etc. You get it right? Haha. As much as I would like those items, I don't really need them. I have a lot of makeup and I'll pass on those..for now. Haha.

Here goes my list:

Silica Powder Spheres $4.00
Gel Liners: Grape Vine $6.95
Gel Liners: True Black $6.95
Black Deluxe Shadow $2.49
Sable Blending Brush $2.90
Tapered Crease Eye Brush $2.49
Pink Round Crease Eye Brush $1.49

I'm being pretty cheap right now. But are there any other items that I must get?! Haha. I'm also kind of holding off, because I want a shopping code! I just saw one recently that was $10 of your purchase of $75, but I am not going to spend that much.. Haha. Anyone got one for free shipping? Eh? Haha.

See ya!

Coastal Scents Gel Liners

Have you seen them!? I've seen a couple swatches on youtube and beauty blogs and I am IN LOVE! They are $6.95 each and I don't know if I should spend that on it. It's funny. I have no problem paying for MAC, but I'm hecka cheap when it comes to drugstore products. I always go for the "buy one, get one free" or "buy one, get one half off". I don't know what I would define coastal scents as, in between maybe?

** okay i just did research online.
Coastal Scents describes their gel liners as: "If compared to HIP gels these are a several steps above in quality, they compare to MAC..."
-As far as the weigh goes, I've noticed that MAC fluidline is creamier than HIP cream liners, so maybe this can be a good thing?

I've also noticed that Coastal Scents now has empty pans that are "same size as MAC" and that they have empty palettes that have "same pan size as MAC", so obviously they know that MAC is popular and trying to compete with them and build their customer base. I have seen many pros and cons on products from Coastal Scents and am hesitant to try them. I know I've seen a Walgreen's ad once that said, "if you love MAC or Dior, you'll love HIP" (or something like that) and decided to try it because it was cheaper than MAC. So who knows, maybe I'll try it and end up loving it. I like what I've seen from Coastal Scents so far, it's the brushes that make me think. But hey, it's a good price, so you're not losing much.

Christy!! Let's buy some stuff!

PLEASE don't sell out!

MAC's collection Manish Arora came out online today. Today is also the day that the eyeshadow palette sold out. OMG. I believe it comes on in stores on Thursday, but I won't have funds to buy it until a week a so. I am bummed! This one really caught my eye because of the packaging and the colors inside. I already have Deep Truth, but it such a better value to buy this palette of 6 colors for $38, than to buy each eyeshadow for $14.

Take a look at this!
