FOTD: The Golden Girl...

I decided that FOTD's are going to be a weekly thing now, if not more often. After last week's "Green Eyed Monster" look, I thought today I would go for something more toned down. It was really sunny this morning, and still is now but not as much, so I went for slight yellow tones and golds. With a pop of Pink on my lips. Here it is...





I have unsymmetrical lips, yes I know.

So here's the Face products I used today...
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream, Light 
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, Fair 
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder, Translucent 
NYC Cheek Glow Blusher, Central Park Pink 

Eyes...


NYC Eye Lash Curler
Miss Sporty Pump Up Lash Booster Mascara, Black 
Miss Sporty XX Volume Mascara, Black 
MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil, Snow White 
MUA Single Eyeshadow, Shade 2
Avon Glow Powder Eyeshadow, Golden Sand 

I also used a eyeshadow from the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette. The shade used is marked with a "X"


Lips...
  
Barry M Lip Paint, 155 Pretty Pink 
MUA Lip gloss, Shade 3 

I only slightly patted the Lip Paint onto my lips, then blended it out with my finger. Which is why it isn't as bold looking.

Review: Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette

I don't think I've reviewed any palettes yet on my blog, and since this is easily one of my favourites out of my whole collection I wanted it to be the first I review on my blog!

Most of you by now have probably heard of Coastal Scents before at some point? You can only buy their products online I think, but I got this palette of Ebay for a Easter Present and lets just say its A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!


The image is slightly blurry I no :(


When you open the palette theres a fairly sized mirror. Along with 2 sponge applicators either side of the mirror. I tend to use brushes though as there easier to use. These are good if you don't have any though or are just starting out in make up.

On the back the ingredients are listed, along with the Coastal Scents website at the bottom.

Okay now lets take a look at the actual eyeshadows themselves!


I took two photos of the eyeshadows to show you at different angles.


This palette has a great range of colours to choose from! Ranging from browns, to bold greens and blues, to purples and pinks this palette even has reds in it. Even though I will probably never wear a red eyeshadow, But I suppose you never know when it could come in handy!

These eyeshadows are actually extremely good quality! Even though each individual eyeshadow pan itself is only the size of a American dime, or as i read, I couldn't tell you that exactly as i don't have a dime. You still get a more then generous amount of eyeshadow overall as a whole palette.

So how pigmented are they?
See for yourselves!

Blurry...AGAIN :(
Also I won't swatch the whole palette as it would take to long, but if you want any specif swatches comment below on which ones and I will gladly do them for you!

These eyeshadows make the application of eyeshadow really easy and super speedy, they are really pigmented so the colour appears very bold/opaque within a few swipes with a brush. The formula is really easy to blend as well, and these eyeshadows definitely live up to the name of the palette. "Ultra Shimmer" they are definitely packed full of shimmer, not to much shimmer that there overwhelming. However if you don't like shimmer then these aren't for you.  The staying power is amazing, and i haven't actually got anything bad to say about this palette.

Thanks for Reading!:)
