So I'll do a little review on the new makeup I got. Firstly, I LOVE the gel liner I got! I have yet to use the white yet because we all know I love lining my eyes with black. I have had a liner brush since I got the cream liner from Merle Norman YEARS ago and of course it is dried out and doesn't work like it should anymore, which is why I ordered it from Coastal Scents. It goes on so smooth, it's absolute black and a little dab goes a LONG way. I HIGHLY recommend this product if you're looking for something very dark to line your eyes with. And because it requires a thin liner brush, you can apply and thick or thin as you want, unlike cream or regular pencil liners that only allow you the option of how thick the point is (and the point always gets flattened out after a few uses).
True Black Gel Liner $6.95
I also ordered the dual end eyeshadow pencil that they were out of stock on my last order; Mystery Wand. It is a white and black. The black has a bit of white glitter in it. I haven't used this or the other pencil as eyeshadow, I've used this black one as a liner and the cream one I have for the inside corner of my eyes. I haven't used the white on this yet but using the black as a liner is alright but I find it's best paired with the gel liner for the corners of the eye (so you can get a clean line instead of that jagged one due to my eye blinking).
Dual End Eyeshadow Pencil $2.95
Because I was trying to get their deal of buy $25 get $5 off, I stocked up on some sample eyeshadows. All samples were $0.95 Here we go:
Apricot Mist - I don't see me using this often, but it looks like it will be a nice accent color.
Fairy Wings - I LOVE this. It makes a nice light accent color and I found myself using it as the main top color the last few days because it's light, doesn't take away focus on the main colors and is still a pretty addition.
Vampin' Red - It does NOT look like the photo. It's more of a black with lots of red glitter. I haven't used it yet but you know me and my black.
Odyssey - I haven't used it yet but it's pretty light. Like a natural color I might use just under my eyebrows.
Key Lime - Haven't used it and I don't really like the color green (and I think it's not right to wear green if you have green eyes) but I figured I'd get it to try green for once (despite having a pallet that has green in it).
I'd like to point out that these sample pots for less than $1 is quite a lot! I don't know what the size actually is, but here's a photo. Compare with my hand (reminder: my hands are a little smaller than most people). Of course it doesn't come full, not even half full, maybe a quarter full. But for powder that you're only going to use a little of, $0.95 is great. I haven't tried any wet, I'd like to try some powder wet at some point.
And here's a photo of some of the stuff I used today:
I used the pencil liner and used the gel liner to smooth out the corners, I used a red to line on top of that (which came from the pallet from my last order and honestly didn't go to well with the rest of it, but oh well), above that a pinkish color (also from the pallet), on top the Fairy Wings, the glittery corners is Hysteric from Sugarpill, some mascara (I like the lash blast fusion I have) and some eyebrow powder (I have a Paula Dorf 2 +1 powder and wax thingy).
