Cirque Du Soleil inspired



Ok so to get this look I used the fair color in my RCMA Palette, black pencil from wet'n wild and black eyeliner from coastal scents. I used the vibrant pink in the 88 palette and faded it in to the a light pink and orangey/coral color. For the little forehead piece I made I used cardboard then put a layer of pink glitter on it and then glued sequins on top.

Coastal Scents Gel Liner
So I don't think I'm ever getting that black "gel" liner from coastal scents again it dries sooo quick. I used it on this look and so what i did was i scraped some on my spatula and used it from there and if I didn't use it immediately it starts to crumble on the spatula and it just wasn't usable so I had to scrape more off. For the short period I've had the jar I've used a lot. I hear so many reviews on MACS fluid line how fast that dries but mine is fine and it doesn't dry as fast as Coastal scents does. I think I'm going to have to stick with MAC sorry CS.

Coastal Scents HD Foundation Review

Coastal Scents HD Foundation in shades 14, 07, and 01
I bought the lightest shade the middle shade and the darkest shade so I'd be able to mix and get the perfect shade for most people. I tried it on today and I can't say its not amazing or the best foundation I've used. I've gotten a better finish with my MAC Studo Sculpt foundation. I'm going to try different ways in applying it and different amounts to see if it gets any better. The way I like to apply it is I put a small amount on a palette and dip my MAC 109 brush in it. Then I stipple and swirl so I'm not using a lot on my face. It's a light to medium finish. Compared to MUFE's HD foundation I can't say it's the same at all. MUFE's HD is a heavier coverage and it gives you an airbrush finish like face. As I was playing with Coastal Scents HD on my hand it felt like I had to put a good a mount on my skin to make it seem airbrushed like. and So of course HD means it should look great on camera right? I do like how it didn't give me a whitish haze on my face so that's one plus but it still looks like its missing something in the ingredients. I absolutely love my MAC studio sculpt even on camera I have nothing bad to say about it. So all in all Coastal Scents HD Foundation its a good foundation if you want a cheap foundation that gives you a light to medium foundation. I don't exactly know if it's "HD' if you know what I mean. But try it out for your self when they have a sale going on I bought mine when everything on their site was 25% off. If your an NC 40 in MAC the shade 07 should match you.






Coastal Scents Gel liner in True black
It's like anyother gel liner but a when I stuck my spatula in it, it was kind of hard. I had to warm it up back in for with a brush. So it's still a good alternative to MAC fluidline
