Coastal Scents Go Palette in London [Swatches]

I am so happy that I picked up this London Go Palette from Coastal Scents. I really love how pigmented the eyeshadows are. They are a little powdery but nothing too extreme, just make sure to apply an eyeshadow primer so the shadows last longer. Let me know what you think about the swatches in the comment section below :)

If you get the chance to pick up something from Coastal Scents, I really recommend that you check out their Go Palettes. They have 7 different palettes to choose from and all the colors are beautiful and pigmented. The London Go Palette is also available in the Coastal Scents Go Palette Set. Its out of stock at the moment but Im sure it will be available again soon. You can find the Go Palette Set here.

Beijing is the next Go Palette on my Wishlist. You can find it here :)

Have you tried the Go Palettes from Coastal Scents? :)

Coastal Scents Haul: Brushes, Nail Polishes and Go Palette in London

I recently ordered some products from Coastal Scents when they were having 50% of their entire website (I believe this was their Black Friday offer) and I wanted to share the items I picked up with you.

Its been a long time since I have ordered anything from Coastal Scents so it was fun to see new products on their website. I ended up ordering 3 brushes, 6 nail polishes and an eyeshadow palette from their Go Palette Collection. Let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you think about them :)

If you have seen my nail polish collection and storage post, you all know how much I love nail polishes haha! Im super excited to try these out, especially Cosmic, it looks so unique and beautiful in the bottle :)

The Pro Blending Fluff Brush looks similar to Sigma's E25 brush. Im excited to see how these two compare to each other. The Pro Blending Fluff Brush by Coastal Scents is only $3.95 while the E25 by Sigma Beauty is $9. If you are on a budget, the Pro Blending Fluff Brush by Coastal Scents is definitely worth checking out :)

No7 Mini Beautifier [Swatches]

Yesterday I went by Boots to pick up this No7 Mini Beautifier. They were having 50% of (part of their Advent Calendar deals) and since Im new to this brand and their products I decided to pick it up and give it a try :)

Inside this cute little kit you get three eyeshadows in Innocence, Truffle and Wheatsheaf. High Shine Whisper (lipgloss), Bronze Rollerball Shimmer (Limited Edition for gift only) Mascara (Limited Edition for gift only) and two eyeshadow applicators :)











I paid $12.50 for this kit (original price is $25) which is a good deal for 6 sample products. I love trying out mini products before going out and buying the full sized ones. I have bought some full sized products that I didn't like and its just a waste of money if you ask me.

I love how small and compact this kit is, its great for travelling since you get some variation of products to play with. Its also perfect to keep in your handbag since its so small and it wont take up much space. I cant wait to play around with it :)

How do you feel about mini products? Do you like them? :)

Nail Look: Grey Skies & Confetti Kisses

Yesterday I tried out my new nail polish from No7 called Grey Skies. I picked this up at Boots a few weeks ago and I absolutely love the color. Grey Skies is a beautiful steely grey color that dries with an even, glossy finish. Its also quick drying, dried within the minute which is good :)








Products Used:
♥ Ridge Filler Base Coat from NYX.
♥ No7 Nail Polish in Grey Skies.
♥ H&M Nail Polish in Confetti Kisses.
♥ Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

I have to say that Im not a big fan of the the brush though, its too thick and I think it was a little difficult to apply the nail polish. I do prefer the smaller brushes just because I find them easier to work with and the result looks better :)
