20% off Coastal Scents Cosmetic Brushes/Cases
So...I call myself needing to organize my makeup brushes and try out a new brush I have been wanting for a while now. I think what made me purchase tonight is the fact that I got 20% off and shipping was so low. I like feeling like I got a good deal even if it was good to begin with. lol
An elegant design using faux (imitation) snake skin pattern in magenta. They have another one that inludes 15 brushes for $39.95 but I only wanted the case since I have enough brushes.
Firm yet as soft as our other winning synthetic Kabuki's, you will find it is dense with just the right amount of firmness for control. This has a pointed dome shape for gently applying your loose minerals, bronzer and blush with precision.
Measures just below 2 1/2" total length, 1" in diameter, shiny black ferrule.
I plan to use the brush to apply liquid foundation. It seems like it would be great for reaching in odd places like around the nose! They also have a mini one for $5.95 but I just feel like its toooo tiny for me but it would make applying concealer easy for anyone who wants it.
So I ended up paying $24.73 including $2.41 for USPS First Class Shipping. I'm finally going to get my makeup collection in some kind of shape!
Orginal Price: $12.95
Sale Price: $10.36

Shoe Dazzle Kiera
I can't decide...
I can't decide which color I like more. I'm not sure how nude the lighter color will be or how dark the navy color will be. I have tons of black shoes but no blue...I have a couple of white colored wedges and a pair of light tan flats but no nude color. Some nudes don't "go well" with my coloring so that's where my dilemma comes from...
Any comments?

UNII Palette
$29
Product Features
Color: Pomegranate (Pink/Red)
Magnetized Palette, so makeup stays put
Adhesive magnetic sheet with writable labels
Large, full-sized mirror for the makeup on the go
Movable thumb grip
Tight, rubberized seal prevents leaks
The palette comes in a few colors: snow (white), twilight (blue), eggplant (dk purple), pomegranate (pink but looks a tad red), lemonegrass (yellow), and coal (black).
I was a bit hesitant to order as the palette looks a tad small. I was interested in the unii palette, the z-palette, and the MAC palette.
The MAC palette, according to the many YouTube videos I watched, the palette seems to be sort of flimsy when it comes to protecting your makeup during travel. I did like the price though.
The Z-palette is made of cardboard and is about the same size as the MAC palette. While I haven't had a problem with any Urban Decay cardboard palette, I wasn't sure how well the cardboard would hold up for constant travel.
The UNII Palette is the smallest out of all three palettes. That was a big reason why I muddled over the decision for so long. One good thing is that it comes with its own magnetic strips so I wont have to purchase any separately. It's made of plastic and seems to be quite sturdy.
I also looked at other palettes like the one from coastal scents but theirs don't magnetize with MAC shadows well. Since I have mostly MAC shadows that was a big thing for me but due to price I might pick up one from coastal scents later.
I decided on the UNII palette because of what it is made up of and the ease of being able to travel with it. I might purchase the Z-palette depending on how well I like the unii one. If I fall in love with it I will purchase another! I purchased the unii palette through Amazon.com only because I received gift cards from completing a survey. From amazon you had to pay $1 for shipping bringing the total for the palette to $30. Considering I didn't have to actually pay for the palette, I'm happy. Hopefully I love it!
Did I really just win?!??
