QUOTE(Comptine @ Dec 9 2008, 03:45 AM)  I am slowly becoming addicted to makeup. And I just splurged on my first "big" purchased. Can't wait to get it in the mail!  I'm paying 30 dollars for 120 e/s! So excited. And Youtube reviews have good reviews; so does MUA. I'm mostly a beginner but once I get a hang of more complicated looks, I'm going to invest in Coastal Scent's Neutral Palette. SO EXCITED! QUOTE(heartquasm @ Dec 9 2008, 03:50 PM) only $21? o.O shit, i sort of want it. when you try it on, tell me how the colors go on. big pallets like this usually tend to disappoint me :( |

I paid my shipment and I should get the palette soon. I opted for the 120 palette because the coastal scents 88 palette is all shimmer. This one has matte, shimmer and some pearl =) I'll definitely do some swatches if you want to see.
I'm just a little worried because I didn't get insurance (it was half the cost of the actual product and the shipping/handling was more than the actual product). Hopefully, if it does get damaged, it would only be cracked and easily repressable. |

^ The CS 88 palette has a matte version, actually I'm sure that was the original palette. Then they came out with the 88 shimmer.
Matte (although they never really describe it as matte, just "not very shimmery", but I hear from other people that it's pretty much just matte. http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/in...-matte-case.cfm Ultra shimmer: http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/in...dow-palette.cfm |

^ That looks really rosy and pretty. But I can't really see any gold. I guess it's the lighting.

Love it Steph! The colors work really well together and with your skin tone. I need to get some good blending brushes.
Testing out my Clinique smudge pot eyeliner. YAY!!! And have some Sephora Limited Edition lipstick. Oooh, and with Covergirl Mascara, the one for specific eyecolors.   |

Rachel, how do you like the cream eyeliner? And you have gorgeous eyes, btw.
I've been testing my new wunderfullll palette.  Layer 1 (  Layer 2 (which I have yet to use) I've been using the browns the most. I played around and smoked out my most commonly used look. The blending could be better.    |

^OOH the marbly colours look so cool. The last row in the top layer has me droolin'. I love neutrals. I reeeeally want that neutral palette from Coastal Scents! Ugh and you have such nice bone structure.
Steph, I swear Cranberry just looks great on you! Love the lipstick, Rachel! With the liner it looks so retro and gorgeous. You do have very pretty eyes. /jealous Playing with my new MAC stuff. Huge-ass picture alert. Eyes: combination of a few random browns + purples, and new Femme-Fi (LOVE THIS. Best. Highlighter. Colour. Ever.) And of course I used my new brush, the 226! Cheeks: Nuance mineralize blush + new Redhead MSF Lips: The redder one is the new Strawberry Blonde lipglass, the lighter one is Live and Dye lipglass. Dunno when I will ever wear the dark pink/red one but it is very pretty! It's also not as neon-looking as it is in the first pic.     Corny picture, but it really shows off the MSF well. :) |

Thanks =)
The marbly colors are amazing. Very bright and multi-dimensional even after blending. The browns are what I use the most. There's one that gives me a yellowish tint that's weird but I keep forgetting which one. The shimmer is amazing. Love the Live and Dye lip glass. I think the eye look works great with both lip colors. Flawless like always, btw. |

Dude that's SO COOL! I always wanted to get an eyelash perm because while eyelash curling alone suffices, it's still a pain to do it every day.

Haven't posted here in awhile :P
Decided to mess around with my makeup last night (on only one eye though). Sadly, the pictures don't do it justice, the color got all washed out  Just did a basic smoky eye.Without fake eyelashes   With fake eyelashes    Hate that my eyelashes don't curl... an eyelash perm sounds great

I'm getting kind of annoyed with my eyelashes now... the ones on my left eye are a little bit more curled than the ones on my right, so it looks kind of unbalanced. And it gets really frustrating when I have my glasses on because my left lashes touch the lens and it feels funny.

lol i have a habit of plucking my eyelashes and i like the noise it makes. is eyelash perm the shit where they glue each individual lash to your eyelashes? shit, i had that for two weeks before it started irritating the crap out of me. though they told me not to, i ended up waking up in the middle of the night to pluck every single one out.

^ Gahh, that sounds somewhat painful!! No, the eyelash perm I got involved some rod/stick and some thing that looked like saran wrap. I think they just put some chemical on my lashes and rolled them up. It smelled like a hair salon afterward. =\
