NYX HD Eyeshadow Base

Hated it first love it now

At first this product wasn't used much due to horrible creasing. Every time I used it the eyeshadow applied came off before an hour was up. I stopped using it because it wasn't work for me. I do have oily lids so I just thought the product wasn't suit for me. At the beginning of this week I started using this again and tried applying less and fanning my eyelids to set it. I do live in a tropical climate so the humidity made it hard for it to set as fast as it should so I discovered a way to make it work for me. I apply a thin layer to my clean dry eyelids before anything at all. I then fan them till the product sets and make sure before it does that it is even. After that I dust a light powder matching my skin-tone to prevent oil. Apply my makeup and I found that It works wonders. The first time I started this process my eyeshadow lasted the entire day. A bit of fading but no smudging or shifting. Pleasantly surprised. Wonderful product just have to make it work for your skin type.

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream

First off this product was one I was really looking forward to using. Sadly I was disappointed from the start. This had to be the worst moisturizer/ BB cream I've ever used. Its thin, poor coverage, oily texture and just plain horrible for using as a cover up. Not to mention runny. The product got in my eye and really didn't stop hurting for hours after. Wonderful scent, horrible product. I liked it for the description as it was labeled SPF but overall I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For a good BB cream I recommend the oil-free Garnier one.

Coastal Scents Hot Pot Shadows

Bought the 252 Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette

First of all it's a pretty great bargain at $25 Plenty of colors to go around and most of the colors are very pigmented. This palette includes matte, shimmer and satin finishes. They are very organized and come in a matte plastic case for easy travel. Hot Pots- With this palette you can decide which colors you love and then buy those colors individually using the 252 Ultimate Palette, Hot Pot Reference Guide. I think that's what I loved about Coastal scents the most. That they have palettes you can customize. Go to their site and find 252 Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette then below the description there is a link that takes you to a photo where the palette and all its swatches are displayed from there you can choose what you want to buy individually. With this option you can choose the size you want and the quantity. There is little to say bad about this product except for the bit of fallout and smaller pots but with a good primer I would suggest this to anyone that wants a starter kit.
