Unboxing new beauty products and review: Coastal Scents

Hello there. If you can't already tell from the title, this post is about makeup:) Let me start off by saying this isn't my first time purchasing from Coastal Scents. I have the revealed 1&2 pallettes and a full makeup brush set. I use my brush set all the time and my revealed pallettes are my go to neutral pallettes.  I decided since I love everything about my revealed pallettes,  that I would check the website for some more shadows. I cam across Coastal Scents individual hot pots. You can use these pots in a Z pallette or in a Coastal Scents magnetic pallette. They have a ton of colors you can choose from and they are so inexpensive. They are about $1.95 each and they constantly are on sale for $.99. They have shimmery shades and matte shades. So I ordered 9 shades to start off with. I do not own a Z pallette so I ordered their magnetic pallette for $5.95. The magnetic pallette I ordered hold 12 pots. The other items I purchased at the same time were a beautiful cool matte pinky blush and a blending eyeshadow brush. I'm going to share a few pics then I am going to get right into my review:)

Packaging review
I love that coastal scents products come in a very recognizable box. The products are snug and secure with paper. The contents came with my order, a complimentary blush sample, and cute 'I love makeup' stickers.  My hot pots and sample came in a black organza bag, while my other products were individually packed.

Magnetic Case
I was really surprised how sturdy this case was. Especially since it was only $5.95! Major steal!! It comes with the 12 open slots for your hot pots and a large mirror.  Over all, I super love it and would purchase again.

9 hot pots
 I purchased a blend of shimmery and matte colors. So far I am loving all of them. Really pigmented and lasts all day. Really feeling the olive green tones (can you tell?  I ordered about 3 or 4 different green shades:) If you would like me to list which hot pots I ordered, let me know and I will do so. Definitely will be purchasing more colors!

Blush in the shade Beautiful
Totally in love with this shade. It is a matte cool shade of a mauve-y pink. I am starting to explore outside of my basic peachy shimmery blushes.  This is a beautiful color (no pun intended lol). So glad I purchased. And just like all my other products,  pigmentation is amazing. Will definitely be exploring their other blushes.

Blending brush 
I am feeling this eyes shadow brush. Perfect for popping colors in your crease and blending the color to perfection. It is very soft and the perfect size. I have a few different blending brushes,  but I find them to be either too big, too small, to wide, too stiff...you get the picture. So I am super pleased with my new brush.

Over all, great purchase. I didn't regret anything I bought at all. Being that I loved everything,  I am pretty sure I will be ordering more products from Coastal Scents in the near future.  Until my next post!!
