Coastal Scents Haul: Hot Pot & Brushes + Swatches ♡

I decided to pick up a few of Coastal Scent's Hot Pots and a couple of their brushes. I was able to pick up these hot pots for only 99 cents. (Retail: $1.95) I chose these over MAC / Makeup Geek eye shadows because they were very affordable without sacrificing so much of the quality. Not only that, but Coastal Scents provides a large variety of over 300 different eye shadows. What I love about the site is that you can shop exactly for what your looking for, by the finish and/or by the color. 

What you can expect with these eye shadows is that a few maybe chalkier than others, in some cases you do get what you paid for. In other cases, you get amazing quality. (Majority of the time)

I definitely took a lot of time researching in which ones I wanted to buy. I spent time searching up swatches of every single one and watched videos which was tiring. I know this would be very helpful to those of you who are considering to buy any of these items. Enjoy!

Brushes:

1. Pro Blending Fluff

2. Classic Blender Natural

I've heard many great things about these brushes. Especially the Pro Blending Fluff. A dupe for the famous MAC #217 Blending Brush. I personally haven't tried that one, but I will be testing the other one out.

All pictures below are in natural lighting.

Hot Pots:

Left - Right:

Powder Pink, Chamois Nude, Reef Sand, Flesh Tone

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Left - Right: 

Sunflower Petal, Cantaloupe Slice, Tangelo Tint, Peach Brew, Dark Mango

(If you're deciding if you should get Sunflower Petal. Don't. It's very powdery and chalky. I'd recommend the next one over, Cantaloupe Slice. Which is pretty much the same thing, but it's way smoother and silkier.)

These came with the orders! I'm assuming when you purchase something they'll throw in one of these samples so you can try. These are hot pot colors, but in a smaller size. I did order 2 times that's why I have two. I thought this was a pretty neat idea so you can order the full size if you loved it!
