Coastal Scents Undercover High Definition Foundation

I have been using this foundation for a couple of weeks now and so I decided to do a little review. This is a medium coverage foundation (compared with Revlon Color Stay). I tried a few different ways to get the best coverage and finish.

First I used my fingers. That works great. The foundation blended well and didn't look too heavy or too light. I used the MAC 190 to go lightly over the corners of my nose and the edges of my face just to make sure every thing is nice and blended.

Next I tried the MAC 190 brush. I felt the foundation got a little cakey.

I also tried the MAC 187 brush. Usually I only use this brush if I want light coverage. I thought it gave a great finish and blended nicely.

Next I tried 2 different powders to set the foundation. I tried the MUFE HD powder and some L'oreal loose powder that I forget the name of. The MUFE worked WAY better. It allowed the foundation to keep the finish and helped it stay put longer.

I think this is a great foundation. I really love the pump that comes with it, it's easy to blend, and it is long lasting. The only things I don't care for are that it can get cakey if you don't moisturize well or if you use too much. Also, you have to pick a color off the website. I have trouble picking a color in person let alone on a website.

I think this foundation is definitely worth a try.

Bright Blue using Coastal Scents

Here's a look I did on Sunday.  I used a lime green color on the inner half of my eyes and a bright blue on the outer half and in the crease.  The lime green kind didn't turn out.  You can't really see that color and I'm not sure why but it still looked pretty good.  IMO.

Here I am

Wow!  I can't believe it's been so long since I did a blog entry.  I have just been doing all my usual things so I'm not sure why I haven't blogged lately.  Anyways, I've been reading some other blogs and they have inspired me to get back on the horse.

I'm very excited because I finally ordered some palettes from Coastal Scents!  Yea, to free shipping!  I should receive them sometime next week.  I'm a little worried though because it is extremely hot here and I hope the heat doesn't melt or destroy the makeup or palettes.  I'm sure I would freak out if that happened.  I'll be doing lots of looks with the palettes.  I won't promise that I will post all the looks I do, but I will definitely post some.

I will also be doing some reviews.  I have recently bought a few items that I want to share; some brushes from Beauty of Essence, the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse concealer, and the Maybelline Mineral Bronze Bronzer.  I will do a review on all of that.
