Wet and Wild Sweet as Candy

While on an adventure to Doller General, I picked up Wet and Wild's eyeshadow trio in Sweet as Candy and fell in love with this palette. The colors are so pigmented, as well as gorgeous! You really do get an amazing color pay off with these eyeshadows. The white is extremely pigmented and a tad bit chalky but it does make an great inner corner highlight. I recently filmed a tutorial with this palette and the picture of that will be at the bottom of this post. I think this look could be great for going out, parties or formal events, but could also be played down to be a more casual look. Thanks for reading!

Review: Coastal Scents Baby Buki Brush

So I've decided I want to blog along side my youtube channel that way I can review products that really don't warrent a video, either because the review would be very short or the its a negative review. So we're gonna try this.
If you watch my channel then you might know that recently I ordered from Coastal Scents. They've been having a promotion that with any $5 order, you recieve a free Baby Buki brush. When I saw that I thought "Hey cool, I'd love to be able to try out a brush for free." I've heard several times that Coastal Scents' brushes have a chemical smell to them, but I didn't pick up on one with the kabuki. The brush itself is cute, but I have a weakness for minature things.  Using the brush for application purposes is a different matter.  The brush does well on picking up product, in my case I use Rimmel Londons Stay Matte Powder, but the bristles are extremely rough and they scratch the skin.  If I needed a kabuki brush and couldn't find anything else, I'd reach for this but if I had the option I'd pass on it. Thanks for reading! Tune in next time!
