Coastal Scents Hot Pots + SWATCHES and MAC Dupes and Review!

Hey guys! If you haven't seen my haul video for this then CLICK HERE. If your here because of the haul video then welcome! lol If you'd like you can subscribe to my blog and all that fun stuff! But lets get on with the pictures, shall we? :) If you would like to purchase these then CLICK HERE! Ok lets get started dolls!

So first off to begin on the website it says that Hot Pots are a 1-inch metal pan and that If you get one of their customizable palettes they will magnetize to them! These normally retail for .1.95 each but right now they are on sale for .99 and shipping was only about 3.00!! So go and get you some eyeshadows girls!! :) <3

Ok so the first color I picked was Peachy Copper.

Out of all the ones I ordered this was one that I could have lived with out. It is on the sheer side and it also has a lot of fall out to it. It is very similar to the other one I got called Bright Copper which I will talk about later on. Overall I would'nt recommend purchasing this one but any of the others are fabulous!

Here is a swatch of Peachy Copper: These are taken outside on an overcast day. It does have a nice amount of pigmentation but it just had a lot of fall out issues. The color is very buildable. On the website the color is described as a shimmery light copper hue and that is exactly what it is. It does state on the website that it is Semi-Opaque, which is exactly right. Also someone down below in the review section said that it is very similar to MAC's expensive pink.

The next one I choose was Bright Copper:

So compared to Peachy Copper I would definitely recommend you getting this one. They are very similar but this one is more opaque and very smooth and easy to blend. This could also be a dupe for MAC's expensive pink. But I love this one and it is seriously one of my favorites!

So here is a swatch of Bright Copper. On the website they desscribe the color as a metallic copper hue with a shimmer finish. It is beautiful and prefect for the fall time. I can't explain enough to you guys how amazing they are!! :)

Moving on to Amber Bronze:

Again I love this color it is amazing. They describe this as a rustic bronze hue with a shimmer finish and it is super opaque. I think that this is a great bronze shade for fall and again it is so smooth! I love it.

So here is Amber Bronze swatched. Again all of my swatches were taken outside on an overcast day. But this just has a great bronze sheen to it and super opaque as you can see!

Next is Aluminum Taupe:

This is another one of my all time favorites! I love this color sooooo much. On the website it is described as a sark, metallic silver hue with a shimmer finish and I somewhat agree with that but this color isn't dark. It is like a metallic silvery taupe and I am just in love with it. It is just perfect for me haha! :)

So here it is swatched and I just love the satin finish it has. They describe it on the website as Semi-Opaque which I would agree with but these is no fall out issues for this one. The color is also very buildable! It is a great basic color to have in your collection, I think anyway!

Next is Sunset Gold:

This is a very opaque creamy color! I love it and super easy to blend. This gold is more on the orange side and it is again great for the fall time.

Here is Sunset Gold swatched. On the website it i described as a golden bronze hue with a shimmer finish. Which is how I would describe this color too. Very smooth and a really great color especially if you aren't a fan of a brighter yellow like 18 Karat Gold is, which I will be talking about next. Also on a few reviews about this color on the website they said that it was like MAC's Amber Lights and I do agree with that!

Ok so here is 18 Karat Gold:

As you can see compared to Sunset Gold it is a lot brighter and more of a yellow gold. This one again, very pigmented and no fall out. It is so smooth and I just really like this color fall.

Here it is swatched. It has a great metallic finish to it and they describe this color as a glistening gold hue and they also say that it is Semi-Opaque but it is extremely Opaque, haha. :) LOVE, it will really help to brighten up your eyes too!

Next is Wine Berry:

This is absolutely beautiful! I love this color again one of my top favorites. It is great for fall and just beautiful an very opaque. LOVE IT!!! I definitely recommend getting this, if you are looking for a color like this!

Here is Wine Berry swatched it isn't super bright and it is a perfect transition color for any burgundy or plum shades you might have. On the website they describe this as a magenta hue with a shimmer finish and it is exactly that. This is again very smooth and just absolutely beautiful!!

Next one which is a tie for the top spot (LOL) called Raisin Berry:

This is absolutely stunning and I just love it. This is my definition of fall in one eyeshadow right here! LOL It is a beautiful burgundy and VERY opaque.

Here is Rasin Berry swatched! I love it and very opaque as you can see. On the website they describe it as a maroon hue with a shimmer finish! I definitely recommend this if you are looking for the perfect burgundy.

Last but not least is Raspberry Tart and this is tied with Raisin Berry for my top fave:

I can't get enough of this color it is a gorgeous plum with hints of lilac and AHH I love it LOL! :) It is very opaque as well and again no fall out issues with this one either just absolutely perfect for a plum eye!

Here it is swatched! They describe this one as a reddish-violet hue with a metallic finish. They also say that it is Semi-Opaque but I disagree. It is super opaque. I definitely recommend this one for anyone looking for a great unique plum shade!

Sample in True Love Quad:

They sent me a sample of (from left to right) Camel Taupe, Wishy Washy, Berry Grey and Steel Grey

Here is Camel Taupe swatched:

It is a great medium taupe brown and I really like it, the color is very buildable. It is described on the website as a creamy, warm brown with a satiny finish. It is very smooth and I definitely recommend this for an everyday brown!

Here is Wishy Washy swatched:

Now this one I don't really recommend, it is extremely sheer. The formula is very smooth and on the website they describe it as a muted grey hue in a matte finish. They also state that it is Semi-Opaque but I found that the color wasn't very buildable.

Next is Steel Grey which is my favorite:

I love this color so much it is very Opaque and the formula is perfect, very smooth and blendable. On the website it is described as a deep metallic grey with a shimmer finish. I LOVE it and I am definitely getting the full size.

Finally we have Berry Grey:

This is Berry Grey swatched. It is nice and opaque but a bit sheer, the color is very buildable and I really like it. It is described on the website as a soft shimmery black with a subtle hint of burundy and brown undertones. I really like this and also recommend this as well. It is a great everyday black!

Drugstore Concealer Review! *Video Coming Soon*

Hey guys, so I haven't posted on here in forever! So I wanted to get back to blogging before I get super busy again, I am bringing you a drugstore concealer review. Now I did not take these pictures, I just don't have the products except for a couple so I needed to look them up, sorry about that. But thank you all for you support it means so much to me. I love you guys and have a blessed day, now on with the review!

Okay so the first product I wanted to talk about is Garnier Nutrisse Anti-Dark Circle Roller:

This retails anywhere from 10.99 to 13.49. This can be found at any drugstore or Target as well! I love this product a lot! It covers up my dark circles really well and this is what I would call medium coverage, which is great and the best I have tried in the drugstore. Now the only con that I have found with this is that there is only 2 shades, a sheer tint (which is the one I use) and there is one for medium/deep skin as well. So it won't suit everyone unfortunately. This has a caffeine gel which wakes you up in the morning and the gel absorbs into the skin quicker. It blends really well and a plus is the roller ball applicator. The roller ball is supposed to help energize and stimulate micro circulation. Also there is lemon essence in the formula to help brighten. Overall I really recommend this and I love this product a lot. As a side note I also use this on any blemishes or red ares I might have and it covers them really well! Give this product a try!

Next I want to talk about the L'oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer:

This comes in 6 different shades and retails anywhere from 7.99 to 8.99. You can pick this up at any local drugstore and places like Target. Now for me I dislike this product a lot. I don't have super smooth skin and I do have pores they aren't super noticeable but I have somewhat noticeable pores, lets just say my skin is not perfect. This emphasizes my pores, it looks really cakey, it has a funky smell to it and this product is not for me. Yes it blends easily only if your skin is smooth. This would crease in any dry areas and fine lines. So I don't recommend this if you have dry skin. The other thing I find weird is that they emphasize a lot on the tip of the product, which is obviously going to die down when you use it for awhile. It won't always have that point like when you first buy it. But they say that the tip is for more precise areas and the side is for a larger canvas. I just overall don't recommend this to anyone with dry skin and also it feels heavy on the skin and you definitely can tell it has a silicone type feeling to it. Plus all of the shades were on the yellow side and I just couldn't find the right shade after many trial and errors. Not a fan of this!

L'oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Concealer:

So this product is AMAZING! This retails anywhere from 7.99 to 10.00. Also can be found at any local drugstores as well as places like Target. This is a liquid formula and it has a brush applicator. This comes in 6 different shades and it blends perfectly! Plus this product goes a long way, when you see at the store you might think that it is small and that you are paying a lot for nothing when actually a little of this goes a long way. Although this did last me about a month maybe a month in a half a repurchased it over and over until I told myself I needed to try new things LOL. But it doesn't crease or look cakey. It literally looks airbrushed and it matches my skin perfectly. Words cannot tell you how much I LOVE this product. If you are in need of a new concealer try this!!

Wet'n'Wild Coverall Concealer Stick:

So the reason I picked this up was because MakeupbyTiffanyD said that for the price it was really good. So I was like what the heck I will give it a try. I did and I HATE it. This is very sticky and it is so hard to blend. It only comes in 3 shades and it retails for 1.99. I mean I didn't expect it to be phenomenal but I thought it would at least be decent. I am not too upset because I mean it was only 2 bucks. But I don't like it at all and it has all the same problems like the crayon concealer did. The lightest shade is too pink for me, it won't cover up any redness and it really tugs at my skin. Now I have drier skin on some ares but an oilier T-Zone but I just don't care for this at all.

L'oreal Paris True Match Naturale Mineral Concealer:

This product is okay but for the price I really don't like it at all. This retails anywhere from 9.99 to 10.48 and is actually becoming harder to find. At my Target I can still find it and also at Walgreens. This has very light coverage and comes in 5 shades. This is from their mineral line as you can tell by the picture but in my opinion it's not worth 10 bucks! This is not buildable at all and the packaging is very bulky. I just feel like it won't cover really any redness and if it does, you can still see the slightest bit of pink to the area. Not a huge fan because of the price and packaging.
