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!


Tell me in the comments what your favorite shade was!! :) Thank you so much for your support and taking some time out of your day to read this!! :)

Review for Sicklacquers!

Hey guys. So I have a really fun review for you today! I uploaded a video HERE with live swatches! Check it out and subscribe to my channel if you aren't already! Love you guys so much, you are all amazing!

Ok so lets go ahead and get started with the review.

Peggie was kind enough to send me two polishes! I absolutely LOVE them and they are very unique. Seriously one of a kind polishes. They are 3-Free and also Indie Polishes, which I have never had Indie Polishes before and so far I LOVE them.

 The first one she sent me is called Green Goblin. It is a sheer green gel based polish. This is supposed to  be sheer and I love it this way.

As you can see it has different hexagonal glitters throughout the polish. There are many different colors and sizes which is really cool!

The next one she sent me is:

 Berries and Cream which I love this and I am currently rocking this on my nails right now! Check it out on my INSTAGRAM!

This is based on a very light lilac color, with again various shapes and sizes of hexagonal glitters. There are pink and purple glitters throughout this polish.

Here are the colors swatched:

These colors are swatched on a clear acrylic nail, two coats and without a top coat. From left to right: Green Goblin is swatched with a Kelly Green base, Green Goblin swatched by itself and Berries and Cream swatched by itself!

Here is the color I used as the Kelly Green Base:

 I used Revlon's Polish in Posh which is a bright Kelly Green which is a cream finish.

These polishes retail for 7.00 each for 15ML or 3.50 each for 5ML

That is all for my review! If you would like to purchase these for yourself, check out Peggie's links down below! Thanks so much for reading! Love ya all!! <3

Review for Performance Colors!!!

Hello everyone! So I filmed a review on these products that will be up tomorrow and I will update this post so you can go check out the video! If you'd like though I will be doing a giveaway for my 100 subscribers and you can SUBSCRIBE if you'd like by CLICKING HERE!! Thank you so much and without further a due here is the review!

CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW VIDEO

First off I wanted to let everyone know that I contacted Tiffany from Performance Colors and she decided to send me some samples to review for you guys. So thank you so much Tiffany!! All of her links will be linked at the end of this post!! :) Enjoy


So the first product I wanted to talk about is the Eyeliner Pencil by Performance Colors

The color that she sent me is in Electric Blueberry. I really love this eyeliner, it claims that it goes on soft and dries to smudge-proof, fade-proof and all day wear. This I have also found is water proof! I applied this to my lower lash line and I was tearing up that day from laughing so much and it didn't move! It stays in place and I love that. She has a lot of more colors available on her shop which will be linked at the bottom of this post!

Here is the color swatched it isn't a bright blue but more like a navy which I really like!! It goes on very smooth and I really like it a lot! You can get this on her shop (again link is at the bottom) and it retails for 6.50 and you get 1.6 grams of product!

The next product I wanted to tell you guys about that I was very shocked to receive and that is the Shadow Magnet. This is an eyeshadow primer! This is described as sheer primer for under shadows, won't smudge or budge. This is completely true and it is so light weight. Also let me just mention how sweet it smells! YUM

 This is so creamy and soft and smooth I love it and it as literally replaced my Urban Decay Primer Potion!

These are just sample sizes that she sent. The full size is 2.8 ml and it only costs 5.00 and for me im saving fifteen bucks because I used to purchase the Primer Potion.

Next is the Lip Repair:

This says that it won't separate with seasons changes and you can use this alone or under a lipstick. I really like this, it is extremely light weight I can't feel it on my lips at all but it just makes my lips sooooo smooth!

 Again this is just a sample size, for the full size you get 5 ml. It retails for 5.00, so it is very affordable! I really do enjoy this.

Next are the the Shimmer Sticks:
These are just cream eyeshadows and the texture of this are comparable to Maybelline Color Tattoos. I absolutely love these! I was thinking about doing a tutorial with these so please let me know in the comments if you would be interested!

Directions: For awesome sparkle and shimmer looks apply to upper lids. They are beautiful and shimmering!! They don't crease either and these are also waterproof!

She has many other colors on her shop but these are the 3 she sent me. Oilslick, Plum Fairies and Babycakes. My favorites are Babycakes and Oilslick.

Swatches from left to right: Oilslick - which is a really pretty deep teal blue (reminds me of a peacock!) Babycakes is in the middle and it is a light pink, rose gold shade with hints of shimmer, this a dupe for Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. The final one is Plum Fairies - which is a deep plum shade.
These retail for 5.00 and you get 2.8 ml.

Restorative Lip Color:
I was so excited to try these and I can't wait to repurchase these!!! The description for these are that they feel like a balm but look like a lipstick and that is exactly the truth!

The 3 colors she sent me are Bubble Gum - a light but bright pink. Cool Pink - which is a purple based pink and Coral Pink - which is a bright coral pink more on the peach side.

Swatches from left to right: Cool Pink,Coral Pink and Bubble Gum. These are so pigmented! I love them and these are totally my colors!! ;) These retail for 5.00 and you get 5 ml of product.

Matte Cream Lipsticks:
-Hydrating Matte Cream Formula, feels great on your lips, dewey movie star look and super saturated color. Again the claims are completely true. If you were to use like a matte finish by MAC they dry out your lips sooo bad but these don't at all!!! They are very very hydrating.

I officialy LOVE matte lipsticks now, even though the only one I ever wore before was MAC Candy Yum Yum.

The colors she sent me are Buff, Petal and Juicy.

Swatches from left to right: Petal which is a really pretty light pink. Buff - which is a pretty natural color and the last one Juicy - which is a pretty coral color. They are very pigmented and very build-able.


So that is it for my review and swatches. I will be having a MAC Dupes video coming up within a couple of days! It will feature these lipsticks and they are 15.00 cheaper, I think I would opt for these, plus she has even more beautiful colors on her shop.

Everyday Makeup Routine

Hey guys so if you haven't already I did a Foundation Routine which I will link HERE! Also if you want to see my everyday makeup routine it will be linked right HERE. Ok so for all of the products I used it will be down below with swatches and prices! So please enjoy!

This is all the stuff that I have been using on my face for about a month now.  I really do like all of these products.

For bronzing my face I use the ELF Golden Bronzer

This is really a good bronzer for just all over the face. I really like to use this to add color to my face. You can get this at Target or eyeslipsface.com for $3.00. I really recommend this product for anyone looking for an affordable bronzer!

For contouring I use the Too Faced Chocolate Soliel Bronzer in Medium Deep

Also here I have swatched the Too Faced Chocolate Soliel Bronzer that is matte and also the Papa don't Peach blush, which is also what I wear everyday. The bronzer retails for $30.00 and the blush retails for $2300. You can find both of these at Ulta or Sephora.

For highlighting my face I love using my Victoria Secrets All or Nothing

This highlighter is so pretty. It is a pretty champagne pink and I am in love with it, this retails for 14.00 but it was limited edition and you can no longer get this in the store unfortunately! But I am still on the hunt for a DUPE!

Okay so the nest thing I will move onto is my eyebrows, for that I use Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow powder in Medium Ash.

I always use the light colored shade to fill in my eyebrows. I love this product a lot this retails for 23.00, I like it but not for the price, so I am looking for something cheaper. It really does work but I wish it was cheaper!

Then I set my eyebrows with ELF clear lash and brow gel

This retails for a dollar at Target or eyeslipsface.com and I really really like it a lot.

For eyeshadow I have been loving this quad by Maybelline Eyestudio in Copper Chic.

It is so beautiful and shimmery. It is a beautiful natural look and I love it! This retails for 7.94 and you can get this at any local drugstore. I again got mine at Target.

To tightline my eyes I use Milani True Black eyeliner pencil and for my water line I use NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk to highlight my brow bone I use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Eye Lights Matte in Camille.

On the left is a really pretty light pink almost like my skintone and on the right is Milk. The Eye lights retails for 21.00 and the Milk retails for 4.50. You can get either of those at Ulta.

For lipliner I used NYX slim lip pencil in Dolly Pink

 Also for some reason I swatched my Milani eyeliner pencil in True Black with this lip liner. The eye liner retails for 4.49 and you can get it at Target and CVS. The lip liner retails for 3.50. I really love both of these and they are both very creamy and they have a lot of pigmentation.

For mascara I use Bare Minerals Curl and Lengthen.

This mascara retails for 18.00 and I don't really think it is worth the money. It works but it dries my lashes. So I am not loving this! But it works. You can get this at Ulta or Sephora.

For my lips I moisturize them with Savex Tropical Lip Balm for Dry chapped lips.

So I picked this up when I was in Hawaii and I LOVE this but I can't find it anywhere. But I googled and I found it on amazon in a pack of like 20 for around 12.00 lol. I'm considering getting that! 

Now as for the lipstick I use is MAC's Candy Yum Yum

I love this so much. It dries matte and it is just an amazing pink! It retails for 15.00 and of course you can get anywhere that sells MAC!

As for my tools:

From left to right: 

For my bronzer I use the Bare minerals Full Flawless Face which retails for 28.00

To contour I use the sculpting brush by Sonia Kashuk that retails for 12.00 and can be found at Target.

To apply my highlighter and blush I use a stippling brush by Fl!rt Cosmetics.

To blend my eyeshadow I use a tapered blending brush by Sonia Kashuk.

To blend out my concealer I use another tapered blending brush by Fl!rt Cosmetics.

To create my outer corner I use a pencil brush by Coastal Scents.

To apply my eyeshadow base I use an ELF eyeshadow brush.

To apply my brow powder I use the Anastasia brush.

Finally I use my ELF eyelash curler! 

That concludes my blog post I hope you enjoyed! Please check out my videos and SUBSCRIBE.

Thanks,
