No Twitter account? Not a problem, I've linked my Twitter Updates at the top right hand corner of my blog, so if you feel like you wanna stalk me and see what I'm doing? Just come back here and check out the section.
Well, before i babble on and on about random things, let us start on the review.
Before i start on anything, i would like to say that i am neither endorsing this nor am i getting paid to do this advertorial. Everyone knows that i will share whatever products or shops that i love as i believe that if it benefits me, it will benefits some of you out there, if not all.
As everyone knows, i am trying to build up on my makeup collections. As much as i do love monster trucks and dirt bikes, i do love dressing up too.
So i was contemplating buying Coastal Scents (CS) products, cause it's much cheaper than all the other well-known, high end products like MAC. As i was surfing this CS website, Sikin (a friend of mine) coincidentally posted a link on Facebook on MyClassyCloset (MCC) website.
Being a curious feline that i am, i decided to check it out, and i instantly fall in love with the products.
So closed CS website and decided to concentrate on MCC website instead. In all honesty, i didn't buy it straightaway cause i was looking for a better palette deal but i can safely say that she sells her palette pretty cheap. Cheaper than the CS palettes + shipping.
If memory serves me right, the owner of the MCC website did say she got it from the same factory that make the CS palette, so you know you're getting good stuff.
The best part? They DO NOT test on animals! And all of you know how i feel about animal cruelty and abuse.
So, let us see what products i got from MCC. I have been using it for the past month, so this review is based on MY experience.
96 Colours Eyeshadow Palette
88 Marble Eyeshadow Palette
28 Neutral Eyeshadow Palette
10 Professional Blusher Palette
Well what's my verdict?
The products are very well pigmented. You don't need to vigorously stick your eyeshadow/blusher brush in the powder to pick up the colour. What i usually do is just pat a few times on my brush and it's good to go. It's THAT pigmented.
But the products are made from really fine powder so expect a little fall out on your cheeks, but it's not alot for it to be noticeable. I'm just very critical to finer details. And make sure you pat the colour on instead of swiping it cause it's REALLY easy to blend.
As they are made from really fine powder, they crack easily if you drop them but if you're like me, and you handle your things really well, it'll be fine.
The products have an expiration date of 3-4 years so, you don't have to worry about storing it for a long time. The plus side of this is that, it's manufactured within 1-2 months prior to your order so, once again, it's very fresh.
It's really safe for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin and using the products doesn't make me break out in any way. The eyeshadows stays on your eyelids the whole day. The blushers are awesome. It comes in different shades for contouring, for the apples of your cheeks, and also for highlighting. The contouring blushers are matte so you don't have to worry about being too bronze and shiny in the sun.
I used the products for Hari Raya and you all know how hot Singapore can get, but the make up stays on my face the whole day. It's amazing, i can't even fathom the awesomeness of the products. Haha, hey it's not Arynne, if they're no drama.
Just a heads up though, if you have oily lids/face, you might want to prime your lids/face first.
They go off so easily with make up remover/cleansing oil. So you don't have to worry about little particles sticking onto your eyelids after you cleanse your face.
Well let's move on to the brushes. I bought the synthetic brush set called the Purple Valentine. It's made from high quality nylon, so all you vegans out there who are against animal hair brushes might want to try this out.
Purple Valentine 16pc Brush set
Like i said, it's synthetic so the eyeshadows doesn't adhere to the brushes as great as animal hair brushes but it still works well. It's super soft, comparable softness to The Body Shop brushes (and you all know how much i ADORE their brushes).
If you are a little fussy about how much products the eyeshadow can pick up, you could use the synthetic brushes for your cream/mousse products. Or you could pat it in a little water or your fix-plus. That's what i usually do. But other than that, i really like the brushes.
You can check out another customer's review (Fara) on the same brush set, here.
So in conclusion, i do RECOMMEND this website. It's affordable, it's high-quality and the owner of the website is VERY friendly and VERY helpful. The service is to die for, that's why i keep coming back.
Girls, if you are like me, just starting with the make up hobby, or if you're a freelancer, i would definitely tell you to buy those products. Even guys, if you're looking to buy your girlfriends something they will love.
Hey Christmas is coming, so it would make a really nice gift, for those who are into collecting makeup. And she does offer monthly promotions so keep checking that site out.
I have put a link of the website at my sidebar under "Internet Treasure" so if you're really interested in purchasing some of the items I've mentioned above (or other awesome items that are on the site), you could go to the link and/or email her at myclassycloset@hotmail.com.
P/S: Pictures of products are taken from the website itself, cause I'm just too broke to buy myself a decent camera. Haha
