Coastal Scents

a week ago i ordered a few brushes from Coastal Scents. i actually wanted to place orders with Crown Brush, but shipping alone for 4 pencil brush is USD31 !so what i got from Coastal Scents were the Divine Large Eyeshadow Brush, Sable Contour Brush and Kabuki in a box. i've ordered from them a few times and shipping has always been pretty reasonable. 10 days from the day they shipped out the order till it reaches the mailbox. and so far they have always shipped out the very next day i've placed my orders.

i realised that their sable brushes are not scratchy on the skin whereas their goat hair brushes will. the kabuki brush is tiny bit scratchy, but taking the fact that i only paid about USD6, it's negligible [ LOL ].

they sell brush guard too. i got mine from coastal scents instead of the original brush guard website as shipping works out better this way.

i've tried quite a few of their micas and pigments too and i feel that their interfine, inter sparks, mirage, basically the inner corner or highlight shades works well. i especially love the Paradise Gold Fortune ( pretty similar to Too Faced eyeshadow in George & Weezie, just slighty warmer ) as it a very nice buttery colour, great for inner corner.
but their blues have big big problem as it almost doesnt apply at all. the rest of their shade are pretty okay, very shimmery.

as for their glitter powder, i only have eight of them out of 19. they are really sparkly and in comparison with the glitters that we can get in Singapore, Coastal Scents have a better range of colours IMO.

so if you are looking for cheap yet non-scratchy brushes, try their sable hair ones. if you're looking for highlight micas, they have really cheap ones with insane amount for sample size. and brush guard is definately a plus if u use blending brush as Asians have smaller eyes, therefore most blending brushes are so fluffy that it's actually easier to work with if you use the brush guard.
