Coastal Scents Bright Eyed Concealer Review

I can not believe I never review this before, especially considering this my go to under eye concealer. Again I ask myself, HOW DID I MISS THIS? Coastal Scents is an online based company that sells cosmetics and cosmetic brushes. I've only ever ordered from them once but the experience was a pleasant one. Now Coastal Scents labels this as a brightener I call it a concealer. It comes in four shades, Ivory, Light, Medium and Dark. This will run you about $10 and I swear to you it's worth every penny. The reason this appealed to me in the first place was because of a review EmilyNoel83 did on Benefit's Erase Paste and the comment she made about the peachy tone of the concealer and how great that is for the dark purple tones of under eye circles. Well I have those extremely dark blue-purple under eye circles and have all my life, its just my genetics, and I have really had an up hill battle since I started using makeup to find a concealer that really covers them. However, as wonderful as Emily's review was on the Erase Paste I didn't want to spend $26 on a concealer at the time, money was a little tight, so I was looking for an alternative.

Coastal Scents Bright Eyed in Ivory (peachy color!)

 Now, I know it's hard to tell online but this does have a peachy undertone and it does cover the blue-purple under eye circles. I never put my makeup on without this. If I lost this concealer I would be heartbroken. So fellow ladies with deep dark blue-purple under eye circles here is your holy grail item! Be Fearless. Be Beautiful. Be You.

Coastal Scents and E.L.F. Haul!

Coastal Scents Order 

So this week I received two packages from different comapanies, Coastal Scents and E.L.F. I have never ordered anything from Coastal Scents so I wasn't sure what to expect, however I have ordered from E.L.F. more times than I care to admit. From Coastal Scents I ordered three new makeup brushes and their Bright Eyed Concealer in Ivory for $9.95. The makeup brushes that I ordered were the Classic  Blender Pointed Synthetic Brush (BR-C-S09) for $2.95, the Classic Angle Synthetic Brush (BR-C-S05) for $1.95, and the Classic Blender Crease Synthetic Brush (BR-C-S08) for $.2.49. I haven't used any of the brushes yet but in comparison to the E.L.F. brushes that I own I can feel a difference. Both brands are soft, however Costal Scents brushes are a little stiffer. I did get a chance to try the Bright Eye Concealer and my inital thoughts is that it's a pretty good concealer. I have some serious dark circles so I am constantly on the look for that holy grail concealer. I bought this because on the website it had a peachy undertone to it, and in person it still has that tone. It doesn't get rid of my dark circles completely, but I have some pretty dark circles so I'm happy with what it does cover.

E.L.F. Order

From E.L.F. I also got some new makeup  brushes. I bought the Studio Fan Brush for $3, the Studio Contouring Brush for $3, and the Essentials Blending Eye Brush for $1. My Fan Brush did arrive a little smushed so I had to deep clean it and place in a Brush Guard to dry. E.L.F. has a new line of Baked Eyeshadows. They are $3 a piece and I  bought the colors Pixie, Burnt Plum, Toasted, and Bark. I haven't used any of these yet so I can't give you an opinion on them.

E.L.F. Little Black Beauty Book: Warm Edition 

I also bought the new E.L.F. Little Black Beauty Book: Warm Edition for $5. I also have the Cool Edition but I bought it about a year ago from Ross and it's called "E.L.F. Little Black Beauty Book Volume II" but the colors are the exact same as the Cool Edition. I haven't used the Warm Edition yet but baised off my experience with the Cool Edition these colors will be like most E.L.F. products, hit or miss. Some colors are great and wonderfully pigmented while others leaving you wanting. All in all though I think this will be a good buy, especially for $5. I hope you have enjoyed this haul!
