Never Pay Too Much For Amazing Eyeshadows EVER AGAIN

I don't know how much I can talk about a company but lord o lordy I love Coastal Scents. I just made my third order of 4 eyeshadows (Hot Pots), a brush guard pack, some brushes, emptie magnetic palettes. Everything for 34 dollars! Everything is 40% off right now so I was very tempted to just go Costal Scents crazy. Their eyeshadows are amazing, so butter smooth, pigmented and so affordable 1.95 per shadow. Each Shadow comes in a magnetized pan (works for Z palettes). They have the largest color selection I have ever seen. Neutrals, brights, mattes, satins, and shimmers. They also sell large value palettes I have the 88 Neutral Palette which is perfect for jobs and when I feel like having tons of amazing options. I purchased the eye-primer and no disappointments their. The only product that didn't meet my expectations was their GO palette Cairo. The shadows didn't have the same formulation has the hot pots in my option they were a little chalky. That said the color range is great with a whole bottom row of matte colors. 12 shadows for 9 dollars is a good deal. I just want to try everything, and probably could without breaking the bank because everything is so affordable. Also the shipping is great nothing has every come damaged or tampered with. However my favorite thing about the company is that they are CRUELTY FREE.

 So with all that in mind here is my 2014 Costal Scents wish list!

Brushes 

1. Classic Stippling Synthetic
2. Classic Round Duo Fiber  Synthetic
3. Pro Blending Fluff

Shadows (Hot Pots)

1. Frosty Taupe
2. Root Beer
3. Elven Gold
4. Olivewood
5. Light Plum
6. Wild Raisin 

Liner: Divine Gel Liner

1. Mocha
2. Raven 
3. Sienna

Lastly the Bright Eyed Eye Brightener in Ivory. 

So if my fairy god mother could send these things to me that would be much appreciated. Thank you!

NEW WET N WILD

OMG SO EXCITED THAT I MUST USE ALL CAPS

I don't know why but when a drugstore brand comes out with new products I just get so excited. The idea of potentially amazing affordable products is my drug of choice. Do you guys get excited when you hear about new drugstore collections, or it is just me being crazy.  What are you most excited about? Personally I am looking forward to  the 5 pan eyeshadow palette with the brown tones. Unfortunately my drugstores never get new products until months after they come out so I might have to wait awhile.

Pop Beauty Rouge Mix Lip & Cheek Portfolio *First Impression*

Hello beauty lovers so I have received some makeup gifts! I am going to do a Hanukkah haul but I hough I would first impressions post before I do the haul. 

Pop beauty is a "high end" drug store brand that I have only seen in Duane Reads. But it is sold on Haute Look all the time.

Costal Scents Go Palette Cairo

I ordered a bunch of stuff from coastal scents and the Go Palette which I assume is made for on the go, or travel caught my eye. It is a hard sturdy plastic palette with 12 eyeshadows. The colors are mostly warm toned with a few cool. Right up front I am going to say that I am not a huge fan of this palette and was a let down because it wasn't near the pigmentation of the Hot Pots.

Recommendations!

So it is that time for another recommendations  where I recommend food, makeup, iphone apps, etc. If you didn't catch last weeks post then click the like right here.

Food/Snacks

• Kashi Soft Baked Almond Squares
• these little pastry bars are so delicious. They are great in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea and make great deserts after dinner.

• Chobani Greek Yogurt
• Some of my favorite flavors are the raspberry with chocolate flakes, peach, black berry, and coconut. I love to eat them for breakfast or for an afternoon snack. Very tart though so it you want something sweet I wouldn't go for greek yogurt (its lower calories though).

Life Tuesday!

So it is Tuesday and that means I am going to share my life with all of you. If you don't know me then. . . . HI my name is Emma Rosman I am a teenager in NYC, a senior in high school and this is my makeup cosmetics stuff blog. I mostly have been just posting makeup related posts but I think that I want to start making more life updates, get to know me posts. I hope that ya'll like this.

Recommendation Monday!

So this is part of a new series that I am calling Recommendation Monday. Where I make recommendations on books, movies, makeup, youtubers, snacks, apps etc. Comment down below if you have any recommendations that you would like to share.

Media.

1. Mary and Max
• So this week I have been loving me some netflix.  I watched some really good movies in the past couple of days. My favorite was a great claymation movie called Mary and Max. It was really well done and beautiful. The art was amazing I couldn't believe the attention to detail was put into this movie. It's instant go watch it. 
2. Tiny Tower (app)
• This is a really cute game, where you create an apartment building. It reminds me of a less sophisticated zoo tycoon. It is 8-bit animation and just so adorable. It you like games where it takes no skill or strategy then this is the game for you. 
3. Bloglovin (app/website) 
• Bloglovin a website where you can have a dashboard of all your favorite blogs. It makes it really easy to stay up to date because everything is all in one place. They have an app for the iphone which I'm always on (second to tumblr). 
4. 8tracks (app/website) 
1. 8tracks is a free music player where you can type in a mood or a genre of music and a playlists will pop up for your listening pleasure. I think this is a great app if you have wifi and you are sick of your own itunes library. It's a perfect mix of pandora and spotify.

Products

1. Revlon Matte Blams 
• I have been wearing them for a few weeks and I am in love with them. So smooth and amazing color. I have two colors a rose and a purple. 
2. Cerave Hydrating Cleanser 
• This is my all time favorite cleanser it so gentle and never makes my skin feel tight and dry. It doesn't lather it's just a clear cream and removes makeup and dirt. You can get it at the drugstore, the best part t it is not overpriced like some drugstore cleansers. It is a great winter cleanser, I just ran out a week and ago and repurchased a new bottle. I forgot how much I loved it until I my skin started to have dry patches because of the weather. Side-note it also works as a good brusher cleanser. 
3. 12 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil in Continuous Almond 
• I have been using this as a base under my eyeshadows so they have something to stick to and it works pretty well. It doesn't prevent creasing (wear a primer under) but it does give a good base and makes the colors on top of it pop. 

Food 

1. Nature Valley Granola Thins Crispy Squares Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter 
• These little squares are my new snack obsession. They are soooooo good. I love dark chocolate and peanut-butter it is my favorite food combination. These are great breakfast food or mid meal snack because they are only 80 calories. I literally almost ate the entire box in one sitting but, I wouldn't recommend that. 
2. Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice Tea
• This is one of the rare teas that tastes as good as it smells. It is a blend of chai spices with cocoa powder. I am obsessed. It is a bitter tea so I like to put sugar (stevia) in it and milk. I recently have been paring it with hazelnut creamer and it is AMAZING. 

I hope that this blog post was interesting. Again put your own recommendation in the comments and tell me whether you would like to see another of these next monday.

Get Bronzed With Coastal Scents Hot Pots

NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette

I have always lusted over NARS products especially their blushes. They are known for being so pigmented, smooth and just overall amazing. I love NARS but I'm not a huge fan of their prices, they are one of the most expensive high end brands (but not as bad as Dior). Around the holiday times NARS usually comes out with pallets that have multiple products for a great price (considering the individual price of their products). So I wanted blushes, and guess what NARS came out with an amazing blush palette with their two best sellers Orgasim (blush) and Laguna (bronzer).

Sweater Weather Tag

So this tag has gone around Youtube and the blog sphere and basically everyone and their mother is doin it. So I though well I MUST DO IT. So here is my versions of the Sweater Weather Tag

1. Favorite Candle Scent?

• I am not a candle user. I know that every beauty guru is obsessed with candles but I'm just not a fan. How ever I do have a cinnamon broom in my bed room and it is amazing. I love spicy smells and the broom fills my whole room with the soft smell of cinnamon. You get cinnamon brooms at crafts stores but I got mine from Trader Joe's

2. Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate? 

• Coffee all the way. I am a two cup of day kind of girl and I drink even more during the winter and fall. I love lattes, PUMPKIN SPICE from Starbucks is awesome. But basically a classic cup of joe is good for me. I love walking home and having the coffee in the my hand. It is a hand warmer and it tastes so good. 

3. Do you switch up your makeup routine for the season?

• I don't change up my makeup but I do change my skincare. I have dry to combination skin and in the winter my skin is straight up parched. I like to use more moisturizing face washes, lotions and I cleans with oils and natural toners. because my skin is dry I don't like to use long wearing foundations as much because I find that they cling to dry patches. I love the Cover Girl Nature Luxe foundation for the winter. 

4. Favorite Thanksgiving Food?

• MASH POTATOES with tons of gravy enough said. 

5. Hats of Scarves?

• I am a hat girl all the way. I have big bushy hair and it is great to shove it under at hat and just forget about it. I love beanies and I am currently on the hunt for the perfect slouchy black beans. So if you have any suggestions post them in the comments. 

6. Most Worn Sweater

• My cat sweater from forever 21. So cozy, soft and cute. It is black and white basically goes with everything. It is a little bit longer than your average sweater and I love that it covers my behind when I wear leggings. It is baggy and just so cute I would be lost without it. 

7. Must have nail polish?

• I like Essie's Liquorish but, I really haven't been wearing nail polish lately. I do a lot of ceramics and the clay ruins your manicure instantly. It just isn't worth it any more. However I that said last year I loved OPI's Skull and Gloss Bones from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection. It was a light gray and was so pretty for the winter. 

8. Foot Ball Games or Jumping into a pile of leaves? 

• Neither, I don't like this question. Sorry 

9. Skinny Jeans of Leggings? 

• Leggings, leggings, leggings. So comfy and I love the thick ones from Hue that I bought in Italy they are so amazing. 

10. Boots or Uggs? 

• Boots. I live my in calf engineer Frye boots. I have two pairs one black, and the other a burnt maroon. I love throwing on a pair of boots with high socks, leggings and a sweater. Comfy and so cute. 

11. What is your #1 favorite thing about Fall?

•  I love the clothes. I love wearing layers, hats, sweater and light jackets. I love that I can start drinking hot drinks outside and snuggle under blankets watching movies. 

12.Do you have a song that gets you in the Fall mood or just a song you're loving at the moment?

• I looked at my most played song and right now that would be Tennis Court By Lorde. Basically that is the only album that I have been listening to. I also have been loving Counting Stars by One Republic. 

13. What is the Fall weather like where you currently live?

• New York weather has been pretty crazy. Some days are really cold but recently the weather has been pretty mild. Its not really fall any more (it's December) but it usually is very cold. Windy, rainy and bitter. 

Overall I love the coldish weather, not cold. But, coldish not freezing.
