Coastal Scents Mica Powders

Here are swatches of the micas i recently purchase off of Coastal Scents.com
-GREAT value
-1 oz - 28.35 gram Jar
-depending on the color a 1 oz. jar is $3-$5 !!!
-great payoff, they are pigments/pure micas, so it's expected
-a 1 oz. is ALOT of product, i can say i will never finish 1 jar by myself.
-there is also an amazing range of colors

**the colors i purchased are able to be used on your face, eyes, lips and nails**
**NOT ALL can be used on face, eyes and lips**
(the site will list if it is safe or not, please read the description when choosing colors)

Misterioso Bronze, 24 Karat Gold, Aruban Coral Pearl

Misterioso Bronze: amazing medium brown, NO chunky glitter, but has nice fine specks of gold to give a great sheen. AWESOME as an eyeshadow. I WOULD NOT use it as a bronzer, WAY too much of a sheen.

24 Karat Gold: pure gold color, NO chunky glitters, GREAT highlight color for women of dark skin, or as an eyeshadow or even a bit of this dabbed on the center of your lips..esp. if its red lipstick you're wearing :)

Aurban Coral Pearl: i picked this up hoping to use it as a blush, its a beautiful light coral color, however it has ALOT of sheen to it, i wouldn't use it alone as a blush color, it can be pretty for layering on the cheek , however i would use this sparingly.

Paradise Gold Fortune, Pearl White, Ultra Shimmer
- all of these look similar but as you can see in the swatches they ARE different.

Paradise Gold Fortune: NO chunky glitters, white powder with a gold sheen, this is one of my FAVS for a cheek highlight, LOVE THIS

Pearl White: again, this has fine shimmers to give off a great sheen, beautiful on the center of your lips, even a cheek highlight

Ultra Shimmer: this DOES have chunky glitters, this basically look like diamonds that were finely milled, i havent figured out a perfect way to use this, if you all have any ideas on how i should use this SUPER sparkly mica LET ME KNOW!




- i highly recommend these micas, i will DEF. purchase more in the future, i want to try to SUPER bright colors also, let me know of colors you all recommend :)

i hope this helped you all in some way if you were thinking of purchasing :)
