My shipment arrived today; I wish I could go home and open it!!! I even texted my landlord and told him I'm expecting it.
I'm actually a little nervous about the state of the packages. I hope none of the shadows are broken.
*crosses fingers*
I CAN say that, shipping was amazingly fast for me. I placed my order on a Thursday 12/18. They originally said 7 business days for delivery but it quickly changed to 1 day, and now they're already here

I got my palettes today! You guys have created a monster...I want ALL of them now. I haven't actually worn anything on my face yet(just played with swatches), but some of the colors in the neutral palette are GORGEOUS. I really like the dark brown-cranberryish color. I'm so excited about the contour/blush palette as well.
I got a free white eyeshadow in my package.
ETA: The shipping was also ridiculously fast.

I got the neutral palette from CS for Christmas and I must say, I LOVE IT! Some of the shades are similar, but there are some that are totally unique. I wore a couple of the shades tonight, just playing around and I used Painterly paint pot as base. The three shades I used went on very smoothly, applied evenly and were easy to blend. This is a must have palette for all skin tones!

I bought this palette like...months ago...and I'm ashamed to say that I STILL haven't really used it :/
I'll have to start trying to work with it.

I'm not Tish, but I have been using the CS silica powder for several days now and wholeheartedly recommend it. Gorgeous.
Can't miss for $4, IMO.

Ok so I really took the time to use the neutral palette this morning to do a cut crease look and I must say, I'm really loving it. I watched a really helpful video on YouTube from a girl who showed the CS shades and compared them to MAC shades, dupes. I didn't agree with all of the shades, because she said she was going from the colors she had in her collection.
I used one of the shades that is a dead ringer for Saddle and it looked awesome. I highly recommend this palette!

I saw that video, too! It's the one that pushed me over the edge to buy it.
I used the silica powder yesterday, and WOW! I love it. It made my skin shineless and really smooth. I've never used the MUFE HD powder so I can't compare it--but I LOOOOVE the Coastal Scents kind.

I am so in love with the Coastal Scents Micas. The colors are so gorgeous and the color payoff is awesome, not to mention the sheer amount of product in the 1 oz. size - - wow.
Aruban Coral Pearl Mica has become my everyday eyeshadow - it is the perfect shimmery golden peachy color. And Blackstar Green mica gives the most gorgeous smokey eye. Sage Blue mica is a gorgeous blue/green duochrome. I think I mentioned in a previous post how much I love Desert Plum - it also has a beautiful purple/pink/wine colored duochome - I just cannot get enough of these things.
I am curious to try the MUFE HD Powder dupe. I use the MUFE daily, so if this is truly the same thing, my wallet and I will really be happy. I also want to try the eye poxy shadow primer, but it is perpetually out of stock.
I just placed an order for more micas (antique red and antique gold) and the 56 palette.

Part of me is so freakin skeptical and I can't help it. It seems the prices are just too good to be true. I absolutely loooove the silk finish mineral foundation. The shade is perfect for my skin tone, the coverage is awesome, and instead of powdery it's kinda creamy. Weird. But I'm in love with it. No breakouts from it, but I've only used it twice since I haven't been going out and have no reason to make myself up. I really hope I keep loving this stuff once I order the full sized jar. It's exactly what I've been looking for.
And now I wanna try the micas, too!

Ooooh I have a feeling that I will have to try the mineral makeup next.
I totally know what you mean about being skeptical--I was soooo expecting those cheap chalky dollar store eyeshadows, but I was blown away by the quality.
Has anyone tried the 26 Shadow Blush Combo palette? The ones with all the gorgeous plums?

Compared to other online retailers that sell the same sort of thing, CS really has them beat. They're not the most glamorous, but I have been really happy.
I just purchased some Beauty from the Earth mineral eye shadows things and for $7.00 you get such a teeny tiny amount of product (1 gram) - and a couple of them are exact dupes for the CS micas- Nebula is Blackstar Green and Dawn is Desert Plum. Even CS sample micas, which are $1.00, almost fill an empty 10 gram sifter jar.

Haha I'm so cheap, I went on a sample shopping spree on CS last night!! I got like 5 or 6 mica samples, and since I don't want to shell out $21.95 quite yet for a full jar of foundation, I just snagged 3 samples of my shade for $2 a piece!! The one tiny jar I've got seems to be lasting a lot longer than I thought it would.
And I'm not lying about that foundation, I actually wore it in daylight today and my skin hasn't looked so perfect in a long time. Just a tiny dab of the foundation makes any redness completely invisible, and that is a freakin miracle!!! I have to stop talking so nicely about this stuff, or I'll jinx it.
