I have just purchased some new make up sets, an NYX 96 lip pallette, Fräulein3°8 88 Color Eyeshadow Palette + 21 Brushes Kit ?(which is very similar to the coastal scents 88 pallete, the colours are pretty much the same) and a technic hide it concealer pallete. I bought these online, because i wanted to try and find some new make up looks and good concealers, which i will post how good these are when i have tried them out.
First the technic concealer pallette has four colours, afterglow, dewkist, nude and sand. This is supposed to be really good for covering up red patches or spots.
First the technic concealer pallette has four colours, afterglow, dewkist, nude and sand. This is supposed to be really good for covering up red patches or spots.
The afterglow is for helping the skin appear brighter, and can be used under the eyes (before under eye concealer) to cover up tired eyes and dark circles.
The dewkist helps cover blemishes and tones down redness. And is to be used before concealing, i got this pallette for this colour because i suffer from an occasional skin irritation due to an intolerance to cheese (i have sensitive skin), this causes me to get really big sore red spots, which turn in to very noticeable scabs. The skin around this area gets very dry and hard to cover up (this rash takes a few days to go down, and lots of E45 cream and spot treatment, see "how to get spot free skin" article), so i wanted to see if this concealer pallette could in any way improve the way skin looks until this rash goes down again.
The nude colour can be used to brighten skin and camouflage discolouration or as an eye shadow base. This one i will use after the dewkist to cover the spots a bit more, and after i will use my usual concealer, which is bourjois (stick concealer) in light, the bourjois is very good for my skin tone because i am very pale skinned, so it fits with my tone and it gives great coverage of spots.
The sand colour can be used as a concealer. Mixes well with the nude colour to create a perfect cover up colour. But because my skin is pale, this would stand out on my skin so i won't use this particular colour. But if you find it difficult getting the right concealer for your skin, i would highly recommend buying this from ebay or Amazon and mixing with a lighter or darker (depending on your skin tone) concealer stick colour to get the perfect concealer colour for you.
The NYX pallette has 96 beautiful colours, which can be mixed for a whole new shade if you can't find the one you are looking for, or you can use the colours as they come. I find many of reds and nudes in this pallette are great colours, they work well with my skin. So if you want to look this pallette up and see if these colours are for you, i will post the link. It is quite a good online site:

The Fräulein3°8 88 Color Eyeshadow Palette, has from what i can tell the same colours as the coastal scents 88 pallette, the colours are very beautiful with many peaches, pinks, greens, blues, purples, oranges, browns and silver/ greys, it also has a nice black colour, ideal for smokey looks or can be used as a smudgy eye liner.. The pallette i bought came with 21 make up brushes, which has pretty much everything you need for great make up application - except it doesn't have a foundation brush. The picture at the top of the page is similar to the one i have, but the colours are not quite the ones i would go for as shown in this picture, i am not big on pinks really. On the pallette i bought it has some lovely purple colours. i love the blues as well. But my favourite colours are the smokey brown colours and silver/ greys.

I use my lancome foundation brush, which i got for free from the make up stand as a first time buyer of their products. I use a foundation brush rather than sponges, because i find it gives better coverage and smooths on better. Whereas a sponger absorbs a lot of the product and doesn't blend in with the skin as well. So you can just sort of see the foundation sitting on the skin. With a brush it blends the foundation with the skin making it look completely natural. Which is what you want with foundation really.

I have now tried out these products, i was surprised just how great they are. The concealer pallette really helped to cover the red rash on my face. The eyeshadow pallette had great colours and although it doesn't look like there is much in this pallette, only a tiny amount is needed, it really goes a long way. I found just holding the brush on the colours was enough, whereas when i dabbed the eyeshadow with my brush, there was too much on the brush to blend or shape the eyeshadow. Lastly the lip pallette colours are amazing, i had to use lip balm or gloss with them as well to get a really wet lip look, but it lasted longer than my usual lipsticks do. I would definitely recommend these products. And there are some great videos on youtube for make up looks for the coastal scents 88 pallette, which is the same as the one i am using.
