Christmas Gift Ideas for under €20

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Wow Christmas day is creeping up on us big time.  I dont know about you all but this year has been nothing but crazy for me..... One being trying to get Christmas presents sorted.  Usually I am finished by now but with Confirmation, 1st Communion, Twins starting primary school and my oldest start Secondary its been an expensive year.  

Christmas coming on top of that I wanted to get good Christmas Presents that are not going to cost me an arm and a leg.   

To be honest it used to be heart breaking for me that having a budget at Christmas time ment that I could not by my closest loved ones the best presents I wanted to buy them.  That was until this year when I really had to put myself to the test and try and get the best but not leave myself short.  

So today I am going to show you some of the items I bought my loved ones and maybe this might help you with your last minute shopping :) 

I have to start with some amazing products from a company I cant help but love lately :)  You may remember my blog post about Ziaja which is a company in Poland but is now available in Ireland.  This company works hard at giving us the best quality skincare for a very affordable price :)  Check out my review on their Natural Olive Skincare.  I love this range so much I jumped straight onto their website to order some more products for my loved ones and also for my babies :) :)   Much to my surprise they have gift sets for Christmas so I just had to buy some for my family :) 

First up is of course some products for the children :) :) 

Let me tell you know my kiddies were full of excitement when they seen me take this out of the box :)  They smelled these two beauties and cried for a bath straight away :)  Of course they chose the Bubble Cola one first :)  

Well let me tell you all the Bubble Cola smells exactly like Coca Cola !!!! Fact !!!! I mean if you had your eyes closed and someone gave this to you to smell and taste you will drink it lol.  The scent of cola fills the bathroom as you fill the bath :)  The water changes to a nice cola shade and as for bubbles there is plenty of them :)  Well let me tell you now each one of my kiddies give these bubble baths the thumbs up they deserve the scent is unreal and their favourite is of course the Bubble Cola.  My oldest kiddies cant choose between the two haha.  
What I love about this product is that its delicate to the skin and the main ingredient in this is Glycerin which can help heal skin irritations such as psoriasis, rashes etc.  It also helps the body maintain its water balance which is what children need especially at winter and summer months.  
Not Bad Eh?  The bottle contains 500ml and costs only 
The perfect stocking filler for children.  I promise you once the smell this they are going to ask for a bath straight away haha 

Next up for the kiddies is this amazing shampoo :) Again another favourite of all the kiddies in my house :) 

This is the perfect shampoo for kiddies :)  Epecially children who have cradle cap in which some children do have or any sort of tenderness on their scalp.  The main ingredients in this shampoo is 

Glycerin which we already now is for moisture 

Pro-vitamin B5 also acts like a moisturiser but no any ordinary moisturiser this seals the moisture on the childrens scalp which prevents dryness or even any more dryness to the scalp which can cause cradle cap to worsen or even dandruff 

It is also said to prevent tangling to childrens hair which I can vouch as my daughter has very long hair and it can be a nightmare sometimes to brush.  It gets that bad that I do have to apply conditioner to her hair but since using this its not half as knotty :) 

The scent is amazing on this and my children describe the scent as "Marshmallows"  it does infact smell a little like that but I think the Cookies & Ice cream is a perfect name for what I smell :) 

Another thumbs up from the kiddies and mummy too as it causes less screaming while brushing my daughters hair and less arguments when I say its time for a shower hehehe what more can we mums ask for ;)  For 400ml per bottle and only costing €2.99 Its another perfect gift for your child :) 

Next up is a gift for the Daddies, Grand dads, Uncles or brothers :) 

I do not know about you all but I find it very hard to choose something for men :)  and this has to be the first year I found it easier thanks to Ziaja.  

Years ago men were not into looking after their skin as much as today :)  Believe me I have noticed !!! Having 2 brothers and lots of male cousins I have seen the change throughout the years :)  

Mens skin do have problems too but not alot of them know what to do with their skin when it flares up.  I especially have noticed my dads skin becoming tough, blotchy and very red.  This is why I chose this gift set .  

The gift set only cost €9.99 for 3 products 

The products you are getting is 

Mens moisturising face cream SPF6 50ml,

Mens shower gel 300 ml,

Mens roll on anti-antiperspirant 60ml.

A Pretty amazing value pack :) 

Of course next up is for the ladies :) 

 I got a couple of samples of the Cocoa Butter range and I have to admit I fell in love.  So much so I went on line and order 2 of these beauties one for myself and one for a loved one.  This set is unbelievable value.  You are getting 3 products in this gift set for only €9.99.   The set contains 

Cocoa body lotion 400ml,

Cocoa hand cream 80ml,

and

Cocoa shower soap 500ml.

Cocoa Butter is very beneficial for your skin :) 

Cocoa Butter is very high in Antioxidants.  Cocoa Butter is high in fatty acids which hydrates the skin deeply.  I suffer with very dry skin in alot of areas on my body and find this is amazing especially on my legs.  It gives me such a natural looking shine on my legs I love especially when I tan ;) 

I also Have to mention the scent mmmmmm It smells like hot chocolate :) I love it 

Lastly from Ziaja 

The Natural Olive Range:  This is one range I am very familur with as you all may remember I tried their face creams and absolutely love them I still use them every single day :) 

So I just had to try out their body products :) Again this set is only €9.99 for 3 products :) 

In this set you are getting :) 

Olive body lotion 400ml,

Olive hand cream 80ml,

and

Olive shower gel 500ml.

I am really looking forward to trying this range out for myself and I am that confident It will be just as good as the face creams I went ahead and bought one for a loved one :) :) 

I will surely be reviewing each one of these in the near future :) 

If you are interested in seeing more gift sets Ziaja has to offer check out their website or if in Ireland check our your local pharmacy.  If you are ordering your gifts from the website and want them before Christmas today is the last day to order :)  

Next Items are from Penneys/Primark 

The Countdown to Christmas Calender which only costs €5 

Its never too late to grab this calender for any girl in your life.  I thing the best thing about this calender and giving it to your loved one on Christmas day is that they get to open all the days at once :) :) After all could you really contain yourself ??? I know I couldnt 

Behind each day there is a little goody that can be used such as a nail file, nail polish, glitter eyeliner etc :) I dont want to spoil it too much but I love that this is only €5 and can be very exciting for any teenage girl in your life :) 

The next item is a nicely designed Christmas cracker which contains 3 beauty items :) :) and only costs €3 :)  Together these two makes a great and exciting gift and still only costs €8 for the two 

Next from Penneys 

Well every lady at Christmas time needs a little sunshine on their skin and what better way to do that than buying them this great Ultimate Travel Set by Cocoa Brown.

I am surely you all know at this stage that I am a huge fan of Cocoa Brown and the fact that this travel set contains 3 of my favourite products is like a dream come true for me.  Of course this set is not for me but I know for a fact that the person I bought it for will absolutely love this :)  

For only €10 you are getting 

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan  

Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff Body Scrub 50ml

Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze Gradual Tanner 

The perfect combination for that perfect looking tanned skin for a full week.  The travel sized products are that genourous you do not have to worry about tanning for at least a month :) 

The next Gift set is by MeMeMe Cosmetics.  

If the women in your life love makeup well this the perfect gift for them :) 

I fell in love with this gift set the first time I seen it and I just couldnt resist buying it for my loved one.  MeMeMe Cosmetics is amazing and I know for a fact that this gift set will be a hit :)

Eye Inspire Eyeshadow Trio 01, an Eye Sweep Liquid Definer Pen, Fat Cat Volumising Mascara, Eye Line Pencil in Coal and an instruction card to show you how to creat a smokey eye :) 

A Very ideal gift set for any makeup lover :) 

Now for the Lips :) 

 Every woman and man would love this set as the winter is hard on our lips as well as the summer.  We need protection for our lips and what better way to do that than by buying this perfect Vaseline Gift Set which only costs €7.99.  It contains 3 different flavoured lip balms and comes in this cute round case which can be reused afterwards :)  Be it for jewellery, makeup or what ever you wish :) 
I Think its a brilliant gift 

Lastly I think this next gift would be perfect for any woman who has the Urban Decay Naked Palette on their wish list.  Obviously the Naked palette is quite expensive and to be honest at Christmas time it can be hard to raise the fund for it.  So why not go for the cheaper alternative and a brilliant dupe :) 

This only costs €7.99 and is just as good in my eyes as the Naked Palette.  If you are still not sure Check out my blog post about them check out my swatches and it will surely change you mind :) :) ;) 

I have so many recommendations for affordable gifts under €20 but this blog post would go on forever :)  There is another post you should check out by me for some more gift ideas and that is on my Top Ten Blank Canvas Cosmetics Products If you are looking for something for your ladies i your life they would really appreciate good makeup brushes etc :) Blank Canvas is surely the place to go :) 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and found it helpful :)  If you have any recommendations feel free to leave them below would love to hear from you 

Until Next time

Irish Beauty Bloggers Secret Santa: The Reveal 2014

Hello my beauties I hope you are well :) 

Its that time of year again :) 

I am not sure if you remember last year I did a blog post on Alot of Irish Beauty Bloggers getting involved in Secret Santa :)  To our surprise there was 40+ of us involved and it was a very exiting time for us.  Not know who got us and shopping for our receiver.  To refresh your memories check out last years post here :) 

Well as you can guess we all got together again and took part in Secret Santa again this year.  There is even more people involved in it this year which leaves it all the more exciting.  Aisling form Total Makeup Addict was brilliant again this year to organise the whole thing and I wanted to say a huge thank you to her for making this happen.  Its is brilliant that for such a small country we Beauty Bloggers have formed a brilliant little pact together and are hugely supportive of each other too.  

This year Aisling formed a questionnaire on How much we wanted to spend on each other, when the last day of postage is and of course when the big reveal of what we all got is going to be :)  As you can guess its today :)  I am so exited to see what everyone got :) 

We also had the option on weither we wanted to reveal ourselves to our receivers or not.  I chose to allow my receiver to guess who I was by A)  Delivering the parcel to the door (which was a big risk  B) to leave a clue of who I was on her card :)  I am sure she knows who I am and I cant wait to see if she guessed right :)  If she did guess I will leave a link below to her blog so you can see what I got her :) 

So Last week was when I got my Secret Santa Package through the door I was overly excited like a big baby on Christmas Day :)  I just couldnt wait to open my present and neither could my little brood :) :) 

The presents were all wrapped individually which left it all the more exciting.  I recieved 8 goodies and a card.  

First of all I just had to open the card to see did my secret santa reveal herself and I was delighted she did :) 

Awww So Sweet thank you Anita :)  I love Anita's Blog :) 

Now from the presents :) :) 

One by one we all opened the presents to reveal some amazing gifts and each one I never tried which was all the more exciting 

Anita as I know is a Oriflame Representative so it made me smile that she added 2 items from Oriflame to my gifts :)  I am guessing these are some of her favourites too :)  First of all she gave me The Love Nature Exfoliating Cleanser in Grape and I have to admit this smells absolutely beautiful :) I cannot wait to try this 
Secondly from Oriflame is the Nature Secrets Hand Cream in which I havent tried yet but am sure will have a post on it soon :) 

Next up she gave me a mini Yankee Candle in the scent Soft Blanket which I have tried burned before and I adore the scent.  Its mild yet you can smell it everywhere in your home :)  Thank you Anita :) 

Next up is makeup and the first thing I noticed was Mascara by NYC I like the sound of this one as it says its Volumizing High Definition :)  As you can tell I have never tried it before so am super excited to try this :) 

The next Makeup Items are by Wet N Wild which I am surely all of you know is one of my favourite drugstore brand :) :)  Not only that but all items got for me by Anita is items I have never tired EEEEKKKKK :) 
First up is the Wet N Wilds "Arts in the Streets" Eyeshadow palette.  This palette is surely one palette I might have passed out on buying myself because I dont normally go for these shades but I am glad she got it for me because I could be surprised with them :)  You know how it is when you go clothes shopping yu see something on the hanger, you think "gosh that would never suit me" until you actually try it on.  Well this is the hanger moment for me so I am super excited to play with this little beauty.  Not only that but all shades are matte LOVE IT :) 

Next up from Wet n Wild is the Mega Rocks Nail polis in shade "Creative Control"  Look at the chunk glitter on this I am going to apply this over black nail polish for Christmas I love it. 

Next from Wet and wild is this stunning Color Icon single glitter eyeshadow which is a cream eye shadow :)  I am going to look forward to using this for Christmas looks so be sure to check out my face book page for some pictures in the coming days ;)  Just look at that glitter :) :) 

Lastly from Wet N Wild is The Megaslicks Balm Stain in shade "Red-dy or Not" (love the name)  This is one lip product I havent tried from Wet N Wild and I love the shade Anita picked for me as Its so Christmassy :) :) I will surely be wearing this on Christmas day too After all if its a stain and it works I will need this on my lips.  Well there will be alot of eating and drinking involved ;) 

Lastly but not least is the Collection 2000 Glam Glitter :)  This looks interesting :)  One end is a Fixing Gel and the other end is loose black glitter.  According to the instructions you apply the glitter gel first and then pat on the glitter on top :)  I am excited to see how this turns out :) :) 
I did a little try out on my hand and here is what it looks like ;)  (I couldnt resist) 

I can not thank Anita enough for all of my goodies I love each and every last one :)  I am super excited to play around with them.  I really enjoyed the experience this year again thanks to Aisling fair play to her for all the organising and hopefully next year we will be doing it all over again :) 
If you are interested in seeing what everyone else got check out the twitter hashtag #irishbloggersSS14 I know my day is going to busy reading all the blog posts and watching all the videos :) :) 

Until Next Time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

NYX HD Concealer Wand Review

Hello Beauties I hope you are all well 

Todays review is on the NYX HD Photogenic Concealers :) 

I have be dying to try this concealer out now for a very long time as I have heard so many great things about it.  I just never got around to trying it out until NYX became available in Ireland.  I liked the idea of buying these in person rather than online because that way I was able to tell which one would suit me better by swatching them.  Today I am going to show you 3 different shades of the NYX HD Concealer.  There are 12 different shades altogether in this concealer which is brilliant because you are guaranteed to find the shade suitable for you.  3 out of these 12 shades are different.  The 9 shades are from light to dark which is made suitable to match your skin tone 

Then there are 3 different shades or should I say corrective concealers 

One is green which is a concealer that cancels out redness in your skin 

Yellow which is suitable for those dreaded dark circles under the eyes 

Lastly there is purple which is used used to normalize yellow-coloured skin imperfections such as sallow complexions and yellow bruises. It can also help conceal very dark under-eye circles and dark spots on bronze skin tones. 

For 3g of product you are paying only €6.99/$5 each not bad right?  but are they even worth the value read on to find out more :) 

The packaging reminds me alot of my all time favourite concealer I use and that is the Collection Perfection Concealer.

This is a plastic tube like packaging which comes with a sponge tip applicator. 

The sponge tip applicator is the perfect size for applying to the more difficult areas of the face : )

Let me show you the shades I chose :) and tell you what I thought of them all Starting with 

Yellow is of course a concealer for covering up dark circles under the eyes :)  It is a brightener for those dark areas on your face which can still be seen under your foundation.  I suffer with dark circles and dark eyelids of course been a mum of 5 its a nightmare sometimes.  Yellow concealer is also great for evening out your skin especially when its dull.  I loke using this on my dark lids especially as it preps my eyes for my eye makeup look of the day.  Using this concealer on the lid means you will not have to use any other base for your eyeshadows :)  I think this is brilliant and if you do suffer with very dark circles this is definately an advantage to have even with your normal under eye concealer.  I have found that this is only medium coverage but it was enough to cover up my dark circles :)  Sometime my dark circles can be very very bad depending on how tired and stressed I am and I find if I add this to my normal under eye concealer its sorts me out brilliantly :)  

Next up is an everyday concealer in shade Beige 

This is a medium toned beige concealer.  Its the middle shade and I find this a great match for me at the moment I could do with Shade 3 aswell as the more the winter sets in the more pasty I am getting :)  
This concealer is again medium coverage.  This is completely different to what I am normally used to as I used my Collection Perfection Concealer for a more full coverage effect.  This concealer is perfect for over your foundation :)  its gives you a little more coverage for the areas you want for example under the eyes and for any blemishes that are not totally covered up by your foundation.  I love using the yellow concealer along with this under my eyes especially on my darker days :) 

 I found this didnt settle into my fine lines or didnt dry up on any small  blemishes I had but If you have quite a few blemishes to cover up this might not be the concealer for you.  
Last week I had a very nasty blemish which turned into two and to be honest they were the biggest blemishes I ever had in my life They were so bad they looked more like they were infected .  I found this concealer didnt just do the job I wanted in covering them up I had to use a more full coverage concealer.  This is pretty amazing to use on an everyday basis and does last throughout the day once set with a powder.  It hasnt replaced my all time favourite concealer but its certainly one I will repurchase for my not so desperate days for concealing 

Lastly we have the green concealer 

This concealer is perfect for anyone who suffers with redness on their face.  You can use this to cancel your Rosacea which I know alot of people find hard to cover up.  Rosacea is the natural redness you get on your cheeks and the only way people feel they can cover it up is by wear full coverage foundation everyday.  I have spoken to quite a few people who suffer with Rosacea and they have told me they sometimes feel embarrassed about their rosacea that they find it extremely hard to cover it up, that its hard to t wear any shades of blush because their natural redness always seems to peep through their foundation.  
Well this is what green concealers were made for :)   Simple apply a small amount of this concealer to the areas you suffer redness before your foundation and you will automatically notice a difference.  Then you apply your foundation (I recommend stippling your foundation on when using this concealer for full effect) as usual and your redness with not peep through :) :) I find this works brilliantly its perfect for covering up any redness from spots too :)  The redness stays away the whole day long leaving you free to use whatever shade of blush you desire :) 

If find this very light weight and buildable.  It so easy to use and very easy to blend 

Over all I think these concealers are well worth having in your collection.  If you are one who suffers with extreme acne and acne scarring I recommend a more full coverage concealer than this but anyone else who is simply looking for a concealer to brighten dark areas and cover up only slight blemishes this is for you.  As for the corrective concealers....... Well I use them on a regular basis I absolutely adore the yellow one and use that quite frequently either on its own or on my worst dark days i use with my full coverage concealer for that extra brightness :)   The green corrective concealer I rarely use on myself but have used it more on people I apply makeup to and they have confirmed their redness stayed away all day long :)  
Here is a photo of me before and after applying a mixture of the yellow and my usual concealer under my eyes and also used Beige concealer to cover up a few blemishes i have been battling with :) 

Have you ever tried the NYX HD Concealer ?
What is your thoughts on them 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette Review

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well 

Today I come to you with a review on the Coastal Scents Revealed Palette.  I am sure if you are a makeup junkie like myself you have heard about this palette as its a well known palette by alot of bloggers and makeup gurus on youtube :)  That is in fact where I have seen it alot.  I have heard some great reviews about this and just had to get it to try it out for myself.  

This palette comes in 2 versions, there is also a palette by Coastal Scents called Revealed 2 in which I couldnt help but get also and will review in a future post :) 

These palettes cost at the moment $19.99 for 20 eyeshadows.  Thats pretty impressive so far right?! 

The palette itself comes in a handy little box which looks exactly like the palette itself only it has a picture of the palette in the back of the box.  The palette itself is really slim and lightweight which is always handy for travelling or even handier for storing in your drawer.  The lid of the palette is held closed by a magnet I love that :) 

The most beautiful sight is about to happen when I open this stunning palette :) :) 

Doesnt it look stunning :) :)

As I mentioned before there is a total of 20 eyeshadows in this palette and as you can see they are all neutral shades :) :) 

There is a nice mixture of mattes and shimmers in there which is perfect for day time and night time looks :)  

There is only 4 matte shades but to be honest I am happy with the shade choices for the mattes and you will soon see why :) 

Starting with the top row :) 

Shade 1:  Is a pale matte yellow toned beige shade.  This is quite pigmented and and incredibly soft a perfect shade for blending or to use as a highlight :) 

Shade 2:  This is another perfect highlight shade only this has a shimmery finish.  The shade is veering towards a pale pinky champagne with tiny silver shimmer.  Again pigmented and a little goes a long way :) 

Shade 3:  This is one of my favourite shades in the palette.  A stunning rosey pinky shade with silver shimmer.  Oh my goodness this is super pigmented and really looks stunning all over the lid :)  I find this shade really brings the green out of my hazel eyes :) 

Shade 4:  This is another matte shade the perfect transition colour.  A light tan shade very pigmented and very soft.  

Shade 5:  Another Matte shade for us to play with.   This is a medium toned taupe shade.  This shade has a tint of purple in it.  I love to use this as a transition shade or even lightly in the crease for daytime looks :)  

Shade 6:  Another favourite of mine :) :)  A medium Bronzy brown with gold shimmer.  This shade is very pigmented and very easy to apply.  

Shade 7:  This is a medium matte brown the perfect crease/ blending/ brow shade.  This is very pigmented and again very soft 

Shade 8:  Another beautiful shade.  A shimmery gold and very pigmented :) 

Shade 9:  A Deep taupey brown with golden shimmer this is super pigmented and very soft and stunning shade to mix with shade 8 :) 

Shade 10:  This is a shimmery silver with a tint of taupe in there.  Its not your ordinary silver.  This again is very pigmented and soft :) 

Next up is row 2 :)  This row is more on the deeper and more pigmented side :) 

Shade 11:  A Deep Copper Brown wow is this shade full of pigmentation :)  A little goes a long way with the beauty I love it :) 

Shade 12:  This is a deep brown shade with the slightest shimmery finish.  This is more of a satin finish than shimmery.  If you look very closely you will see the slightest gold shimmer its beautiful 

Shade 13:  A deep taupey grey shade.  This too has the slightest amount of shimmer which gives a satin finish :)  Very pigmented 

Shade 14;  This shade is somewhat like Shade 12 only a shade darker the perfect crease and outer V shade for creating a daytime smokey eye look hugely pigmented 

Shade 15:  I am totally in love with this shade :)  A medium rose gold with a copper undertone to it :) again with the tiniest amount of golden shimmer.  Very pigmented and super soft so so easy to work with.  I have applied this shade on the lid with a damp brush and wow AMAZING!!!!! 

Shade 16:  This is a little like Shade 13 only more on the brown side :) :) Again very pigmented 

Shade 17:  is like shade 15 only more on the copper side :)  There is plenty of gold in this shade and super super pigmented.  When applied with a damp brush it gives a more foiled and pigmented finish.  This shade would be perfect for a christmas look :) :) 

Shade 18:  A Deep dark brown with a slight golden shimmer again another satin finish eye-shadow and again very pigmented :) 

Shade 19:  A Deep Silver perfect for those night time smoky eyed looks.  Very pigmented and super soft to work with 

Shade: 20:  A Deep matte black :) I love using this on the outer V I also use this as eye-liner during the day by simply dampening my eye-liner brush.  Its not the deepest black I have come across but its very very close.  Its also very easy to blend which is hard to find as matte eyeshadow especially dark shade can be hard to blend in a more affordable palettes :)  Its also very buildable :) 

I just have to highlight something before I continue.  I am absolutely amazed with how creamy these eyeshadows feel,  They almost remind me of how my Lorac Pro eyeshadows feel to touch and how they apply to the eyes :)  That says alot because of the price difference between the two.  

I also have to admit there is less fall out with this palette compared to my Lorac Pro Palette.  Thats not saying that you will not experience some fall out as I have noticed especially with the more darker shade you will experience some fall out.  The black especially !!! So I would advise you if you are creating the dark smokey eye maybe do your eye makeup before you apply your foundation :) 

With a primer (which I use 98% of the time) these shadows will last all day and even all night long.  I have worn these shadows with an eyeshadow base for the longest of 12 hours and I can safely say my eyeshadow looked exactly the same as when I first applied them that day :) 

I highly recommend this eyeshadow palette especially at the price it is :)  You could literally get away with only owning this palette and been able to create 10 + different looks :) 

Here is a daytime smokey eye look I created using the Shade 1 on the brow bone, A mixture of Shade 3 & Shade 6 on the lid, shade 11 on the outter corner blending inwards, Shade 4 for blending, Shade 7 in the crease and shade 14 in the outer V.   I also used Shade 20 as eye-liner :)  

As you can tell I adore this palette.  I highly recommend it to you all.  I know alot of you might ask me this question in the comments so I am going to cover it now and that is about shipping cost as Coastal Scents is an American Site and I can safely say on my last order which included this palette along with 2 other palettes and 4 makeup brushes the total shipping cost was only $20 and there was no custom charges :) 

I really hope you enjoyed this review :) 

Until Next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
