Coastal Scents new lipsticks

Image
Cute, sleek outer packaging. I decided to try four. Coastal Scents always sends their products in a pretty organza bag, usually with a sample. This one I got is a blush duo. The new lipstick packaging is a rose gold tube. Making the lipsticks fancy in appearance, as well as making them look more expensive. These retail for only $3.95 each. I got mine on sale for $2.95 each. On the Coastal Scents website, they claim to be, "long lasting creamy lipsticks that are paraben free".

The author writes with a sense of humor, sometimes in unexpected places, where she finds humor in life. The love and loss she writes about includes her life with her husband and children, working side by side in a funeral home, and his untimely death. What follows proves to be a “trusting in God” that things will turn out for the better. I enjoyed reading this memoir. True stories tend to be some of my favorite reads. I found it interesting, reading about death, and the “business” of dying. The author makes it seem “matter of fact” like. She is a strong woman, who gathers strength in her faith. The book is based in two sections; the first being Dee Oliver’s story about meeting, and marrying Johnnie Oliver, and their years together, working side by side in their funeral home. The last section is written in ...
