Coastal Classic Creations Lipsticks & Blush Reviews & Swatches

Seascape Creme Blush

As I mentioned in my review of Coastal Evenings Eyeshadow/Liner, Coastal Classic Creations is an environmentally friendly company committed to making safe chemical-free and cruelty-free products that are very high quality. I was lucky enough to receive a nice selection of their products as a birthday gift from my mom who is devoted to their line (and I can see why). She also favors this line because they offer a wide range of gluten-free products.

Seascape Creme Blush is described as a "rich dark rose color with an underlying deep red. Rich in high oleic organic sunflower oil known for its moisturizing and conditioning properties, our creme blush is soft and light." To use, apply with latex-free cosmetic wedge (included) along cheek line, hair line, and on the chin. Blend well. Follow with loose powder if desired.

It is a lovely dark rose shade and looks just as lovely on the lips as it does on the cheeks. I find the color nearly indistinguishable from Ida's Rose Lipstick when applied to the lips or cheeks. The texture is very soft, emollient, and a pleasure to use. Seascape Creme blush is $24.00 .25 oz.

Ingredients: Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil; Elaeis Guineensis (Palm Kernel Stearin); Euphorbia Antisyphillitica and/or Pedilanthus Pavonis (Candelilla Wax); Red Iron Oxide (CI 77491).

Ida's Rose Lipstick is described as a Raspberry Rose shade. It applies rather sheer at first, but I have since learned that these products are quite buildable- so one really can achieve a dark sultry color. The shade has been compared to Clinique's Black Honey by devotees- which seems to be a very good description of the color. I use my finger when I want a sheer wash of color, but a brush when I really want a rich dark lip.

Balmy Breeze Lipstick is described as a Milk Chocolate Pink shade. This shade has a very nice rich depth to it- it is almost a deep mauve brown. I love this color!

Ida's Rose & Balmy Breeze Lipsticks are $22.00 .25 oz.

Ida's Rose Ingredients: Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil; Elaeis Guineensis (Palm Kernel Stearin); Euphorbia Antisyphillitica and/or Pedilanthus Pavonis (Candelilla Wax); Red Iron Oxide (CI 77491)

Balmy Breeze Ingredients: Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil; Elaeis Guineensis (Palm Kernel Stearin); Euphorbia Antisyphillitica and/or Pedilanthus Pavonis (Candelilla Wax); Ultramarine Pink (CI 77007); Brown Iron Oxide (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)

EWG Rating: Both lipsticks and the blush have an astonishing score of 0! In terms of safety it simply doesn't get better than that!

 

Overall assessment: Lovely natural products that come in very nice shades that feel and look great. I am very pleased with what I have from Coastal Classic Creations and will definitely continue using their products!!
