I love this pallete. It allows people to try out colours they would NEVER have bought, but since it is in the pallette looking so pretty it encourages experimentation!. The staying power is a little lacking, but you cannot beat the price.
I LOVE colors! And I love eyeshadow! So when I found this I was completely ecstatic!
For the cheap cheap price of approximately $31CAN (that's shipping included I believe), you'll never have to purchase another palette again for a while!
However, every good has a bad:
1. The palette was smaller than I thought, therefore each color was about the size of a nickle, so if there are colors you use more often, it might run out faster.
2. I bought the shimmer palette (what girl wouldn't!?), but after multiple uses, I realized how flaky and pigmented the colors are. After application, the flecks tend to fall into my eyes, so for sensitive eyes, you may want to be careful. Although a great way around this is either blending the color into your hand first to remove most of the flakes, or to moisten your brush so the shadow sticks on better.
Overall, I love this product for creating any sort of look. However, I recommend you start with the regular palette first (because I assume it would be less flaky), and then move into the shimmer.
I came across this palette at a wedding show a few months ago. I was amazed at the colour selection and the vibrancy of the colours.
I like to keep my eye make-up really subtle during the day, and this palette has a wide variety of neutral tones for me.
At night time, I love to play up my eyes and get really experimental. This palette has enough colours to satisfy my creative side, and although all colours aren't great for my skin tones, I find that when I'm applying eye shadow on my friends of different skin tones, there is a good selection for them as well.
I thought that I would review the Coastal Scents 88 Color Eye Shadow Palette. I first heard about this palette when watching makeup tutorials from guru's on Youtube. Ever since I saw it, I knew that I was going to love it. And it did not disappoint!
I was very excited when I received my palette in the mail, I just couldn't wait! There are 88 highly pigmented eye shadows that come in this palette. You can purchase the matte/satin, or the ultra shimmer palette, and there is almost every colour that you could possibly think of! They are very beautiful and pigmented when used with a good eye shadow primer, and they blend very well! I was very impressed.
Unfortunately the shadows are, well, as small as a dime, but with the price you can't go wrong! These palettes are also circulating around Ebay for much higher prices since Coastal Scents originally did not have their logo on their palettes. I believe that credit should go to CoastalScents.com because they are the original makers of these these wonderful impressive quality palettes, and their hard work definately shows!
I highly recommend this palette to everyone!
