PR`d: Costal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Palette.

Coastal Scents 88 Color Eyeshadow Palette
Purchased @ CoastalScents.com ($18.95)

Claims: Highly pigmented shades, all shadows can also be applied wet for a deeper longer lasting effect. The compact case makes it easy for storing and traveling. The colors do not have a ton of shimmer in them if this is what you are looking for, you can always dust shimmer over top as I did in the above photo. It is nearly a 50 50 mix of matte and satin with slight shimmer. The case has a matte surface and measures 9″ x 6.5″ (23 cm x 16.5 cm) closed, The pots are Dime Size around and contain plenty of powder for many excessive uses.

My Rating: My Rating: ?????
(Loved it – Will purchase time & time again).

Pros:

• Great color payoff; very pigmented.
• Tons of colors!
• Cheap!
• Very minimal shimmer, matte & satin mixture.

Cons:

• High shipping costs.
• Large case, to flimsy for my taste.
• Fall out.

My Opinion: For the price, Coastal Scents offers a lot. I use this on a daily basis but honestly i should of gotten the 88 Warm Palette instead since i don’t use much “color”. But regardless, at least i have every color offered. It’s well worth the money but shipping was high, the only downfall to this purchase.

The colors offers a really nice mixture of a matte and satin finish. They’re highly pigmented but does have some fall-out when applying. I normally pat this on before i start sweeping to prevent excess fall out. This is another one of my HG items. If you haven’t already picked yourself up one of these, i highly recommend it.

I would rather purchase this than buy individual MAC colors since i don’t wear colors much. It’s great for artistry use and also if you follow YouTube Guru’s, a lot of them use this palette in their tutorials.
