Re: Coastal Scents 28-pan Neutral Palette

Every shipment gets a different free gift. My last two gifts were a Pencil Me In eyeliner in Jet SParks (got quite a few compliments when I wore it... CS doesn't carry it anymore, which is probably why I got it as a gift) and some really pretty gold glitter in my last package. I think they choose gifts for each customer semi-arbitarily. Once, when I made a really small order I didn't get a gift at all. It just depends.

I got the same thing. It's pretty, isn't it?
Yesterday I ordered an empty 15 pan palette and pressing medium. I'm going to start pressing my pigments!
Hopefully I will use more of my collection if I do this, that is my goal.

Re: Coastal Scents 28-pan Neutral Palette
Enablers! I just bought the 28-Neutral Palette, the Blush/Contour Palette, and the 1 oz. Silica powder.
Why, oh why couldn't I have wanted this when they had free shipping?
I am severely lacking in the neutral department (I'm waaaay more likely to pick up an electric blue than a brown) but I've seen a ton of youtube vids on how a lot of the colors are similar to MAC, not to mention some really gorgeous tutorials.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette
I'd love to get it, but just can't fathom paying the $12 shipping. I mean, its still a great buy, but I don't think its worth more than $20 period. You can get a 100 at Sephora or Ulta for like $12. I know the 88 is supposed to have really pigmented shadows and such, but I'm still sitting on the fence with this one.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette
You know what though, I've had shadows, palettes and what not from ulta and sephora where as soon as went to swipe it, I could see how chunky they were and when I could start to apply them, immediate fallout. That was a while ago so they might have new formulas and whatnot but I paid the shipping(mine came to almost $11) and I'm completely satisfied. Seriously though, I think about me buying a couple of MAC shadows and it's still more than the pallet itself.
I was thrown by the shipping also but then I thought that I'm still getting more for my money so I bought a total of four things and my package got to me when they said it would. You can also try buying from ebay and it may come out cheaper but I really think they are worth it because it's so versatile. I will be ordering more from Coastal Scents.

Uh, 12 dollar shipping? What? For USPS Priority Mail, the shipping for one palette is $7.60, and remains in that neighborhood if you get more items. theres a lot of shipping optiona, maybe you'd want to play around withj them a bit, unless you're looking for express/overnight shipping.

Has anyone tried CS mineral foundation? I ordered some samples on Tuesday and it's already been delivered to my parents' door! I'm shocked, figured it'd be at least a week since Christmas is right around the corner. Gonna test it out whenever I get out of work. Also ordered the 3 limited edition brush set. I ordered both the 88 palettes already, as well as the 10 piece blush palette, on Cyber Monday. I do like the eyeshadows, but with work being so busy, by the time I get home the last thing on my mind is looking pretty so I haven't messed with them much. And the blush palette, I really like it, too! I can't use all of the colors, but the ones I can look really nice on me. Guess I'll report back on how I like the foundations and brushes.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette
i have both the original 88 palette and the shimmer palette and i like them both. yeah some of the matte shadows are a bit chalky and you do get some fallout with some of the shimmer shadows but they do have great pigmentation and staying power with a base, and they are great for traveling. i also like that fact that you get so many different colors so you're able to experiment with new looks without spending too much money.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette
i have the matte version, the shimmer version, and their neutral and blush/contour palettes.
i love all four of them lol.
the 88's in either matte or shimmer are shockingly pigmented. the colors are vibrant, but just be aware they are teh size of a dime, but i mean, hell, they can last you a long time.
use a base. use good brushes and you should be good.

You have to go to their website and read the descriptions on the individual colors.... some are, and some aren't. It depends on the color.

Thank you!
I checked out, they only say the size of the particles and just say "cosmetic safe" or "perfect for makeup", that's why i was wondering if it's actually eye safe or not...

Hmm, funny...they used to have it on each color. I suppose they revised. I did notice this though on the main glitter page

So I guess you would check the particle size and make sure that the one you want is that size or smaller.

| Our .004 size glitters can be used in fine mist sprays! These really add to your product enhancement and add a touch of whimsy. This is also the safest size glitter for eye makeup products. |
