I knew there was a good reason my gut told me not to try that stuff!! Just the name kinda freaks me out. Makes me think of that evil stabby Hellraiser cube. I'm a weirdo.

I was thinking that I should have got the shimmer 88 palette instead. The matte 88 isn't all matte though, so I guess I'll live. Haha! I also got the neutral palette. I don't think I am going to buy anymore since I am about to spend a whole bunch of money on MAC within the next two months.

LOL, I say go for it. That's my next CS purchase, along with some brushes. I <3 them. I don't think I'd have gotten the matte palette. Something about shimmer just makes me happy.

I am in Canada and I ordered from there --- you have to select USPS First Class Mail International. The way they list the shipping options is a bit overwhelming and it took forever for me to get that.
I bought the 78 palette and 3 brushes, and my shipping came up to $8.86.

Thanks love, I figured it out. I bought three palettes (neutral, 28 shadow / blush, and 10 blush palette)
shipping came to 20 dollars.

They shipped it so fast it made my head spin, but one drawback is that I haven't been able to use the tracking # they provided. The information on the site still says it's "expected for shipping" and hasn't been updated since the beginning. I'm totally anal so I wanted to be able to follow it's progress

Anyone knows what happened to the 88 palette in a SHINY case?

yes, the USPS "tracking" is really more like delivery confirmation. mine is never updated until delivery. UPS has a better tracking system which seems to be actual tracking from stop to stop.

This is driving me nuts! I'm used to Canada Post --- they update every step of the way (I can see each stop in each city and they update so frequently that if I log in the morning it's to be delivered, it tells me right away). I need a leather strap to chew on, or some sedatives

IT ARRIVED! It's in pristine condition, the colors are amazing, and there is no funky smell on my brushes (although I am washing them --- and my others, just cause I'm in the mood now).
Also, my "comment" on my order form was "Yay" and someone highlighted it and drew a little smiley on my invoice

Ok, I know this is my third post in a row in this thread, and after this one I'll cease and desist!
I've been swatching all the eyeshodow colors from the 78 palette (version 1) and OH MY GOD I am in love. The shadows are highly pigmented, and have an incredible variety of colors. The browns are kickass neutrals for me and I really like the finish/texture of the shadows. There are a lot of mattes and the shimmer is so subtle. I did an amber/yellow/brown eye and it makes my blue eyes pop like crazy.
The best part is, I get to experiment with all these colors for a little more than $20. Quite a deal!
My brushes are still drying, but they seem to be really good quality. The kabuki shed four or five hairs when I washed it but I was a little rough (didn't want soap to get stuck in the base).
I have swatches all over my arms, and leftover swatches of LiquidLast from yesterday --- I look like glorious clown vomit

Meisje, which option for shipping to Canada did you use? USPS International Priority?
I'm thinking of getting the blush/contour palette once they get them in again.

After falling in love with the 88 palette I ordered the 56 blush/shadow palette. The colors are gorgeous and extremely pigmented!
hiya I have been interested in the coastal scents palette but have been put off by the hefty shipping to the UK (for the palettes i want its almost the same as the cost of the items) i went on ebay.co.uk and typed in 88 palette and blush palette (not coastal scents) and i found a seller that was selling them for around £8 they had both eyeshadow palettes and the neautral one and the blush one.
I was wondering if anyone has ordered from them and if so are they exactly the same as coastal scents because i cant see a difference in the pictures.
hope someone can help xx
