Re: coastal scents neutral palette for women of color

i have it, and i love it. some of the colors are comparable to MAC. pigmentation varies with each color of course, but it's an amazing deal for what you get.

Good thread.

I just bought the 26 color blush/shadow palette, I can't wait for it to come. I looked up a video for it on YouTube and there were some, but this palette is new. The one you're referring to has many review and swatch videos on YouTube, and a number of them are posted by WOC. Check them out!

Does anyone know how often CS has their "xx% off" sales? I know they had a 25% off everything during or after Thanksgiving. I want to order the palettes, but I can wait til they have a sale

Most of the 78 palette that I have are matte and I love it so much that I'm thinking about buying the ultra shimmer palette so I can mix them.

Vibrant color!

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.

I emailed CS a week ago and nada.

The only metallic ones are the silver and gold. The others are just regular gel liners.

I love the gel liners! It seems like some are having difficulty applying, but that has not been my experience. I use the Laura Mercier Flat Eye Liner brush to apply these and get a very smooth application.

I'm really happy with these, especially as they are $6.95 USD!

!!!! ^ I used them at a freelancing appointment today and they were just super awesome
I was so shocked how WELL they applied and blended, I even used a dark color and blended it into the crease and it was fabulous!

Really? I made my order on Thurs. Jan 8th, and I still haven't gotten it.

And I agree with the Tracking # thing, in the e-mail that I got from CS when it was shipped, it said something about the tracking # only showing when it has been delivered, so you can't track it's progress.

And I paid $15 for the 88 matte & 88 shimmer palettes. Pretty expensive, and then again it's my first time making an online purchase.

I just want my package!
