Pink Angle Taklon Liner Brush is awesome... firm but super soft bristles... love it for lining eyes... i reordered the black handled one and it was the same
Pink Duo Fiber Powder Stippler is great for powder products... firmer than the black version with the super long handle .... would buy again
Pink Blending Fluff Brush is lil too big for eye but good for precision blending out face
Pink Deluxe Oval Shadow Brush is dense & soft but too big... I don't know where i could use it on my eye
Pink Oval Synthetic Concealer Brush & Pink Synthetic Oval Foundation are garbage... cheap
Pink Oval Taklon Lip Brush is great as a precision brush
Pink Round Crease Eye Brush is just ok... I'd give it a C-...it should be much softer than it is

UK people -
We all know how ridiculous the coastal scents shipping is over here, but I've just discovered that www.crownbrushes.co.uk sell all the brushes and more from CS for the same price, AND the 88 shimmer and original palettes, the 78 palette, and a foundation/concealer palette I've never seen before.
I checked out how much it'd be to ship the 88 palette... its £29.99 alone and shipping takes it to £34.94.
However, I think on CS the palette is $22 (or 21.95) plus $14 shipping which is roughly £25. But meh, great for the brushes on there!

I'm glad to hear this! I'm putting together a student/starter kit for an upcoming MUA workshop that I'll be attending, and I ordered the 88 regular palette, 28 neutral palette, the new 26 neutral/blush palette, the 10 blush palette, and the 66 lips palette!!! I'm excited for the lip palette....my workshop requires crazy colors like blue and silver, so it looks like I'm set! woo!

I would love to see a review of the lip palette!
I just bought the 88 matte palette and am wondering if i should have bought the crystal ice mica. does anyone use that to make the matte shadows more shimmery? i already have lots of frosts and not enough mattes, but i'm wondering if this works well? thanks!

Yes, I beleive they are. But, the shipping costs tend to be high since they are shipped from overseas. I could have saved a few bucks but I went with CS instead. I figured there would be less of a chance of breakage since it wouldn't be traveling as far, plus if something did break I would rather deal with CS over an international ebay seller. Just my 2 cents! my palettes actually came yesterday and they were packed so well! the bubble wrap alone will last me like 2938574 swaps, lol. can't wait to play around with them!

So I got the lip palette and it's okay, I like it, and I would say it's worth the $20, but I don't love it and I don't think I'll be reaching for it very often.
I do like the range of colors and textures - - the more pigmented ones really give opaque coverage, which was a pleasant surprise - I tried one of the blues and it was a holy-crap blue (which I actually liked). I would never buy an actual tube of blue lipstick, so it's nice to have some oddball colors - - I think that is probably the best thing about it, that it contains colors I wouldn't actually buy a whole tube of, so I get to try a lot of colors for the price of just a couple of tubes of other lipsticks.
That said, as far as the every day sorts of colors, I found several of the pinks to be either too coral-y or too purple-y - - and I am a pink lipstick girl so I was surprised that of the 4-5 pinks I first swatched, none of them really stood out to me. Also the glosses (the first 5 colors in the top row) are really thin and do not give any color payoff - - I'll be lucky to get 3 uses from each of them - on the first use, I actually hit the pan - the texture of those is like a thin Vaseline . The lipsticks themselves have more heft though and are probably good for 10-20 uses each.
All in all, it's okay, but if I lost it or it got damaged, I wouldn't repurchase. In fact I'm not 100% sure I'll even keep it. I think CS should stick with eye shadows - - those are well worth every penny plus some.

I ordered the 88 matte and the neutral palette off ebay because they were always sold out on coastal scents website. They are the same product and I got the two including shipping (there was a shipping discount on multiples) for a little bit less than one coastal scents palette w/o shipping. Shipping took kinda long but I expected that. I was pleased that they arrived in great condition nothing shattered or messed up. Mine came from Hong Kong. First time doing anything from ebay internationally but I trusted the reviews and all was well.

I'm pretty bummed about the shimmer palette. I've had it for months now, and I just can't use it.
I use UDPP. I've tried it with Chapstick and without.
It goes on all funky, and when I try to blend it, it goes completely away and you then see skin.
I've tried to love this but it's just not working. And I'm bummed, because a lot of the colors and bomb colors.
So I guess I'll try the matte palette and hope it works better. Are the colors the same? I like the colors, just not the shimmer finish.
