Ebay. I got mine from seller abestlife in China. eBay Seller: abestlife: Health Beauty items on eBay.com

They don't appear to have the 26 combo palette in stock right this minute, but I'd check in a few days.

finally caved in and got the 28 neutral palette. It's really nice, I didn't want to order on ebay, 'cause I didn't want to wait a long time...but I wish I did. The new packaging is so ugly! in big ass letters it says COASTAL SCENTS, 28 PALETTE...and on the bottom, the website. AY, so uglies.

Ashleyisawesome has the same theory that I did when I when I bought the 88 Original CS palette. I wanted to play around with a bunch of colours before buying them from MAC or a different, pricier brand.

IMHO, it's a great starter palette if you aren't sure what colours will look good on you. You HAVE to use a base though, or the colour payoff sucks for some of the eyeshadows (ex. the purples and peaches). The shimmers seem to show up more than the mattes do.

I always end up buying dupes from MAC if I love the colour, but it's an awesome palette to have when you just want to play around.

I remember my friend bought me the MOD palette (88 colors) like 5-6 years ago for $60.
Kinda pains and annoys me the same palette is sold so cheaply now, lol. Sigh*
Too bad I sold it years ago, this whole CS-craze got me wanting it again...

Go to ebay and you can probably get both for the price of one at coastalscents

All speak over this shop. On Friday I wanted to order something there. But the order could't be sent, since they have problems. I hope the problem are soon repaired and I can finally buy.

I just ordered some of the hot pots based on Koren's video of the MAC dupes. I got 12 to take advantage of the free palette offer.

I don't have the MAC colors so I won't know for certain how good the dupes actually are but I'm excited to test them out.

I'm waiting for more reviews of the hotpots, so far all I have seen is videos from people who often promote CS products. I'm gonna check out more reviews as they come in from people who actually bought them. They are starting to be available on starsmakeuphaven.com as well and I heard that this store isn't going to stock them all because on some the quality is not good.

Agreed, I'm waiting for more reviews too. I have a few sitting in my cart but I'm not 100% convinced that the quality will be there yet.

I just ordered a bunch of pans...I should have just got one to try like the Solar White dupe so they say, but I didn't think of it until after I placed my order

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but there's also a PDF on the CS website that shows their existing palettes and which Hot Pots are already in there.

So if you're really loving a particular colour from the 88 palette that's almost out, and it happens to be sold as a separate pan, this is useful to check out!

I'm debating between the matte and the shimmer versions of the double-stacked palette. Any thoughts?
