I ordered the double stack/shimmer palette that includes the blushes. It's pretty good. The texture of the shadows reminds me of NYX shadows.....kind of creamy.
The blushes are pretty, there's a nice bronzer and a coral one that I use quite often.

Considering that each brush costs a few dollars, it would be hard for them to not be worth it.
I'm very happy with my brushes. I've ordered a few different ones and so far they've all been put to use.
Many of the brushes that CS sells are Crown brushes, so you can check out that thread for more reviews. There is also a separate CS thread about the brushes.

I haven't read all of this thread so this may be redundant, but I just bought some of their brushes.
I really like the angled badger blush brush and the small shader as well as the crease brush. The one that compares to the 217 is too big in my opinion, but still a nice brush. I didn't buy the liner brushes as they didn't look pointy enough and I find you have to have a nice point and enough stiffness to make those work well.
I bought an eyeshadow loose pigment pot. The color is beautiful but I had to wet it to get the real payoff. Once I got it on, it stayed on beautifully all day.

Keep an eye out for it on ebay. I got mine for BIN $3.75 plus $9.90 shipping (to Europe).

She said there wasn't any need to send it back but they'll send the blush palette that i wanted. I just find it weird because wouldn't they lose money for it? |

I just posted this in another thread as an example of palettes used without dividers, and I remembered you asked about the Hot Pots.

Coastal Scents gel liners
Just wanting to share a tip. I have been using these cheap gel liners, and I very impressed with the staying power.
But for the longest time, I've been searching for a light grey base for my grey, blue and black shadows.
I've mixed it myself now.
I took the plain white gel liner, and added a tiny little bit of the black, mixed them well, and now I have the most perfect grey base - it's amost like my own selfmade paintpot.
So if you have purchased some of these liners, just get started, and you can mix a whole lot of different colours. They are great eyeshadow bases.
Enjoy

First of all: Ow.. My eyes! That brand has a horrible site.
Second, it looks like the same exact thing, just with the colors in a different order, to me.

Re: Coastal Scents gel liners
Cool idea! Maybe this can be my excuse to get colors like Sexy Pink.
(Edit: this was my response to the gel liner as base idea, when it was in a separate thread)

OK, PLEASE do not laugh at me. I haven't used ebay in awhile, and got frustrated when I did - I'm the type that wants to buy something when I want it, and not have to 'compete' to get it.
When you say that you've found the CS palettes on ebay, are they auction products, or do people actually sell stuff at a 'normal, everyday' price?
Again, forgive the naivete.......
And thank you!

There are auctions as well, but there are plenty of Buy It Now-listings, so you don't have to go trough the whole bidding process.
