Since the coastal scents one is matte it doesn't get scratches and stuff on it as easily just looking at my two right now the one I have here from Ebay is so scratched up already and my CS one is flawless plus my Ebay one has already broken, the little clasp to open and close it is broken off and I did absolutely nothing to it didn't drop it or anything. Next thing (I promise I'm not a weirdo) but I've smelt both the eye shadows out of the Ebay palette and the CS palette honestly the eye shadows in the Ebay palette STINK!! The smell does make you nauseous! but the CS palette doesn't have the same smell as the Ebay one it doesn't smell horrible like you are going to throw up. Fact is both palettes are made with the same ingredients so how can they possibly have different smells if they are made with the same ingredients honestly I don't know? It is a mystery but they do both smell different from each other. CS tolerable, Ebay's Not. So I'm definitely getting rid of the Ebay palette probably in a swap and of course keeping my CS one. If you take those things into factor it IS worth the few extra dollars to get the CS palette instead of Ebay's.

AMEN TO THAT!!!! i thought i was just weird or crazy about the ebay one smelling bad. i didnt even have to bring it close to my nose or anything cuz the smell just smacked me in the face as soon as i opened it! i could have dealt with it if the smell had faded away when i used the shadows but it doesnt! and it actually starts to irritate my eyes after just a few minutes of wear, to the point the point that my lids felt itchy and "heavy" if that makes any sense? I'm deff gonna get rid of this palette as well and im gonna give the CS ones a try!

I am interested in hearing what others think of it. I am sure that the company has passed it along to some of the You Tube Gurus to try out so it will be interesting to hear what they say.

I'm interested in trying it myself! It probably won't be anything like MUFE HD foundation but maybe still a good alternative. Btw does anybody happen to know if CS has a customer service email?? Because I've needed to contact customer service but have only been able to do it through their website message box and that was last week I did it through their website and have not gotten an email back yet??

Ooh. Time to wait and see. It would be nice to not pay as much for HD foundation if its good quality. If not, I don't mind paying $35-$40 for a good one.

I kind of want to get the concealer quads... any one use these by any chance?

In the last few months I have tested so many foundations and Graftobian was the clear winner. Graftobian's HD foundaiton is only $9.00. That's kinda hard to handle when I have paid more than $100 for MUFE foundaitons.

Now you have me curious? It's a creme foundation how well does it work, like coverage and long-ability, ect?

It's a cream foundation that looks like a liquid foundation. I almost past this foundation up because I don't like cream foundations. This foundation will cover my acne scars without a concealer. The only other foundation that will do that is MAC's Minerlize Satinfinish. When used with MUFE HD primer I get around 8 hours of wear. I tested that too here is the link The Glam Shack: Face Primer Roundup - Make Up Forever HD Microperfecting Primer Neutral
This link has color swatches of a lot of the foundation that I have tested.

No worries, give it a couple of days and you'll see a million youtube gurus reviewing it saying it's soooo comparable to MAC

There are already video's out from gurus saying it's just as good as MAC and MUFE and that made me not want to buy it. I think I'm suffering from guru bullshit overload.

Vixxan can I ask you where you have purchased the Graftobian HD foundation? I looked at a few places online but they were much more expensive than the $9 you said you got yours for. TIA!

I know we're all aware that CS and the other sellers of the 88/120/whatever palettes are all getting their stuff from Hong Kong. No harm, no foul.

But this is something REALLY random I just noticed...this girl did a video review of her palettes from bf-beauty.com (the supplier straight from HK), and I noticed that the cover is written in Hangul! That's Korean!

LINK, STOP AT 1:38: YouTube - bf beauty haul

(Romanization is "hejieo," pronounced like "Heh - jee - uh." The characters underneath are too bitty for me to read. :/)

I was thinking these all came straight from Hong Kong, land of industry, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe some companies are getting them from HK, some from Korea? Or maybe Hong Kong companies are outsourcing to Korea...? Maybe it's just some of the empty palettes that are being made in Korea...

I'm sorry, I'm just dead curious where these palettes are actually being made now.

Don't get sucked into the HD marketing gimmick. Putting HD on a label doesn't make it any more special or different from other foundations. It's not like HD means there's a magic ingredient inside that makes it stand out from other foundations on the market.

I would honestly spend money on a reputable and professional brand like Graftobian or Cinema Secrets (that pro MUAs actually use) if I were to buy foundation online, rather than some no-name private label stuff that has a huge mark-up on it most likely.

$17 for some private label foundation that has no reputation to speak of? No thanks.

YouTube - REVIEW: Coastalscents Undercover HD Foundation

If you watched that video she didn't even know what to say. If I have tried a product I know what to say about it. Even if I hated the product I could tell you about without looking up at ceiling and pausing for long periods. When I say guru bullshit overload this is the kind stuff I'm talking about. There are some good reputable gurus on Youtube but this kind of garbage is making them all look bad.

All these girls are like bad commercials, and if people don't want to watch them, they aren't going to watch other gurus either.
