Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

I bought it but I didn't like it. I'm a WOC and most of the colors showed up chalky on me unless I wore UDPP or a Mac PP and a black base to absorb the chalkiness.

I bought the Manly 120 eyeshadow palette on eBay. I like this so much better. There's a good selection of shimmer, frost and matte shadows in beautiful shades that are heavily pigmented. About 5 of the shades are very light and look chalky but I just don't use those.

Including shipping and insurance I paid the same for both palettes. I highly recommend the 120 from eBay especially for WOC.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

I've heard a lot of good things about the Coastal Scents, actually - you're supposed to use a primer underneath any shadows you use, anyway, to prevent creasing and such. Look on ebay for cheaper prices, and you can find TONS of videos of them on youtube.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

I've heard good reviews about the 88 Shimmer Palette. I want to buy one and I almost did 2 weeks ago but instead I'll wait for the right time to buy it.

Re: Coastal Scents. I need advice!

I just picked up the Contouring cheek palette, and let me tell you, the pans are enormous! I can't wait to play with it and try it out. I ordered the Italian Badger Angle brush as well, and since I washed it first I'm waiting for it to dry to give these new goodies a test. If these are as good as they look, I'll definitely be picking up a few more things

Re: Coastal Scents. I need advice!

I'm still debating if I should purchase this palette or not....

Is the shimmer better than the matte one? What were the formula comparisons again?

EDIT: Nevermind...I ordered the matte and neutral palette. I'm too impatient haha! I hope I made the right choices!

Re: Coastal Scents. I need advice!

I love the neutrals palette. I use it quite often for bridal work, and for my own 'real' job day looks! EnKore on does some swatches on YouTube if you wanna have a looksie!

Re: Coastal Scents. I need advice!

I'm a newbie with makeup and the first things that i got was the 88 palette and the blush palette, and im really happy with them. With the 88 palette u have many different colors, and they're very pigmented. I like the blush palette but i just use like 4 of the colors in there because the other colors just don't fit me :X But it does to my mom, so, for me it was a good shopping And best of all, very cheap and the shipping was like...WOW! SO FAST! considering i live in the Caribbean.

U should get them

Re: Coastal Scents. I need advice!

The only thing i have from Costal Scents is the neutral palette.
I don't wear a lot of neutrals but I still love this palette!
Good neutrals really is a must have in a makeup collection and this palette was the perfect choice for me since I didn't wanna spend a lot of money on neutral shadows

The quality of the shadows is not the same as MAC shadows but they are buildable and easy to blend so I'm quite satisfied

Does anyone know where I can get one of these in the UK or somewhere that ships to the UK?

Thanks

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

I'm not a total fan of this. For some reason, I find it very chalky and I get a lot of fallout. :S Maybe I'm just being too rough but that's how I am with my Mac shadows and I don't get such heavy fallout. Or maybe I got a bad palette? lol Not sure what went wrong....the fallout is just VERY annoying!......Still, I don't mind it since there are so many colourful shades.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

I'm an NC 50 and they work on me just fine. I always use a base anyway.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

I use the original 88 palette. The colors show up very well on my skin. The majority of the colors are VERY pigmented over my UDPP base. I only get bad fallout when I beat the shadow if I'm being rough. Overall, I think it was a good buy.

Re: Coastal Scents 88 palette

i think it's a good buy as well. so long as you use a primer, i think you'll get good results. (i'm an nc50 in MAC's studio fix fluid)

Re: 88 Ultra Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette

I absolutely adore it. 5/5!!

Re: 88 Ultra Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette

Can the shadows be replaced once they run out? That is my only "beef" with large palettes.

Re: 88 Ultra Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette

I use it many times in a week. I too was skeptical but its worth it! Make sure you use a base though. But I will be getting th original soon. Its especially good to experiment with color and different looks.
