Coastal Scents Discussion - palettes, pigments, micas, etc.

I got the original and it ROOOOOOOOCKS. I would start w/ the original b/c it has some mattes and some shimmers. If you have all shimmers your eyes will look a little too sparkly. They are fantastic. Incredibly pigmented and a great texture. You will be very pleased.

You can get it at coastalscents.com

[mizuki~]

Does anybody have both the 88 palettes AND the 120 palette? I have the 120 and I'm not sure if I want to get both of the 88 palettes..(but I probably will end up getting them....)

[Lamzy]

You can also get them from eBay, just type in "88 palette". I haven't tried them yet but I have heard really good reviews from youtubers.

[Susanne]

I can really recommend it!

[LilyD0m]

Hey guys! Yesterday i was buying my 88 palette on coastal scents and some brushes, and i didn't notice 'till today that they also sells Lip Glazes...i was looking at the colors and they're really pretty. So my question is: has anyone of u tried them before?? are they nice? not? And if u haven't, well, which lip glazzes do u recomend?

Kisses!

[ashleyisawesome]

Okay, so I was just introduced to Coastal Scents and I already have a million things I want to buy, but for now:

88 Piece Eyeshadow Palette
28 Piece Neutral Eyeshadow Palette
10 Piece Professional Blush Palette

Do any of you own these? What do I need more? I'll probably eventually get all three, but it probably isn't the best to do it all at once considering I have no job and I've already spent 60$ this month on MAC (and that probably won't be all I'll spend) lol.

I've read a lot on the 88 piece, but not so much on the neutral palette and the blushes. Reviews on these would be appreciated. Also, Would you recommend the regular 88 palette or the shimmer palette. I'm torn. lol.

Anddd, what's the best primer to go with these eyeshadows?

Thanks so much you guys, in advance.

[chirufus]

I have the 88 piece eyeshadow pallet and I'm happy with it. I use it not that often. But if you just starting it's a good choice. There are shimmery and mat es on the pallet. I mostly use it is I want to try a color that I don't have from MAC.

I use mac prep+prime es base in the color medium

[ashleyisawesome]

I actually wanted the 88 palette to just sort of play with colors, and have all of those colors available, then I'd eventually try to match the colors I like most with actual MAC shadows. I kind of wanted to start sort of a kit, which is why I really want the neutral and blush palettes. I've never had a neutral palette before, so it'd be fun to have those colors available and also, to have the blushes since there's pretty much a blush for everyone in that palette. Decisions!

[ExquizitDiva]

I have all 3... start with the 88 palette, then get the blush, then the neutral.

[MissChievous]

If you want an inexpensive blush palette, I'd get the one from Ben Nye or La Femme anyday over the generic ones from Coastal Scents.

[vocaltest]

I only have the neutral palette. I keep meaning to get the 88 palette & now the contouring & blush palette are on my wishlist! I love my neutral palette, but some colours really don't show up, well on me anyway. I always use UDPP & Painterly paint pot underneath them.

[ashleyisawesome]

Thanks you guys. Now I'm torn. I just was introduced to La Femme, and now I see that they have the create your own palette thing on makeupmania.com. Have you guys done this? Now if I decide to do this, I'll need to figure out which colors I'll want. Man... lol.

Were there a lot that didn't show up or just a few? It looks like we may have a similar skin tone. I'm NW 20.

[myystiqueen]

okay... so you're SOOOO like me.... lol

i have been eye-ing CS palette (and i mean... all of the palettes) and been checking their site every once in a while in case they have sale going on...

but i still can't make up myy mind which i should get first.... either 88, neutral, blush or contour...

i'm not so much of an eyeshadow-girl... i tend to go for neutral look.... but well uhm.... do i really need TWENTY-EIGHT neutral colors?? i mean... instead of going the neutral palette,, why don't i just go with the 88 which also has some neutral colors.... but still... i can't decide which i should get.....

i'll have to decide soon about which i should get cause i promise myyself to hit 'checkout' in less than 3 hours... lol...

sorry can't be much of a help... because basically we're on the same boat.. ^^

[ashleyisawesome]

^LMAO! My cart has been full of stuff since about 8pm, ready to checkout, but I keep going back and adding/deleting stuff. lol. I'm getting a few brushes too. I've basically been watching youtube video after youtube video for reviews. I think I'm going to start with the 88 palette (normal) and then get neutral later. I wanted some neutral colors to do friend's makeup and everyday looks. I really am trying to convince myself into getting both palettes. Ahhh. What to do?! lol

[myystiqueen]

^^ hahaha

same here..... i think i'm going to go with the neutral though... i'm also getting the gel liners and some brushes as well.... ^^ wish they'll all arrive safely... i'm checking out in a few minutes.... GOOD LUCK....! lol

[mizzTruLe]

hey ashleyisawesome, i saw that you were looking into getting the la femme blush palette..let me tell you, YOU HAVE TO GET IT!! I have it and i love it so much! I dont have the coastal scents ones but ive heard that some of the colors arent that great you'd prob like 2 or 3 out of that palette. But the la femme one, i like 12 out of the 12 blushes in the palette. You can buy them from camera ready cosmetic's website. they're like 40 bucks i believe. hope that helps

[banjobama]

I have the CS 88 palette and the 88 shimmer palette and I love them both. They are good for weird colors that you kind of randomly need like yellow or blue (those are colors I'd personally never buy). On the website it looks like a lot of the colors in the neutral palette look the same and when you get the 88 palette a lot of it IS neutral anyway.

[ashleyisawesome]

Thanks to all of you! Okay, I guess for now I'm going to order the 88 normal palette and some brushes. Maybe I'll buy the shimmer later. And if you guys have any more advice on the La Femme blush palettes, pleassee let me know. Also, color recommendations? I'm NW20, but I'm wanting to be able to have a variety to use on others, so what are the prettiest, most usable colors?

[MissChievous]

There's a pre-selected 12 palette from Le Femme...I've seen it on Youtube as well. I think you can buy from makeupmania.com or adiscountbeauty.com

[thedrinkgirl]

Here's my 2 cents - the CS 88 palettes are great - I've got both and sell them to the girls at work. I've also got the neutral one and have sold lots of those too to the girls that are afraid of all the colors. The brushes are incredible and yes, I have the contour set as well as the blush set and I'm not too into the countour one but the blushes are good for the price. I would recommend the angled taklon brush and try their gel liners. They are incredible (Thanks TDOLL) and super affordable. Hope this helps and enjoy your palettes!!!!!

Yeah, I'm getting that brush, and I have my eyes set on the gel liners. I want so much. It's so great to find affordable makeup that's actually decent quality. These are the brushes I'm getting:

Italian Badger Round Crease Brush
Black on Black Taklon Angle Liner
Pink Oval Synthetic Concealer Brush
Italian Badger Chisel Powder Brush
Flat Mineral Bronzer Buffer Large

I've read reviews on these, and I can get past any animal smell or whatever they may have as long as they work well. lol.

oh wow.... i also got the round crease and b/b taklon angled too.... lol

btw... myy last order just came yesterday and i'm so happy i got the Pink Deluxe Oval Fluff Shadow Brush... it's the same as the Black Deluxe Shadow (not sure about the name).... so incredibly dense, soft... packs lots of color... it's so big though.. so i'm using it for either highlighting or applying wash color... ^^

their pink stippling brush is FARRRR from being comparable to MAC #187... too flimsy... but i must say, it's even softer than 187.. it's just,, not so good for liquid foundation..

[ashleyisawesome]

I just ordered mine last night. This is all that I got:

88 Piece Makeup Palette
Italian Badger Round Crease Brush
Black on Black Taklon Angle Liner
Pink Oval Synthetic Concealer Brush
Italian Badger Chisel Powder Brush
Flat Mineral Bronzer Buffer Large
3 Sifter Jars 10 gram with Sifter Seals
Sage Blue Mica Powder Sample
Bordeaux Glitter Mica Powder Sample
Cactus Sun Sample
