Just be careful... Coastal Scents is SOOO addictive. I love my palette (I have the original, not the shimmer), and two gel liners, zip-up brush case, sifter jars for pigments, the empty MAC-sized e/s palettes and MANY brushes. The brushes are absolutely amazing. My favorite is the taklon crease brush... It's just... it's amazing. And the synthetic buffer brush is AMAZING for mineral foundation... And my italian badger blush brush... Man I could go on for days! LOL And you better believe I have 50 bucks worth of stuff in my account's wishlist as we speak

You will NOT be disappointed. As some others said, it's great for those unusual, inbetween colors that you don't own. The color payoff is great. I would suggest you use a thin layer of base underneath - I usually but a light dusting of brule or Naked Pigment on before applying the shadows.

Just a few! They're buildable though. I'm nw15/20, more on the 15 side!

[spacegirl2007]

my only complaint about the neutral pallette is that the packaging is crap. other than that i love it.

I really like the 88 shimmer palette, and the italian badger brushes are amazing quality!! =]

where can i get the ben nye blush pallete i saw it once and once i had the money for it i couldnt find it!!

[AmandDUR]

the only thing i dont have is the neutral palette (not a neturals gal). the 88 palette is great. i prefer the orginal over the shimmer.

the blush palette is AMAZING. its a crazy good deal and the colors are SO much prettier than they are online. im going to be getting another one of these for me, and one for my mom as a gift.

[i_love_mac]

I have brushes from coastal scents and I have the 88 shimmer palette and the 10 blush palette and I think its a great quality for the prices you pay. If you are a newbie at makeup and dont want to dish out hella money for mac start with coastal scents. I have the gel liner in black and its ok, I have oily lids and it creases! I like mac fluidline better. the synthetic mini brush set is awesome so soft! I have the stippling brush its ok doesnt work that well.

Hi Guys

I am thinking of buying this palette. Have any of you purchased this? Are do you have any idea how these would show up on WOCs?

Thanks

** Please move to the Beauty of Color**

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.

[AimeeL]

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.

[marciagordon189]

I have the shimmer, original, and neutral palette. Love them all. I'm an NC50....Great buy if you ask me.

[GlamQueen21]

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.

[cmonster]

i've seen a lot of people that were woc using this palette and the colours looked fabulous. just make sure you use some sort of base first

[sharkbytes]

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

[ladyJ]

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!

[TIERAsta]

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!

[LilyD0m]

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 :P And best of all, very cheap and the shipping was like...WOW! SO FAST! considering i live in the Caribbean.

U should get them

[Zoffe]

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

[happy1234]

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

Thanks

The palette is from Coastal Scents, coastalscents.com - they ship all over the world

[AliVix1]

i cant find the 12 preselected la femme blush kit... anyone have a link??

[zerin]

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.

[NubianHoneii]

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