I already gave a review of this palette on my Youtube channel but I wanted to post a few more pictures and give some more details. Contrary to many, I did not buy this from coastalscents.com, rather on Ebay because frankly, it was cheaper that way.
This palette retails for $21.95 on Coastal Scents, and for around $10 on eBay (both without shipping.) That's less than half the price! With shipping to my country (Switzerland) it came to $22, insurance is optional for $2 and I recommend it.
The palette arrived within 9 days all the way from China, so shipping is super fast.
This palette is mass produced in China, along with all those other "cheapie" palettes sold on Coastal Scents.
Pros:
- very inexpensive so great for those on a budget
- great color variety for neutral shades
- variety of finishes (semi-matte, satin, shimmery)
- comes with highlighters as well as some darker colors and a black
- did I mention how cheap this is yet??
- Not as highly pigmented as high-quality shadows (MAC, Makeup Forever, Ben Nye, etc.)
- lasting power of these eyeshadows is not comparable to high end shadows
nice buy on ebay and great neutral shades.

ReplyDeleteOmg i Like this Pallate:]
ReplyDeleteCan you please post the ebay Link...were you bought this Palatte :D
ReplyDeleteThank You!
swatches would be great, :)
ReplyDeleteNice palette! Thanks for bring it to my attention. I didn't know you were from Switzerland. I was wondering why your voice sounded different. Different in a good way! I like it!
ReplyDeleteI have seen many tutorials on this palette on youtube, the swatches looked fantastic on youtube vids as did some of the looks created by these colours. however once i ordered it myself and tried them, was a little dispointed with the result. they arnt very pigmented at all. however to an extent works well with shadesticcks or paint pots as a base. the palette reminded me of them rubbish makeup gift sets you can buy for little girls to play with...lol..however i would recommend them for begginers.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI live in Norway and would really like to buy this palette. Do you think I should buy it for ebay or coastal scents?
hi this is noreen, i love this pallet i am going to order.
ReplyDeleteHello! I just ordered this palette and was wondering - can you maybe show a picture of the palette with labels of the Mac dupes? Like, which Mac color each of these shadows corresponds to (on the skin, not just how the pots look next to each other cuz that can be tricky)! If you maybe have a chance to do this I'd really appreciate it! :)
ReplyDeletecan you tell me please where can i buy this palette?
