Coastal Scents 88 Matte Pallette


I love eye-shadows and I love experimenting with new colours. Although not too bold, more subtle ones, nonetheless, I like playing around with them. I used to buy one from here, and there, it came to a point where I had actually bought too many and had no space for them, or I would lose them.

I had heard about Coastal Scents for a while, but if you were to order from them, you would have to order from their website. You can buy their products online from eBay, but I don't actually trust buying brands from eBay. So I decided to order from their website, which is American, meaning you would most likely have to pay a customs fee when it would arrive to the UK. (which I did, £11 for my order)

I ordered a few things from them. I will talk about those later. But for now, I will give you a review on their 88 Matt Palette which I love. 



It's worth every penny. When you first see the palette, you will be surprised at how small it is. You would think it would be a bit bigger since there are so many colours in there. At least that's what I thought when I first saw it. I opened up the palette and had a look at the colours. They are so tiny. 


As you can see they are a little smaller than a penny. BUT they last long. Not to mention, they stay on your eyelids all day long without creasing, or fading, whether you're wearing an eyeshadow primer or not. Usually a couple of coats is more than enough, which is why they last. I have had this palette a while, and I still haven't gone through all the colours, but I will!! My favourite colour is the orange colour below:


As you can see, I have used that one quite a bit compared to the other colours. Although the palette is matt, this orange and a few others have a bit of shimmer in them. Now I haven't taken any pictures of this colour on me, but I will soon and I will put the pictures up here. I think its a really nice colour whether you only wear this one, or whether you mix it with other ones. I will be buying the 88 Shimmer Palette one day soon, because I am more into shimmery colours than matt ones at the moment. 

If any of you have bought Coastal Scents before from a trusted seller in the UK, please let me know so that I don't need to order from the US and pay another customs fee.
