Coastal Scents 88 Matte Palette***

I was never a fan of eyeshadows, nor was i fond of putting on or collecting eye make-up. But when i saw this thing on ebay, everything changed! I started watching tutorials and lessons on youtube about eye make-up. So for this post, i present you, my Coastal Scents 88 Matte Palette!

Coastal Scents 88 Matte Palette

According to a lot of reviews on blogs and on youtube, this palette is a superstar and a hot must-have in every make-up addict's stash. Without a doubt i searched for this item on ebay and found a lot. I instanly fell inlove with this and bought it from a friend who sells this on ebay.
I've been expecting this package to arrive by Wednesday hanging on the reason that i paid the item just last Monday, but to my disappointment it came yesterday morning (saturday). Happy day it was for me while I was eating my breakfast then when my house helper yelled that someone was looking for me, i did not rushed, instead, i calmly walk the isle of our house like a cat-walk model not knowing what arrived. And so to my surprise it was what i expected to come since wednesday. My new Coastal Scents 88 Matte Palette! I wildly ripped the plastic cover off to unveil the package, and yes it was real!

Likes:
  • colors are highly pigmented and intense
  • very affordable for an 88 color palette
  • eyeshadows are matte (almost all)
  • looked vibrant even without a primer
  • packaging is very nice
  • has a mirror attached on the case
  • has two sponge applicators (i'll show you later how to use them)
  • totally inexpensive
  • does not have that wierd make-up scent
Dislikes:
  • not all are matte (9 colors are shimmer, ithink. Ü)
  • available only through ebay and other online shopping stores
Although not all are matte in this palette, its not really a big deal, for me its even a bonus for getting this palette and a sample for the next palette that you maybe wanna have (the 88 Shimmer Palettes i meant. Ü). You can use the two sponge applicators for highlighting the browbone and the tearducts for that glowing and attractive appearance. Ü
Don't get me wrong but this palette is not that big as you expect. I think each color is like a five-centavo coin in size. But again, its not a downside because the colors in this palette are supper pigmented and intense that with one swish of an eyueshadow brush the color will show! And do avoid dropping this product as the eyeshadows will tend to break easily. So go and get one for yourself, i promise, you won't regret having this! Ü

Total Damage: P1,000.00 (not that bad for an 88 color palette)
