So i know i am using this blog after so long but school has basically taken my life away. Anywhoo i am going to get right into the topic.
Coastal Scents is an online makeup company that is well-known in North America due to their publicity. You are able to find numerous hauls, tutorials, reviews on Youbtube about this product. I bought my first ever product from CS one year ago. I had bought the 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette and it retails for $19.95 USD i believe and since i live in Canada it's a little more for me.
Pros:
- dirt cheap for the number of eyeshadows
- wide array of colours to choose from
- ideal for a night out
-easy to apply
Con:
- more shimmer than colour (maybe the original 88 palette would have given me more colour)
- a lot of fall out that is hard to get off
Now i can't complain about this product because for the price we are getting a decent product. MAC eyeshadows are so expensive and you get 88 shadows for 20 bucks!!! I am in no way comparing this product to MAC in terms of quality because MAC eyeshadows hands down is AMAZING quality and it can't compare. For a starter makeup junkie like myself this was a great start up palette, it gives you an opportunity to test different colours. I was a little disappointed that i got more shimmer than colour until i discovered a trick. I use a white eyeliner pencil all over my eye lid after i applied a primer and i found that the colours pick up more with a white base. The colours look more vibrant and I am getting better results. Now i use this palette more than before and I am quite satisfied with it.

My second product from Coastal Scents was the newer product. It was the Fall Festive Palette. There are 12 eyeshadows and retails for $21.95USD. As soon as i saw this palette on the website i fell in love with the colours!!!! I just knew i HAD to get it but i waited and I am glad I did. Coastal Scents was having a Black Friday Sale and I was able to get this palette for 14 bucks!!!! Isn't that crazy??? I got this palette over Christmas Break and I was very happy with the product.
Pros:
- Amazing fall colours
- Very good pigmentation
- Vibrant even without a primer or base
- Bigger pots than the 88 Shimmer
Cons:
- Some fall out
I really have no complains about this product, this product definitely wooed me and I would recommend this product to everyone. Coastal Scents did an amazing job improving their products. They have so many new products coming out everyday and I am going to try out more of their products.
