I'm so excited! I finally received my
Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette the day before yesterday! It came in a huge box stuffed with paper and bubble wrap, really well packaged and no damage at all and in less than a month! My postman handed me the box and I squealed! Lol! I think he's wary of me now. -__-
Anyway, on to the palette! I would like to warn you here that this post has a crazy amount of images! Here we go!
 |
| They should really do something about that logo and font. .__. |
The package had the palette, a few business cards, a I ♥ Make up sticker and a sample of mineral eyeshadow, in "Champagne."
 |
| Look at all 'em pretty colours! *u* |
Yes, I swatched all of them! From left to right! I'm skipping the first one though because it barely showed up to be picked up by my camera! You can click on images to enlarge btw!
So, from line 2:
 |
| The golds are really great! |
 |
| The yellow is pretty chalky. :( |
 |
| There are a LOT of blues! |
 |
| See what I mean? :/ |
 |
| I loved ALL the pinks! |
 |
| Lol! I think I have 3 different brands with the colour that is 3rd from last! |
 |
| That last red is so super pigmented! Amazing carmine colour |
 |
| I love the fact that this palette is a mix of shimmer and matte |
 |
| That first silver! SPARKLY! |
And that's it! You can see how crazy red my arm got after swatching them all! LOL!
Anyway, I played around a bit with the shadows today and I did a few looks.. If they're a bit strange, it's because I hadn't planned them in advance, just went with the flow. I'm happy with the first one though!
Note: These photos are not colour corrected, I only removed the stray hairs in my brows and used some blur on the photo edges. I want you guys to see what these colours really look like (with flash btw)! ^u^
Look 1: I like to call it "Arabian Night." :) My fave look so far! I never noticed
how much matte shadows make your skin look smoother as compared to shimmer ones!
Look 2: I call it "Anne Rice's Vampires were Better!" I've never used red eyeshadow before and thought I'd give it a go! Also used the silver here. I love the goth feel of it! The red matches the red in my hair! LOL!
Look 3: I don't have a clever name for this one because it's pretty boring compared to the last two.. It's just pink and gold. Pretty for a wedding. :)
In all, this palette is great! I can see 2-3 chalky shades but when you get 80+ amazing shades, it doesn't matter that much.
Price wise also, this was a good buy, I got it on sale, so with shipping I paid only 1100INR! So if they do have a deal again, I say GO FOR IT!!
That's all I got for now! I'll be doing so many more looks so don't forget to
like/ follow for updates. :) Let me know if I should do a tutorial on any of these looks! Because I really would love too. :3
Now, I must go, my grand mum just reminded me that I'm STILL wearing different eyeshadows on my face. LOL! Gotta go wash that off. :) Comments are welcome!
