Coastal Scents’ 88 Palette Review

A couple months ago, I saw this online and thought….no way. No freaking way. This is too good to be true. HAS to be fake, or really crappy quality. But Michelle Phan (www.youtube/user/MichellePhan) used it and I loved her tutorials, so I caved and bought it. When it came it, I used it right away. I was SOOOOOO wrong before.

BEST INVESTMENT EVER. I love it. I love love love it. Most of the colors are absolutely fantastic and highly pigmented. A couple are light and need to be used a couple times so they show up better, but you get 88 colors so whatever. The palette contains 88 small pots of shadow, but they last so long because you use so little at a time! I’ve had mine for 2 months now and it hardly looks like I’ve put a dent in mine (and trust me, I used this baby constantly). I’ve done so many looks with this palette, and I want more palettes as a result. You can call me crazy because I already have over 88 eyeshadows, but ohhh I love them and am addicted.

Sidenote: This entire palette is only about $18!! That’s pretty cheap for all that eyeshadow. But if that’s too expensive, you can purchase the SAME exact palette on eBay for way cheaper. I know of a few users who sell them for less than a dollar. Of course, you’ll probably pay around $13-15 for shipping, but altogether it’s less than $18+S&H from Coastal Scents. If you see a 120-shadow palette on eBay under the company names Manly or BH, they’re all the same product.

Here are some looks I’ve done with my palette.

  hey, girl! I know this is unrelated, but would you be willing to do a post about the best moisturizers to use on your face? I specifically need one for super-dry skin that won’t make it more oily. any suggestions?
