Hey Everyone!
Today I'm going to review The Coastal Scents 88 eye color palette, otherwise known as the Matte Palette. These Palettes have been All the rage on the internet for a couple of years. I, myself had to see what all the hype was about them. For one, there color selection is very broad and pigmented. Another thing that I think everyone is surprised about is how tiny they are. Each color is the size of a dime; but then again- what do you expect for a 17 dollar palette with 88 colors?
The first thing I'd like to talk about is the packaging on this product. It has a nice, sleek black pakaging that is very professional-looking. However: Don't be fooled. I found out this out the hard way that this packaging does not support the products inside. In other words- If you drop this item, You're screwed. I have at least three shadows that have broken from one drop. Another thing is te metal pans that hold the packed eye shadows in (in some palettes) seems to disconnect from the plastic slots. Nothing a dollop of super glue can't fix though, Right?? Another thing is that the button that secures the palette from being open all the time breaks off, but have no fear- you don't need this little "Safety button", because the palette will close just fine without it.
Next I'd like to talk about the pigmentation on this palette. Overall, the pigments in the colors are great. But with the light bright colors, (such as the light pinks, yellows, and greens) have poor pigmentation and staying power. Especially the yellow, which I'm dissapointed about, because I've been needing a yellow color for a long time, and these yellows just don't meet expectations(Making me still on the hunt for a bright yellow. Chrome Yellow by M.A.C anyone??). However, I was researching on the website that these are sold, and they said that these products can be applied wet, and by doing this, it would make the colors "More pigmented and longer-lasting". I have yet to try this, but when I do, I'll make sure to letyou know :)
Overall, I recommend this product to make-up beginners, and even Makeup-Artists. No matter if you're a beginner or a pro, you can never go wrong with the Coastal Scents 88 eye color palette.
