Best Christmas present so far has to be the Coastal Scents Original 88 Palette.

I had watched & read numerous reviews on this palette, as I couldn’t decide whether to opt for the original or the shimmer version. I am so glad @cimota got me the original. It still has quite a few satin colours among the matt, so that more than satisfies my need for a little sheen.

I also knew the pigmentation was supposed to be good, I just wasn’t prepared for how good. In the pictures I am wearing the lightest red and as you can see they is nothing wishy washy about it!. I love bold colours and this palette is an inexpensive way of discovering how far I can take the brights! The actual formula is lovely, not chalky and really easy to blend.

I would highly recommend picking this palette up if you love eyeshadows. you can order it from Coastal Scents here for $21.95 (approx £15.00). Unfortunately at present it is out of stock in the shiny case. Hopefully it will be available again soon.

Shipping is minimal and set to a certain weight limit, so while you’re there I’d recommend picking up  some of their gel liners. Delivery has never taken longer than 7 days from them which is fab!

You can also pick the set up from certain Ebay sellers who will send it on from Japan. However I have heard a few nightmare stories about the palettes arriving broken due to ill packing. I have ordered a number of times from Coastal Scents and everything has always arrived perfect, in bubble wrap, paper and a sturdy box, my vote would be to pay a few extra quid and get it from them.
