Few things excite us more than getting a shiny new shadow palette. The only downsides? Not knowing the best way to coordinate shades, and not being able to fit our favorite hues in our clutch. The pros at Coastal Scents fixed these conundrums with these handy mini-palettes. Designed with specific scenarios in mind, these exquisite color collections feature perfectly complementary shades in purse-friendly sizes. The socialEYES palette comes with beautiful, deep neutrals for everyday looks, the formalEYES palette offers lovely nudes and rosy pinks for a big night out, and the glamourEYES collection boasts gorgeous, bold colors for special occasions (or any time you crave a little va-va-voom). Bonus: Each comes with a mirror for on-the-go touch ups.
I received two shades in a sampler, from the "formal Eyes" palette. My two colors (I don't believe they have specific names - none that I can find anyway) seem to be a peachy flesh color, and a bronzy looking color. The peachy flesh color goes on as you would expect it to look. The bronzy color goes on lighter than you would expect. The shadows in general are very smooth and silky and feel nice to apply. I did not notice any creasing so far. I would consider buying this brand, just not this particular palette. I love the cute little cardboard packaging too!
3The coastal scents shadows are pretty nice... I have a ton of shadow including the Revealed palettes (2 and 3) and while I like them, their product isn't quite as pigmented and blendable as some of the other brands I have. I feel like the sample was really small especially in comparison to some other samples BirchBox has had in the past for eyeshadows.
