When it comes to creating a smoky eye, we’ll be the first to admit that it’s easy to feel a little lost. Enter: this foolproof palette from the shadow pros at Coastal Scents. Featuring twenty can’t-go-wrong shades in a variety of textures and colors, this shadow collection comes with blendable hues to craft any smoky look—from subtle and elegant to dark and smoldering.
I got a sample of the smokey palette. That had light grey, silver, purple and violet shades. I to wear a more natural nude look for eyeshadow, not smokey. These are just too dark of colors for me. Also, wish birchbox would actually show you what their sending as apprise to the picture of the full size of the product.
5I recently reviewed this on my YT channel comparing it to the high-end Smoky palette and let me just say, this palette really surprised me. I expected the shadows to be chalky and patchy, maybe a little hard to blend, but some of these are even more pigmented than the original and easier to use. The mattes did have just a tiny bit of trouble blending, but if you are careful and know what you're doing, they are definitely not the worst mattes around. I have many eyeshadow palettes, they're my favorite thing to buy, and this definitely beats out quite a few of my more expensive ones. I'd definitely recommend this to a friend or family member to try out!
4Sample colors were lovely, but full size has too many choices; I am pretty minimalist with eye color, and although I immediately loved the 4 colors in the sample, when I looked up the full size package, it scared me away.
The texture of the powder, and the way it went on were very easy to work with. Any chance you can make the sample size (or maybe as many as 8 colors) available to those of us who are slightly frightened of too many options?
I am in love with the palette! The shadows have great pigment and blend VERY easily. This is a great palette for someone that is looking to get into the smoky eye game. The shadows are as "user friendly" as you can get. A little goes a long way, no caking needed here.
5Considering I normally wear bright bold colors, buying a neutrals palette was a tough buy. However I had some Birchbox points about to expire so I went ahead and bit the bullet.
My biggest regret is not buying a Revealed palette sooner. I've already used it every day that I purchased it. While the eyes hadows aren't quite as buttery as I'm used to but they lasted all day with minimal fallout.
I wish there was one or two more super matte light shades as I'm basically paper white but other than that, this is the perfect palette.
I got this palette for free with reward points, so although the reviews were all over the place, I figured I had nothing to lose. I'm so glad I got it! The shades are highly pigmented and gorgeous. I wore Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer under these, and my eyeshadow lasted over 6 hours (I took it off after 6 hours since I was going to bed). It looked exactly like it did when I first put it on after 6 hours. Win!
5I bought this palette with my points, and I'm really happy that I did. It's really great quality eyeshadow for the price it costs. It's quality is a little lower than the more expensive shadows, but it's still a good quality buy. The shadow lasts me all day, even without a primer. Plus a little bit goes a long way, so I don't feel like I have to pile it on for it to show up. All in all, a good deal.
