Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette- Review,Photos


Coastal Scents 28 Neutral Palette
Result: I discovered Coastal Scents a few years ago, while googling about eye makeup and I was really impressed with their makeup line, especially the eye shadows. The only problem was that I did not have a credit card to place an order, secondly, I've heard a lot about their hefty shipping prices that can really burn a whole in your pocket, so I backed out. 

About a few weeks ago, i had two of their palettes in hand, thanks to Sarah from "Le Désir", who made it possible. In a few words, I'll say i like this palette a lot. When Coastal Scents say neutral, they've made sure it falls in the category. Let's jump into the details.

The palette comes in a stiff card box and a nice plain kit that looks like a net book. I've heard complains of it's opening clip, but if you try from the side, it opens up easily. It's light weight and the overall look is very professional. The quality is great and the shades are not very powdery. You can just dab a brush to pick a decent amount and apply. There are a total of 28 shades in different formulations like matte, glitter and shimmer. The content is packed in 50 paisa coin size pans. The texture is nice and smooth but you should know some of the colors are very light. Well, that's why it's neutral you see. This palette is for people who like to keep their makeup as natural as possible. But if you use a primer, you'll get to see more color. They stay on for a good amount of time and do not smudge or fade away. Great for oily skin. It has a variety of browns and beige's and some natural pinks. If you like a neutral smokey eye, this palette is all you need, as it contains all the shades required for the look. I believe some of the browns can also be used for contouring and the baby pink will make a lovely blush. 

You'd also be happy to know, that all of the shades that come in this palette are Mac dupes, which means it saves you thousands on your Mac makeup investment. Take a look below to see what Mac shades are inside. The kit has 45 grams of content.

The drawback is the mirrorless lid, no applicators and limited availability.

If you're a busy professional, this palette is perfect for your office looks, formal lunch or meetings. It's a fine quality product with an affordable price tag. Highly recommended.
