My Thoughts on Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette:

Variety of Shades: Whites, duo chrome whites, peaches, oranges, browns, plums, pinks, blues, greens, blacks, greys, golds, bronzes, silvers, etc.  88 is not a small number by any means and I love how various shades of one color are available in this one compact palette. If you take brown, then you get a true brown, you also get a pinkish brown, a reddish brown, light brown, dark brown, golden brown, bronzey brown and so on and so forth. Same applies to every other color you decide to pick up.

What I was pleasantly surprised was by the range and type of whites provided here. Each shade is perfect for highlighting no matter what the look. Even if I am using colors from other palettes, I find myself reaching for this one for the brow and inner corner highlights. Most whites are duo chrome, some have a bluish tinge, some pinkish, some greenish, some have a yellowish tinge, some are matte, and others are shimmery. This following image does not capture their duality perfectly, but I hope it helps in showing that to some extent.

Texture:  Some shades are matte, some are satin, while others are shimmery. As with matte shades usually, you can expect some fall out, but nothing that spoils the experience. There are also some almost glittery shades which look perfect when going for a party look. The colors are smooth and apply very easily. Some are less pigmented than others, but in general has very good pigmentation.

This following image shows the pigmentation when the colors are picked up normally and generously. Beautifully pigmented!

This following image on the other, I hope shows how the colors look when picked up very sparsely.  Even a single light dab with a finger gave enough color as shown. Now, you can see that some are more pigmented than the others.

Blending them is also very smooth and easy.  The following image is to show the fallout some colors may have, even after swatching them for the purpose of this review, I had to brush away the tops to get rid of the “powders.”

Longevity: Even without a primer, these last all day on my eyes on a typical 8-hour work day. My lids are very normal and due to the weather, almost dry.  So, any color stays on well enough, but for oily-skinned ladies, I recommend a primer if you are looking for super long stay.

Palette Features:  The packaging feels very good quality, it is sturdy, it is easy to open but not too easy that it will just pop open when carried around. It is a very good size for travel. It is thin and sleek, will slide in most spaces easily. The black matte case looks very cool. The mirror is decent enough. The applicators provided are of very good quality and I have used them not only to pack on color but also for blending. Thanks to Emily Edmintion, I know that these sponge tip applicators are not a total waste!

CS Warm Palette

At $24.95 (Rs. 1,400), it is absolutely worth every single paise/penny, even if you take shipping into consideration.  I love how versatile the colors offered here are, from gorgeous mattes to satin finishes to shimmery colors. Whether it is getting ready for work or for a fun day out with friends or cousins or a soft party look, all I need is this one palette and I am set!

Cons of Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette:

Nothing especially pertaining to just this palette, sometimes fall out is experienced even with the very highest of ends shades, so I can’t say that and availability only online is more like a pro than a con because I feel at least it is available online, so I don’t want to say that!

    1. 🙂
      if u order just this palette, shipping fees would be $15.88, so i would really recommend ordering more than 1 product for that shipping price.

  1. Hi,

    I never purchased anything from CS, so can you tell me which shipping options to choose for in CS as i get confused always and cant buy anything. So please tell me which option of shipping is best and affordable. On an additional note, i would add, i stay in Kolkata (metro city), so please help me out with the shipping thingie. And if anyone is from Kolkata, can u kindly tell me how long it takes generally for the package to get delivered.

    1. Hi,
      The cheapest option for India would be the “United States Postal Service -First Class Mail International” but then there is no tracking with this, the product would reach India anywhere between 3-4 weeks but I know people who’ve received in within 2 weeks as well. If you want tracking & faster shipping then go for the other pricier options, which would be almost double the cheapest 1.

    1. Me too! till i actually got my hands on them but EmilyNoel of YouTube mentions this product a lot so I knew it would be decent enough but it exceeded my expectations for sure 😀

  2. You order them from coastalscents.com and it takes around a week to 10 days to get delivered 🙂 Right now they have a sale going on so you might want to check it out! And choose shipping mode as USPS – it’s the Indian equivalent of Indian Post so most reliable, though the slowest. The shipping charges depend on the weight of the product you buy and is generally above 10$. The sad part is they accept only Paypal or credit cards.
    But you can try buying these CS palettes from amazon – free shipping. Hope this helps!

  3. i want to coastal scents but i am backing off after seeing the shipping charges..but i ll buy this time (your review made me take this decision )..nice detailed review nafisa..
