So my first order from Coastal Scents arrived today and I am very happy. I placed my order Friday morning, it shipped Saturday and arrived on Tuesday, that is great turn around time. Shipping was reasonable ($1.56) and all my products arrived in tip top shape. I ordered 4 Hot pots(individual eye shadow) and a 4 plate palette. The payoff is great when used with a primer and a base and the color is long lasting. I was most impressed by my S13 pot which is a shimmery purple with pink undertones, next I like the S06 pot, it is not a dupe (fake out double) of MAC's Plum Dressing, but it is still really pretty and I have worn it almost everyday since it has arrived. S06 is a shimmery rose color that looks really great with nude or champagne colors like wood winked (MAC). My least favorite thus far has been the M13 which is a matte bubblegum pink. It lacks intensity no matter how much you pack on and what type of brush you use. I am going to to attempt tp use it as a blush... we will see how that goes. S20 is a slightly shimmery almost neon purple which I LUV!!! It is intense and looks great in a smokey eye with deep grapes such as Fertile (MAC) or blues like clarity (MAC). Exciting.
Overall I was really satisfied with my colors.
The palette is really cute as well. It has a matte black finish with no logo and the mirror is large enough for application. The pan itself is magnetic and there is a tiny pin well so that you can pop out one pot and replace it, that way you can have your fave 4 colors with you at all times. My only gripe is that it came with a double ended sponge applicator...ugh!!! A nice mini all over shader brush would have been perfect, but that's just me.
So ladies place your orders and start your make up adventure with coastal scents!!!
Until next time...
FYI... I have heard some good and bad things about the multi colored palettes so be cautious... this review was only for the hot pots.

So I have to retract my statement on M13. After using a different brush, a 3/8 Maxine's Mop by Loew Cornell instead of a shader brush by E.L.F- with the white handle, I was able to create intensity by packing on the color a couple of times that looked wonderful!!! Just make sure you are using a higher quality brush with that and a few other colors. The Loew Cornell brush can be found at Michael's, A.C. Moore, and other arts stores ($5-6). I also was able to pack on the color with a large shader brush from FanataSea that can be ordered on line at Amazon.com 2 in a pack for $7.
