Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Palettes

Hi everyone! Long time no post but I'm back for the meantime. Like I said in my previous post that I have started working and I love my job! I am a nurse and I was placed in OB/NURSERY at the hospital so that means I get to work with moms and babies all day. It's amazing. My 8-hour shift goes by so quickly and I'm learning so many new things that'll be useful to me when I finally decide to have a child! Anyways, enough about my life. What I have here is Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Palettes. During the Black Friday sale, I went a bit crazy and ordered three palettes. How could I not? They were on sale and Coastal Scents eyeshadows are so buttery and glides on perfectly when swatched. 

So I purchased these three palettes and they are Painted Lady, Joli Colibri, and Fairy Fuchsia. I haven't used them on my eyes but I was so excited to swatch them so if the lighting is a bit off, I apologize but I'd say it's almost accurate! 

Coastal Scents: Fairy Fuchsia, Joli Colibri, and Painted Lady 

When I bought these, I was so hesitant because there are only a few colors that I actually like in each palette. I'm not much of a bright, colorful, pop of color girl, especially on my eyes. I do an occasional shimmer here and there but I have never used blue, purple, and green on my eyes. So during the purchase, it was really impulsive. I was pulled in by the Black Friday sales and I thought what the heck, they were only $4.95 each. If it doesn't work out, they can be given as gifts! 

Fairy Fuchsia

The first palette shown and swatch was Fairy Fuchsia, my initial thought was the name didn't match the palette and these colors looked so dull and that I was going to hate it. I finally swatched it today and my gosh, I think it's my favorite palette and I think I'm going to be using it the most due to the colors being so familiar to me. These colors are all so useable on a daily basis. It is definitely your go-to neutral palette if you decide to purchase it. Also, all the colors swatched smoothly. I love it!

Joli Colibri

Next palette is Joli Colibri and look at those blue! It's so beautiful. And that pink is calling my name. Such a big change for me to have these kinds of colors but I want to expand my eyeshadow palette colors instead of just always having neutral/warm eyeshadows. Also, that black was surprisingly pigmented and not patchy at all. Definitely a must have too!

Painted Lady

Lastly, Painted Lady is the first palette I bought impulsively. I thought why not give it a try since I was purchasing a few brushes for myself. I didn't wanna pay for $4 shipping without making good use of it. Haha! I'm not really in awe of this palette. I mean it's okay? But some of the colors did not apply smoothly, if you see the first, second, tenth, and twelfth shades, they sucked. I had to dig in so much into the palette just to get a decent color and it's still not that good. However for less than $5, still grab one for yourself because the other colors in this palette are stunning.

To end this blog, I did have some issue with Coastal Scents shipping during the Black Friday sale. They usually ship my package within the first 24 hours or even less than that but during their big sale, I waited about 9 days for it to be shipped and an additional 6 days for my package to arrive. They deleted my comments on their instagram when I asked for customer service, I sent an email to them and they replied 4 days later when my problem was already resolved. They ignored many customers and their policy is they will not give you a refund until your package arrives to your door then you have to use your own money to ship it back and that's when they will refund you. Their customer service is awful and whoever's handling their instagram account is just rude. 

Overall thoughts on all the palettes:
