I finally got it..(Coastal Scents 88 Pallette)

After watching what seems to be hundreds of Youtube make-up videos, almost all the Guru's I'm subscribed to on Youtube have had tutorials with the Coastal Scents 88 palette. I'm a newbie to make-up this year. I kept my focus on hair 100% in the past and never even gave make-up a chance. Now that my hair is getting better and is on the right track, I want to move on to the next big thing, and for me that's make-up! I want to perfect my make-up skills, but I needed something very affordable to help me practice my skills. After years and months of saying that I'm gonna order the Coastal Scents palette, (I'm a BIG procrastinator), I finally made a decision to get it. I ordered it from Amazon (it's cheaper than ordering on the Coastal Scents site). And Amazon is really good at delivering things in a quick and timely manner. I ordered on Tuesday, and got it on Friday. I found the box sitting in front of my door after school, (I hate UPS for just dropping things in front of your door! They could at least make you sign something to make sure you get it! Ugh!). Anyways, the palette came to my house safe and sound. No broken shadows, nice and neatly wrapped in bubble wrap. I got the original matte palette to practice with different colors and see what fits me. It cost $18.00, but with shipping and tax I paid only $23.93. My birthday is coming up in 2 weeks so I hope i can come up with a nice look to wear when I go out. I was expecting the case to be much bigger, but it's kind of small which is good because it'll be easy to store in my small room. And the shadow size really is dime sized. But there are so much colors in there, you'll probably never be finished! I tried to do a look last night, but got overwhelmed with all the colors. The colors are super pigmented, but seem like they'll come out better with a base underneath. I am in no way a Make-up Expert, but I do believe the colors can be compared to MAC. If you're new to make-up and want to experiment with eye shadows, then Coastal Scents is the #1 palette to try out. It's very affordable with super pigmented colors!
