A Comparison Between Costal Scents 88 Original, Ultra Shimmer & Metal Mania Palette

I love Costal Scents Palettes for various reasons and one of the reason is that you get 88 options in one palette.
I was super excited for these palettes when I ordered it and I thought I was going to use it all the time.These palette are awesome!! It's so cheap for all the colors you get but the quality is great!! All the colors are so pigmented and easy to work with !!!

 Original Palette



About the product-

Original 88 Piece Palette contains 88 different highly pigmented shadows. These shadows can be applied with ease using the dual end foam applicators included or multiple eye shadow brushes depending on the look you wish to achieve. The shadows are pressed powder but can be applied wet for a deeper longer lasting effect. The palette contains mainly matte shadows however; some do have a satiny finish. Each dime-sized pot contains plenty of powder for multiple uses.

Pros-
1-You get 88 colors and they don't run out fast!
2-Affordable.

Comparison -

The best part about these palettes is that they are very affordable & offer a wide range of colors. Be it any palette you need to use base for better results especially for the Original palette its a must !

If you like vibrant colors & shimmer then the Ultra shimmer palette is apt for you. The problem is that some of the colors are very shimmery & kind of similar.

I personally love the Metal Mania palette as these colors are so metallic, and I absolutely love it! I found so many great uses and looks that I can create. This palette is definitely my favorite Coastal Scents palette. The colors are well pigmented, blends really well, and doesn’t fade.Out of all the palettes they have, this is by far my favorite.  Whites/ivory's, deep purples, browns, pinks, grays, oranges, copper colors and much more is in this palette.  For $24.95, you get 88 different colored eye-shadows.  They may be small (about dime size) but they will last a long time, especially when they are so many colors than you WILL use.  Most of these colors are just too pretty to pass up.

Overall views-
Overall, I really recommend this product. It's great for starters and VERY affordable. Also there is a wide range of palettes to choose from.
