Oh boy. Talk about dying and going to eyeshadow heaven! This palette from Coastal Scents has been quite a hit within the online beauty world, and it was only a few weeks ago that I decided to buy it and see what all the fuss is about. And I am so glad I did!
First of all, the price is amazing. You’re getting 88 shadows for about 20 bucks (!!!), so it’s already really afforable and worth the price. Yes, the colors are dime sized (how often do you finish a whole eyeshadow pot, anyway?) and there are a few ‘misses’ and chalky colors… but overall, it’s a really great palette. The lighter, matte shades are hard to show up on the skin so they aren’t too great, but the others are perfect. The colors are really pigmented and bold, and lasts on your lids. (My biggest eyeshadow pet peeve is that it disappears before dessert!)
What’s great about the 88 Color palette is that you have endless color combinations and looks to play with, which is one of the reasons I wanted to buy this palette… I’m gonna start doing some looks here on Beauty Fool! I love makeup but to be honest I haven’t been too experimental – I’ve worn eyeliner since the day I discovered it and my favorite ‘look’ is smokey eyes, which is basically black and very safe. So lookout for some tutorials. 
(If you have any requests, let me know… there’s so many looks, I don’t know where to start!)
In the meantime, there’s not so much to say about this palette except that if you’re into color, experimenting and want something affordable, I would highly recommend this palette, I really adore it!
The lighter colors are quite hard to show up – it’s a tad too chalky for my liking, but I think it does the job if you’re looking for affordable pastel pale colors.
The bold colors are the most impressive. They are incredibly pigmented and when you think of how many pigmented colors you’re getting, this palette is incredible. And of course, the actual palette is fantastic as well. They are too beautiful NOT to have in your dressing table, don’t you think?
Have you tried the 88 Color Palette yet? What did you think of it and what are your favorite colors? I am using the last three columns the most!

Haha yes, it’s a CRAZY amount of eyeshadow.
Firstly, I absolutely ADORE the new header!
Second, I don’t have this eyeshadow palette, but I have a similar one (50 shadows, 10 glosses & 5 blushes, cost me thirty though :/) & I love experimenting with all the colors! And I can’t wait to see what looks you come up with & put up here, very excited for that!!
Thanks Michaela, I’m glad you do ’cause I love it too! I’m finally 99% happy about the new design! One more little tweak and it’s finished!
That palette sounds so good! Who makes it?
I’m excited for looks too! What kinda stuff would you like to see?
I was dying to buy the Coastal Scent’s 88 Warm Palette, but I keep hearing I could get it somewhere cheaper but for the same quality. :O
Still thinking if I should get it or not :]
Really? This is quite cheap though, I think it’s worth the price! Maybe in shops it’s cheaper? I bought mine online.
I gave mine away. I didn’t like the quality of the shadows at all. Very chalky and hard to work with in my opinion.

Sorry it didn’t work for you!
The darker and mid tone colors were really good I think, how did you find them? I agree the lighter colors are really chalky.
$20?! Where can I buy this in Singapore?
Oops, sorry Callie. I meant 20 US bucks. It’s like $30+ here. Still cheap!
You can get it at coastalscents.com. Pretty fast delivery as well!
I’ve been meaning to buy this for a long time, but just never get around to it! I think I want the 88 all matte pallete. I’ve seen picks of looks with it and the colors look amazing!
Oh yes, the matte palette looked great as well!
Let me know what you think of them if you do buy them. It’s really fun to create looks as well and I love the price.
do you think the light-coloured ones will show up better when you use a primer?

Younggorgeous, I actually never thought of that – I am sure it would be much better with a primer! Good thinking!
How do you make a purchase?
Hey, you can order it at http://www.coastalscents.com
I see… Do you need a credit card for that?
Yes, or a paypal account, i ordered mine off BHcosmetics.com. its an amazing website!
I almost bought it because like u said it´s all over internet, everybody has it right?!!
I dont think I did yet because i like small eyeshadows that I can travel with u know?!
But that´s definetly worth the price! 88 eyeshadows!!!It´s eyeshadow for the rest of your life!It´s good to have options!
Love the colours! where did you get the pallet from?
How much would it cost inclusive of shipping to SG and which mode of delivery did you choose?
Hi, you guys can just purchase it from http://www.coastalscents.com .. i’m from singapore and mine just arrived this morning..
via fedex express (6 days to arrive since ordering), which was the cheapest among all the shipping price i saw (around USD25) .. i bought the combo 5 (4 diff types of 88 palettes) and 2 packs of brush guards.. total cost me around USD 104..
ps: the colors of the eye shadows are REALLL sweet..
Thanks for the info, Elna!
Thanks so much!!
I’m been eyeing on this product and my hands are so itching to buy it. Sadly, I haven’t idea which website to buy *SAFELY* from, or any cosmetic shop in SINGAPORE selling this? I feel more comfortable to buy it in the shop rather than online though. Thanks in advance and looks forward for your reply.
