Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette Review

Hey guys, hope you've had a lovely week! So yeah, I'll be reviewing the 88 Palette, I've had it for a few weeks so I have a firm opinion on it, it may change in the future though!
                                                                                   

This is the palette when its closed, its flat but shows fingerprints very easily.











 These are all 88 colours ranging from whites,blues,greens,pinks and browns every colour in the spectrum is included so no matter what look your planning the colour you need is in this palette!









The first free columns consist of white,peaches,browns and greens.
I use the white and the 3 colours underneath as highlight shades but sometimes for a smoky eye I'll use the white. I've never really used the greens or yellows from swatches they are very pigmented and show easily.






The three columns after consist of blues. Nearly every shade of blue is here from dark to pale.
Some shades have very small shimmer but for the most part its matte. I sometimes use the blue as a liner to give the eye a pop of colour.








  
 The rest of the shadows are pinks, browns, silvers and a black. It's odd to only have one black shadow but as you can see there are multiple browns to do any nude eye you want. My favourite is the brown above the black which I put in the crease to add definition. The silvers in the palette are shimmery so give contrast in a smokey eye between a black and white.
 The palette comes with 2 double sided sponge applicators I use these to deposit colour and they do it very well. If to say you were using a black and used a lighter colour on the same colour none of the black would come off on the lighter shadow.


This is the mirror, its big which I like instead of those dinky ones you get when you cant just about see your eye. I keep the mirror clean by putting on the plastic cover that goes on top of the shadows.









The shadows are great they have amazing colour pay off with a primer, the sponge tip applicators are good and the mirror is brilliant. I have no faults for this palette because they've covered everything that a make-up beginner needs. I give this Palette 4.5/5 stars.
