Coastal Scents 26 Shadow Blush Combo Palette

BEAUTIFUL❤️❤️❤️ . Arrived the very next day! I used a good primer (smashbox 24 hr shadow insurance) and these babies were vibrant and lasted till the next morning! Cannot tell the difference between MAC, of which im an admitted hoarder and elitist😉 and love these better than all my urban decay. True story. So, in summary, for these to look like, and last longer than, shadows three times the price, 1) prime with a trusted primer ( urban decay also makes a 24hr one, which i use regardless of how long my majeup will be on; its like insurance). 2) for vibrant, true color payoff, use a light or white base like Nyx chubby stick in Milk all over the lid- not too much, just enough to block the batural color of your lid. 3) pack color onto a good brush, dont swipe; just stipple color on and step back; if another coat is needed, for sure, go at it. If not, then do fine tuning onto the crease and what not. 4) setting spray with eyes closed!Youre good to go for 24 hrs if needed!Youre welcome😉Great job, Amazon

Colors were exactly as expected but consistency isn’t the best. Some shades are more pigmented than others & they don’t all blend out as beautifully as some of the others in the pallet. All said, I would purchase it again because the value for the money was more than there & as long as I am willing to work with some colors a little bit more than others, I will get the look that I am going for.

I am nowhere near pleased with this palette. I'm only giving it 3 stars because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the blushes. The eyeshadow pigmentation is not what most of the reviews say; only the blushes are heavily pigmented. It's true, if you are a lighter skin tone becareful with how much blush you use. I'm of a darker complexion (MUFE 175 or Nars "Benares") and one dip provides really good pigmentation, but I dip twice and blend to get more glow against my skin tone. Plus ALL of the blushes can work on ALL skin tones. The eyeshadows are pigmented when swatched on skin, but upon application the color payoff is nowhere near what I expected considering the texture is creamy. I even used a white eyeshadow base and primer and the pigment is STILL disappointing. Also some of the darker colors, like the berry red, leaves a stain on the lids. I am very disappointed as this palette had so much potentialAfter using it only twice I got some minor irration on my eyelids and this NEVER happened to me with other CS eyeshadows or any other brands. Plus it contains parabens which was a another bummer for me. : ( things just keep going downhill for me with this palette. You really do get what you pay for.

Overall, I like this palette. This is my first palette from Coastal Scents and the one that appealed to me the most at first. It's a very wearable neutral palette with pops of color such as purple, peach, and copper, along with your standard browns. The eyeshadows have different finishes--matte and shimmery, which is nice. The blushes are also pretty, although I'm not sure how I would wear the pale pink shade to the very left or the deep plum shade to the very right. The shadows and blushes are fairly pigmented; however, the eyeshadows, especially the brown shades, tend to be somewhat chalky and don't apply as smoothly as I would like. That's the main downside of this palette. But for the variety of warm fall shades you get and a few decent blushes along with it, I would give it 4 stars. Also, shipping was very fast--I received this in less than a week.

I ordered both this and the 88 warm palette recently. I have been experimenting with makeup lately (mid-life crisis, I guess!) and these came highly recommended. First of all, to get the most of these eyeshadows I highly recommend an eyeshadow base. It really makes a world of difference. Also, You Tube has a lot of great reviews and swatches of all of the Coastal Scents products. That said, this is an incredibly beautiful palette! The colors are in the gold/peach/brown/purple family... some with shimmer (NOT sparkle!) and some matte. There are several colors in this that I absolutely adore - My favorite is a shimmery taupe in the right bottom corner that even a 43-year-old can pull off (love, love, love this color for my crease and as a liner for my bottom lid) The blushes are all matte except one (2nd from right) I honestly use this palette every single day. I liked the 88 warm palette as well, but not nearly as much as this one. It(88 warm) does have some greenish and bluish colors that this lacks, as well as silvers and lighter highlight colors, however If I had to pick just one it would definitely be the 26 Color Shadow Blush Combo Palette.

Like many coastal scents fans, this is my second time buying one of their gorgeous palettes. I own the shimmery version 88 shadows and wanted something matt and something that can be used as a highlighter at the same time. This one can def cover everything. Colors are great, and some say it's too small, but honestly girls rarely ever use all of their shadows. I think blushes are also great the lightest color can be used as a powder and others for pretty blush. I love to have many many options for my makeup and this will be my ultimate makeup set! Yet, I take back one star back since the powder sometimes gets into my eyes too much. However, for the money I paid, this is like beyond nice!! Go get one!!!!

Oh my gosh- this palette is amazing. The colors are BEAUTIFUL. I typically only go for the more natural looking colors and all of these are perfect! They are a bit darker in person but not too far off from the picture. I would suggest using eye primer before applying. On some of the very light colors, I dipped my brush just slightly in a drop of water and then used the colors which actually worked out really well. I haven't used the blushes yet (I didn't buy this product based on the blushes) but on one of my days off, I might try one or two of them. This is my first Coastal Scents purchase and will not be my last.When shipment arrived, it was bubble wrapped three times around the product. I was a bit worried that it wasn't enough but I opened it up and nothing inside was damaged.I would recommend this product to someone who likes natural looking colors and wants some shimmer, some matte.

Highly pigmented which is great, you don't need a lot. The colours are beautiful.
