Coastal Scents hot pots 'set 1' & Review of Coastalscents.com

Today ill be doing a review and swatches of Coastal Scents hot pots in:
Cloud White (matte), Paris Green (satin), Reef Blue (satin), Thunderous (satin)

As I mentioned in my previous post, I actually received these samplers in my Coastal Scents orders.
Still, I'm not sponsored or paid by the company~ they send the samples out to anyone to let you try out the shadows

First off, I'd like to talk a little bit about the company itself because I personally love Coastal Scents. It is an online website much like Sedona Lace, and BH Cosmetics. They offer free shipping for orders over $50 to the continental US but not to Hawaii or Alaska.
The shipping otherwise is extremely high--I've paid up to $40 for shipping before
That's extremely overpriced in my opinion.
However, the shipping is very fast -- I live in Hawaii and it usually takes about two to three days to come to me! That's very very good if you know how long it usually takes for other companies to ship to Hawaii
As for payment options, there are so many! You can money order, pay with credit card, e-gift card, and PayPal (which is what I typically use).
I've never had a problem with Coastal Scents or their customer service ( if I had a question, they'd always get back to me really quickly ).
Overall, I'd give the website a 4/5 (one point off because the ridiculous shipping cost)

Now, onto the hot pots review ~

I was actually really happy with this set.
I didn't expect to like the seafoam green type colors but I actually really liked it ~

One thing I really admire about Coastal Scents eyeshadows is the pigmentation. It is always really smooth and barely chalky~
I have quite a few palettes from them including all the 88 palettes (warm, color, shimmer, metal mania, mirage, etc)
And the 28 neutral palette
& 252 blockbuster palette
All of the palettes have been awesome and never disappointed me!



Coming soon will be reviews of two other sample hot pot sets! <3
Keep an eye out for them

Xoxo, Jammie

Here are swatches of Set 1:
The lighting is a bit yellow since I do these at night. The Paris green is actually deeper in person~
