This was my first Coastal Scents eyeshadow palette. The Fall Festival Palette is one of the 12-pan hot pot palettes. These 12-pan hot pot palettes are a great deal because typically one "hot pot" (a single color) is $4.49 (before shipping). So typically, you would pay about $60 for a 12-pan palette but these "finished" 12-pan palettes run about $21.95! Of course, the catch is that you end up with colors you may not use. So this Fall Festival Palette comes with the following colors:
In order from left to right, top to bottom row they are: M04, ME03, ME01, ME17, ME09, ME26, S14, S17, S30, ME15, ME23, M23
The colors that begin with an M are MATTE shades, the ones with a ME are METALLIC (high shimmer), and the ones with S are SATIN (some shimmer). You can also purchase hotpots that begin with a B, these are BLUSHES. If you are familiar with the MAC eyeshadows, these pans are the same size and will even "fit" into the Coastal Scents palettes and vice versa. HOWEVER, for Coastal Scents the magnet is in the palette and not in the hotpot pan; Whereas, for MAC the magnet is in the eyeshadow pan and not the palette so although they fit they do not "stick".
Now, onto the review of this palette. Out of all the 12-pan hotpot palettes I chose this one because it had the most variety in colors. If you look at the others, for example Think Pink, they have a lot of the same colors. This Fall Festival Palette has neutrals as well as nice darker tones for smokey eyes. Here are the swatches on my arm (without any primers):
These are high pigmentation eyeshadows and just a little will go a long way. Some of the metallic colors can have a little fall out but its avoidable if you tap off excess shadow before applying. All in all, I really like this product and can create different looks that match almost any outfit. The only colors that are missing are blues but there are some great neutrals!
This is only $21.95 on Coastalscents.com!
