Coastal Scents Winterberry Palette Review
Today I thought I would do a mini review of the Coastal
Scents Winterberry palette that I recently won.
This palette came out in 2010. It has 12 cool shimmery shadows.
The case is hard plastic and very durable with a large mirror on the lid. The case
is actually magnetic and has removable pans so if one was so inclined they
could switch out the current shadow pots for other Coastal Scents Hot Pots, MAC
shadows or Makeupgeek shadows. You get my drift right? It’s reusable.
The shadows themselves are all cool tones with lots of shimmer.
There are lots of pinks and purples. I wouldn’t do a full look with just these
shadows because I find them really shimmery but add a couple to any eye makeup
creation and it would look awesome. These shadows are pigmented as you can see from the swatches below. The purples needed 3 swipes to get the same pigmentation as the rest. But most purples are like that. I really had no problem applying or blending them. My particular favorites are the grey (3-3) and the dark purple (4-4).
Here are the swatches (swatched over bare skin);

I have coveted this particular palette for awhile now. I was waiting for a great sale at Coastal Scents to get it but YAY fate intervened and it is mine! So I blew my money on another palette hehe but that will be for another post.
Do you need this? No. Some of these shades are in the 88 Ultra Shimmer palette.
Should you get it. Sure why not? – just wait for a sale at Coastal Scents. They always have them. Right now it is $12.95 USD.

Thanks Hana! ;D
DeleteGreat review. I almost picked this palette up but I have a hard time wearing pink shadows.
ReplyDeleteI was actually quite surprised at the quality of the shadows. Not to shabby I must say. Just wait for a sale.
Deleteyep I want it :) I love the soft shimmery colours which I think are better suited to summer or spring so the whole 'winterberry' name isn't real appealing! for $12.95 you can't go wrong... I wonder where I can buy this in Australia???
ReplyDeleteMaybe the name Winterberry is because the couloirs are cool tones and cool= winter?just a guess LOL
ReplyDeleteI have been wearing the dark purple for the past 3 days now!
