Coastal Scents has a brand new product: 7 new palettes all inspired by different countries! These “Go Palettes” include 12 eyeshadows that are all associated with the particular country of the palette. Coastal Scents has a great concept here. These palettes are great for travel, and ironically are inspired by travel!

I definitely found some positive elements about this product. First off, I love the packaging. Sometimes when I look at Coastal Scents products, I am disappointed with their packaging. However, these creative palettes are rather original! In addition to the packaging, is it ok to say that I love the low price?? Makeup can be rather expensive, we all know that! It is so refreshing to see such an eye-catching product for such a low price. The palettes are available individually from Coastal Scents for $8.49…so I’d say that’s pretty cheap! These conveniently small palettes are great for travel, and the variety in colors makes it nice for different looks. So if you’re looking for a cheap alternative to mix up your makeup collection these Go Palettes make a great twist!

Now, I know nobody likes to hear the negative elements, but here they are. I do think, for the most part, the colors in each palette are well associated with each country, but there are a few that I thought were a little random. For example, loved loved loved the Paris palette…but didn’t exactly know what to do with the brighter blue! Also, the Nuuk,Greenlandpalette had a few too many neutral colors for me. I didn’t love it. In addition to that, I thought these palettes didn’t have very much variety in colors and finishes within each individual palette. For instance, I thought some palettes had too many matte colors, or even vice versa by having too many frosty/satin shadows. My biggest negative element of these palettes was that they all did not have the same level of pigmentation. I would have loved to swipe my finger over each color and see clearly what the color was…rather than for some of the lighter colors having to rub the brush hard on the color in order to get enough for a swatch. Not all of the colors are bad, some are better than others. I noticed the lack of pigmentation more in the lighter colors for sure. If all the shadows had great pigmentation I would hands down suggest that everyone have a Go Palette of their own!

For your convenience, Makeup Geek chose the 5 palettes we loved the most from the Coastal Scents collection, and they are available in our store now. Like I mentioned earlier, there were two we didn’t care for very much. If you would like to have the complete collection they are available at Coastalscents.com, but we only want the highest quality products for our MUGGIES!
