It's available from here: 88 Warm Palette and is currently $24.95.
Each pan is around 15mm in diameter, just a little smaller than a 5p piece. There's a good mix of shimmers and mattes in here with a few shades having quite a metallic finish or a duo chrome. I wouldn't say all these shades were warm though. There are definitely cool toned shades in here. I'd say it was more of a neutral palette than a strictly warm one. On the whole, the warm shades do outnumber the cool toned ones. Shades range from deep browns to pale cream highlights.
The texture of the pans reminds me somewhat of the 120 palette eye shadows. However, the 88 pan eye shadows don't seem to be quite as crumbly as the 120 palette eye shadows. I don't own any of the other 88 palettes so I can't compare the textures of those. As usual, the matte shadows aren't as crumbly as the shimmers. The metallic shades are very smooth and show up with fantastic pigmentation.
These are just random swatches just to show the range of finishes. The mattes are quite pigmented and only end up being chalky if you add a large amount. I've used the deep brown shades as crease colours and they blend out wonderfully. A light application of those is all that's needed and there is no chalkiness in that case.
I've done a couple of eyes just to show you the range of looks you can create. Everything from soft, subtle for every day to smokey and dramatic.
I didn't find too much creasing with a base, but we're currently going through a hot and humid summer and I'm getting some fading and creasing with anything I put on my eyes right now!
This palette is a definite winner, and I'm finding I reach for it much more than I was expecting.
Do you have any of the 88 palettes from Coastal Scents? How are you liking them?
Hmmmmm... I'm VERY tempted by this! I've never bought from coastal scents but this could change that!
ReplyDeleteI like the looks you did with it as well :)
I'm with you Glittermillie, I'm really tempted too! I love the look of the new brush collections they have too, especially the ones in the reptile case, I'm not sure what to expect from the brushes though.
ReplyDelete@Glittermillie - It's worth getting! It's going to be a really useful palette.
ReplyDelete@Onyx - Funny you should say that about the brushes! I'll be doing a video about them later tonight, and I've got an extra set to give away! So check back on my youtube channel :)
I was going to use my self-control and not buy this, because I already own the 28 neutral palette, but now I think I might just need this one as well. Thanks for the review!

I have this palette too and it's great to have something where you don't have to mix new shades and there's always something new to try!
ReplyDeleteThese palettes are a great idea - I am always more atracted to the briight colourful ones though lol!
ReplyDeleteI've totally just entered the competition! My username on YT is flonyxx. What a great giveaway! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm quite tempted to buy this as I've discovered these shades work well on me. I've seen you use Coastal Scents products on YouTube and was impressed with the results. I've got the 120 colour palette and I have to be honest, I don't like it that much. Saying that I'm probably without the right brushes. Who knows lol?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you did a review on this. I was really wanting this palette. I look forward to seeing more videos on this one if you do make anymore! Especially with that purplish/raisin color (third row from the right on the bottom).
ReplyDeleteHi, i have most of the coastal scents palettes, the 88 shimmer and matte are beautiful ( though you can buy them on ebay to save quite a bit of money, and they are the same) i would reccommend them cos the colours are beautiful and really pigmented smooth and adhere well.
ReplyDeleteHello! I was wringing my hands to buy the 88 shimmer palatte (I was waiting for it to go on sale in their Friday Newsletter) and I have to say that I love the texture and all of the colors are amazing to work with.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask though, does it hurt anyone else's eyes? It seems that whenever I use the eyeshadow, my eyes are slightly stinging all day. When I was my makeup off at night, it gets a little worse. Keep in mind, I said "slightly." its not making them red or itchy or anything drastic.
I read somewhere that they get the makeup in China, where there are no standards on lead content or anything else for that matter. Any comments/suggestions?
how much did it all together cost to get them shipped to the uk. I am really intressted in getting the warm palette but i am also thinking about byeing it from ebay.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to do and also would like to know about the quality from ebay. Let me know if you know anything!!!!
I have both the 88 matte and 88 shimmer from CS. I'm planning to buy the 88 warm next month, because so far, the quality of the shadows in these palettes has really impressed me. If you love color, I highly recommend the 88 matte and 88 shimmer palettes!
ReplyDeleteWhat colors did you use for the picture to the right??? Its like the pinkish color. I've been trying to figure out how to get this color! HELp!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't remember which I used. This was posted nearly 3 years ago and my memory isn't quite that good :)
