Coastal Scents Hot Pot Swatches (Part 4)

By: Brunilda on 4:03 PM

Another Black Friday, another hot pot haul (plus some brushes, I might make a post about those once I use them some more)

I think the grand total of my hot pot collection is 177 colors, I've pretty much gotten all the colors that I like with the exception of whatever was sold out while I was ordering.

Alright onto the swatches!

I decided to go for a clear 28 palette this time since I didn't really like the regular 28 palette, the foam lining in that one didn't lie straight and was a little raised in the middle. I also like the fact that you can see the colors in this one and it felt sturdier than the regular 28 palette.

Here you can that it's pretty much the same thickness as my iPhone 5c, so pretty thin!

Nude: A warm beige hue with a slight satiny gold finish. Satin, Sheer.

Flesh Tone: A natural pale, beige hue with a golden shimmer finish. Shimmer, Semi-opaque.

Peach Silver: A creamy peach hue with a silver, shimmery finish. Shimmer, Semi-sheer.

Mauve Frost: An icy pink hue with a ultra shimmer finish. Shimmer, Opaque.

Mauve: A soft, dusty pink with a satiny finish. Satin, Semi-opaque. This felt more like a matte to me.

Spiceberry: A warm, burgundy-red hue with a satin finish. Satin, Semi-opaque.

Cinnamon Stone: A spicy, rustic brown hue with a satin finish. Satin, Semi-opaque.

Bright Copper: Metallic copper hue with a shimmer finish. Shimmer, Opaque.

Canyon Coral: A deep, bronze-coral hue with a satin finish. Satin, Semi-opaque.

Bungalow Gold: A light, golden-tan hue with an ultra shimmer finish. Shimmer, Semi-opaque.

Gold Strike: A metallic, deep gold hue with a shimmer finish. Shimmer, Opaque.

New Penney: A true copper hue with a shimmer finish. Shimmer, Opaque. 

Southern Wood: A rich, shimmering brown hue. Shimmer, Opaque.

Root Beer: A rich brown hue with a smooth, satin finish. Satin, Semi-opaque.

* I realize that I already Cherry Chocolate but that was intentional because I'm already starting to hit pan on my old one.

Burnished Brunette: Opaque, deep brown with a matte finish. Matte, Opaque.

Burnt Umber: Rustic, deep berry hue that delivers a matte finish. Matte, Opaque.

Miami Spice: Sheer tan hue with shimmering blue sparks. Shimmer, Semi-opaque. (Besides the few pieces of glitter this one is actually matte)

Chocolate Berry: Rich brown with maroon undertones and a shimmer finish. Shimmer, Semi-opaque.

Tanzanite: Velvety, deep blue shade with a satin finish. Satin, Opaque. (Go for Rainstorm instead)

Deep Eggplant: Shimmery, dark purple shade with subtle turquoise sparks. Shimmer, Opaque.

Cherry Chocolate: Rich, reddish-brown hue with a shimmer finish. Shimmer, Opaque.

Black Berry: Deep mauve and navy hue with a slight satiny finish. Satin, Opaque.
