Coastal Scents Hot Pots: New Haul and Swatches (Part 3)

By: Brunilda on 11:51 AM

You know me, I can't resist a good Coastal Scents sale, especially their 99 cent hot pot sale. Here's my most recent haul of their amazing eyeshadows!

(the palettes weren't on sale so I'm going to wait until their next site wide 50% sale to buy them)

(Like always I do at least 2 passes when swatching in order to get it close to the color in the pan, generally a few of the mattes need a few more passes)

Lemon Chiffon: Satin, Sheer

Honey Bee: Satin, Semi-Opaque

Caramel Ice: Shimmer, Semi-Opaque

Bittersweet Orange: Satin, Opaque

Dark Goldenrod: Shimmer, Semi-Opaque

Blushes L to R: Royal and Beautiful

Pale Green Tea: Satin, Semi-Opaque

New Terrain: Matte, Semi-Opaque

Brownstone: Matte, Opaque (a lot of people on the site said they were using this as a color for their brows, I'm excited it try that out since most browns I use are too red toned for my brows)

Last but not least, some of the beautiful metallic shades! Seriously you can never go wrong with their metallic hot pots.

 Copper Glaze: Shimmer, Opaque
Light Bronze: Shimmer, Opaque
Deep Merlot: Shimmer, Opaque
Aluminium Taupe: Shimmer, Semi-Opaque

With these 30 new shades, that brings my total full size hot pots up to 110..woah. Although at 99 cents a piece there's nothing to feel guilty about, imagine if they had been Mac eyeshadows D:

Coastal Scents Hot Pots and Samples Swatches (52 colors)

By: Brunilda on 2:45 PM

*Colors are photographed in natural light and are very close to how they appear in real life, most colors are layered twice on my bare arm, some of the less pigmented ones are layered up to four times to achieve the same swatch pigmentation as the rest*

Samples

                         

Arctic Breeze: Satin, Sheer

Laguna Green: Shimmer, Semi-opaque

Appletini: Matte, Sheer

Indigo: Matte, Opaque (This one was the least pigmented and sheerest)

I received a sample quad of the original Revealed palette. The shadows don't have any names so I had to guess as to which one's they were.

            

Hot Pots

Palette 1

I just received 24 of the 28 shadows in this palette today so this is my first time swatching any of them!

        

Vanilla Sky: Satin, Sheer

Sand Dune: Satin, Semi-opaque

Pale Nude: Matte, Semi-sheer, (this is a pink, not a nude)

Antique Lilac: Matte, Opaque

Fine Wine: Matte, Sheer

Maroon Berry: Matte, Opaque (one of my favorites,can't wait to see how it looks with my green eyes)

        

Cajun Craze: Shimmer Opaque

Golden Avocado: Shimmer, Semi-opaque

Amber Bronze: Shimmer, Opaque

Victorian Ruby: Shimmer, Semi-opaque
