Oh dear. I think I’m in love! There’s been a huge fuss over the 88 eyeshadow palette on youtube for a long time now, and as always I just let this one slip past me as ordering online is was out of the question. I don’t think any girl can help but go crazy over this mind blowing amount of colours!
I found a German website called Zoeva which sells the exact same palette as Coastal Scents (which is based in America) so ordering will be significantly cheaper there. It’s still pretty expensive for my likings, (costs 11EUR with UPS) so if anyone knows a website that sells this but with less shipping (to Belgium that is) that would be lovely!
The palette itself costs 14,95EUR which is a BARGAIN! For the amount of very good quality and highly pigmented colours you get this is dead cheap! I myself want the matte palette as I’m not much of a shimmery eyeshadow fan but it does also come in a shimmery/sparkly version which has the exact same colours but in a different formula. The matte palette has mostly matte colours but also a few satin ones, as you can see on the image the oranges and browns are more shimmery.
I’m probably going to wait till my Boozyshop Konad order arrives and then order this, they deliver it on your doorstep so I’m a bit worried about that, it ensures that the shadows won’t crack or break during shipping but I don’t really know how it works when they try and deliver it when you’re not at home, I’m at home mostly but my parents aren’t and I hate opening the door for someone I don’t know, haha. I’m such a pussy.
Ordering only the palette I think is a little bit silly as the shipping is so expensive so these things caught my eye as well and will probably be ordering these too:
a concealer palette, I’m in desperate need for a new concealer, I’m using one from Hema at the moment and it’s useless. I saw a review by Beautygloss on this palette and that totally won me over! I was first considering buying one from MAC but they costs about as much as this entire palette, so 1 colour versus 20, you get my point? Plus it gives more coverage than the MAC one does so it’s perfect.
Might also order the foundation brush by Zoeva but I want to read some more reviews on that first, it’s either that one or MAC.

hmm, i was about to buy concealer or a camouflage stick from hema (since i use cleansing lotion, facial scrub and mascara from hema too)… is it really that bad?

I wouldn't say it's utterly useless but I don't really like it and wouldn't recommend it. The camouflage stick I haven't tried yet so that might be good? I don't know. I have the little liquid concealer tube by the way, so stay away from that one! I like Hema's nailpolish and blush though, they're more than satisfactory.
