I´m thinking about getting some Coastal scents pallets and now i´m wondering : Where´s the best place to get them?!
Do you only get them online? Are they fine if you get them fron Hong kong or what ever?!
I´m a newby to Costal scents as you can tell. Thanks for your help!
I buy mine online from their website. They usually have discounts pretty often. I'm crazy about their smaller palettes like the CS Go Cairo palette with 16 colours that is small enough to fit into my bag.
I got mine from Amazon because they were slightly cheaper (still fulfilled by Coastal Scents, so no risk there) and because of the free 2-day shipping and nifty return policy. I really wouldn't go anywhere other than amazon.com or coastalscents.com for them.
@Angela: The 88 palettes, 78 palette, 28 neutral, 10 blush, 10 concealer, and those sorts of palettes ARE wholesale palettes you can get on eBay. (BH Cosmetics, Manly, Crown Brushes, Sedona Lace, among other places, sell them as well.) The brushes are rebranded Crown ones.
Unless you're just referring to the other palettes they sell (e.g., the city-inspired ones), the rest of their cosmetics, and their ingredients? I can buy those being made in-house. But the other stuff is definitely wholesale.
Have to agree with Shelly T on the fact that the majority of the CS palettes aren't unique at all, although I personally love them, you can buy the same ones off Ebay from Hong Kong or maybe China. I have the 88 original palette, the 32 lip palette,the camouflage palette, the 78 blush brush palette and the Go Paris palette. The only palette I think I wouldn't be able to find on ebay is the Go Paris ones. Then again, I've heard absolute horror stories of people buying these CS palettes off Ebay for a cheaper pricer, only to receive a broken palette with most of the eyeshadows absolutely ruined. This is mainly why I bought my palettes directly from their website, I guess I chose safety, but even then I could probably have gotten my palettes for less money, it really is all about how well you research it.
Just to add to Aferdita N. Comment about safety. I too bought my palettes from their website and would recommend buying them from another trusted site such as Amazon. I was very satisfied with the products as well as the packaging the only downfall (IMO) from ordering from their site is it took a few weeks before receiving my package. Idk if this has happened to others but I am now ordering my products from Amazon :)
I used one of there palettes today to do my makeup. Here's a photo of how the look came out . All shadows used in this look are from the Coastal Scents Fall Festives Palette

I think you can only get them online. There's a chance they could be fake if you get them from Hong Kong but they're probably fine :)
