US$28 for 88 Eye Shadow Palette: Cheap or Not?

Hong Kong
February 25, 2009 7:34am CST
I bought an eye shadow palette of 88 colors (haven't got enough time to take a photo but I will *smiles*). I personally think it's a really good deal because usually when I bought one color, it costs me around $12-$15. Now I got 88 colors to play with and I am happy with it because sometimes I feel like having an unusual color, but then I thought it would be a waste of money to buy something that I won't use regularly! Now, it's so cheap that I don't really mind! So do you think I have got a good deal?

Hello wondericequeen, I responded to the latest discussion. I saw the palette and it looks good to me. You will have a really good and enjoyable time to play with all the 88 colors later. I bought one before (but less than 88 colors definitely) but I can't remember how much I paid for it. But the stuff was not so good and the color didn't last long.

I think you are talking about the Coastal scents 88.I sell this and I think it's great. Very good quality for a low price,some of my customers even said it was better than MAC.

I think you got a good deal! I would definitely go for something like that. I think the palettes with tons of colors are great, because they offer lots of different shades, and when you can get it for a good price like that, then you can really experiment with colors you might not normally buy. I once received a palette like that as a gift from someone, and even though some of the colors aren't colors I would normally use, I had fun playing around with the different colors and ended up finding a few that worked for me after all! Anyway, I think 88 for $28 sounds like a good deal if you like eyeshadows! Have fun experimenting!

Thanks I sure will and I will write a blog about it too after trying out the quality. Indeed, I talked to the seller because I am sure after I talk about it online, some ladies would be interested to get it. And the seller said she could offer a few to me so that I could ship out to the ladies! I like helping them to get good deals *smiles*.

For 88 colors, that sounds like a deal. At first, before actually reading your discussion, I thought you meant just for one or two colors. I guess it really depends on the brand, though, and the quality of the makeup. I know I might consider paying that for high-end brands such as MAC or Chanel, where you know you're getting your moneys worth. :)

Yea I know! I would spend on MAC or Chanel too but only for 1 or 2 colors which I would definitely use. However, having a mix of 88 colors, I could explore some of the colors which I am not so sure of and create more looks with it too *smiles*.
