I received Coastal Scents Eyeshadow Sample Quad in Set 5. These quads feature eyeshadows from Coastal Scents Hot Pot line, this particular quad featured the following colors:
-Vibrant Red - a matte, true red
-Frosty Taupe - a frosted, pale, greenish taupe color
-Raisin Berry - a shimmery, warm cranberry color
-Vanilla Sky - a shimmery, slightly off white color
I wore three out of the four colors, Raisin Berry, Frosty Taupe and Vanilla Sky, so I will only be reviewing those shades. Before I get into the actual review I think it's important to mention that when I swatch eyeshadow shades I do so on bare skin, however, when I wear the products I'm testing I always use a base because I would never go without a base in my everyday life. Okay, now on to the review: all the shades I tested were on my lid a minimum of eight hours without any creasing and were almost as vibrant as when I first put them on. The fading was very minimal and overall I feel like the shade I tested are great eyeshadows; they were buttery soft, pigmented and blended on the lid easily. I really enjoyed the Raisin Berry color which some may feel looks similar to MAC's Cranberry, which I also own but haven't had a chance to compare them, but from memory I think that Raisin Berry may be a little more wearable because it seems a warmer shade to me. I can't make any concrete decision on that though as I would have to compare the colors first but again, I really enjoyed wearing that shade. I think I may even look into purchasing the full size pan in the near future and maybe pick up a few more additional shades as well.
