HI!

I bought the Coastal Scents 10 pc blush palette and 3 duo stipling brushes (aka the MAC 187) from this ebay seller, and if you want more information check out this youtube video.

The prices are way cheaper than Coastal Scents. And I don't think they are fake stuff or whatever, cos I am sure CS bought their stock from some mass produced place in China anyway, which is where this ebay seller is from (well, she is in Hong Kong to be exact)  and Singapore is nearer to HK rather than US... so I guess the shipping is cheaper and faster as well.

*update on prices:

10 colour blush palette -- CS ($16.95)   ebay ($7.99)

Pink Duo Stippling Brush -- CS ($7.95)  ebay ($3.99)

Shipping --- CS ($16.85)    ebay($12.97)

Total savings --- CS ($57.85) minus ebay ($32.93)  = $24.92!!!!

Love the colors on the palette, and I don't think I own any colours which are comparable... yet.  I think.

The brushes, well, I would say the texture is more similar to the MAC special edition (SE) brushes which you can feel is more synthetic, and less dense.  I also wash these brushes.  There was a bit of shedding, and a lot of color washing!!

I will prolly post updates when I have the chance to use them for some time.

The shipping is very fast (it is not THAT cheap, but still within reason) and still overall cheaper than if I order from Coastal Scents the cost of each of the items are cheaper than the listed prices on coastal scents website.

Everything is packed nicely, check out the layers of bubble, foam and styrofoam packaging around my palette!!  Nothing was broken, and everything arrived in good condition.

The picture above shows my MAC187 on the left (it is dirty!! I know...) and the new one on the right.  It is less dense as you can see, and looks more 'synthetic'. I bought 3, cos one each for me, and my 2 sisters.

If you want more information and pictures about this palette, check out temptalia, lots of pictures and and reviews.    This is going to be such a FUN palette!!!
