Thoughts on the quality? I am especially interested in the Revealed 2 palette, which is a dupe to UD's naked 3 (at a fraction of the price and cruelty free).

SOOOO funny you should ask this HD! I was thinking yesterday I need to tell you about Coastal Scents!
Over the holidays they had a 50% off sale so I made a bunch of my own palettes with the hot pots and empty magnetic palettes. A bunch of the ones I got were in the rose gold family, plus some basic neutrals. The shadows are very pigmented and great quality.
I've had my eye on the Revealed 2 palette but decided to make my own. Sign up for their emails because they have great sales every week, and those Revealed palettes come up on sale for half off often.
One of the large empty palettes I got... I was able to peel out the foam insert and create my own empty z-palette like container for other depotted shadows and blushes.

MissKylnn, thank you!! I'd love to make my own palette too, that is a great idea! I really respect your recommendations and opinions so I appreciate the information.

Right back at ya!
I think I spent a day looking up swatches online, there are some good bloggers out there with swatches of nearly every color. I also like that you can sort by finish (matte/satin/shimmer) and color family on their site, oh and that they have youtuber's video demos and reviews right there on the items... fabulous!
Let me see if I can copy over the one's I got from my order. Oh some of them you can use as blush too! I got several of the big empty palettes but I also got the quad, which has been fantastic for travel! I can just pop out 4 shades I want to take with me! Their brushes are great too, I got that huge 22 brush roll for like $17 and that's all I use now.

oooh pretty MissKlynn! I think all the colors you picked look beautiful and I would like most of them in my own palette, just not the earth rose or cinammon one because those colors make me look like I am ill. Can I ask how much the palette with all those shades cost, roughly? The last two colors, do they go on lighter and do they retain the dimensional quality when you apply them? I love green/gold shadows but find when I apply them on me, they often just look kind of muddy and lose all that dimension. I've been trying to find ones that actually keep that pretty green/gold look.

I paid around $20 for the pots and the 28 piece empty palette together. They also have a 12 piece empty palette for even less. Keep in mind I got everything 50% off, so 17 hot pots @ $0.98 ea and the 28 palette for 4.98. They do have half off hot pot sales several times a year.
The two greens I have definitely lean more on the gold side with a green tint, with Gypsy Green having more green to it than Golden Avocado... but only slight. Golden Avocado is very golden. They both have great dimension in that the color shifts at different angles. Probably not what you want though, maybe not enough green.
My favorite green/gold is Tarte shadow stick in Moss Green, this is the perfect olive green with gold dimension. But I know your not OK with Tarte anymore .

I think they are OK for the price and nice for beginners who want to play with color but nowhere near the quality of Lorac, Urban Decay, Tom Ford, etc. Considering how long shadows last, I now only buy higher end, but if you want a cheaper alternative my sister has told me she is loving markeup geek (youtube guru)! Absolutely amazing quality!
