OK, this is one of the best palettes I’ve ever had! It’s absolutely stunning and it really does have 88 colours in it – I can’t see why you’d need to buy another thing all year when there are shades from every single collection gathered together in one box in tiny dots of colour. Incredibly, the palette costs £24.95. I’ve swatched a few of the colours … obviously I don’t have an arm long enough to do the lot, and I’m so impressed with the quality for the money. There’s a little bit of drop on application but otherwise, the shades are soft, workable and vibrant. When I’m Prime Minister For Beauty, I’ll make owning one of these compulsory.
The picture above make the shades look lighter than they are so my own photographic efforts here:

Wow, that’s one hell of a bargain! Even if you only liked a tenth of the shades it would still be well worth the money, no?
I’ve been drooling over a metallic palette like this for a couple of weeks now… But as beautiful and as pigmented as they are, I’m not sure what I could do with them. I find the colors to be too strong and shimmery for everyday looks, and to buy 88 colours just for party looks, hmm…
Anyway, I’ll keep drooling untill I reach a decision. 🙂
Corina.. a lot of the colours you could use for day time.. they aren’t over the top metals x
Wow, every time I see one of these 88 palettes I really want to try it… this looks like such a good deal!
These are rebranded Chinese palettes – the same as Coastal Scents. If you look for ‘eyeshadow palette’ on Ebay and buy one of the non-branded ones, they can come out quite a bit cheaper. I agree that for the price, the quality is surprisingly good. You can get metallic, matte and other finishes on ebay.
I agree with GreatShe Elephant, this is exactly the same as the Coastal Scents palette and the cheap noname palettes on eBay, but I also agree, the quality is great. Still, 25 quid is way more than you can get these for on eBay without the brandname. 😉
I always wonder about these large pallets and how good they actually are. I don’t mind paying out if they are worth the money but so many are a bit pants. Did you find they lasted well on?
They *do* look exactly the same as coastal scents..so therefore probably are the same! Just goes to show, rebranding always gets found out.
Melanie – actually they aren’t as long lasting as a very highly pigmented shadow but I still think really good value for money and in fact I was suprrised at the quality of the formula.
I want to own one! I love it 😉
you are so lucky! such a bargain;)
I find that they do stem my desire to buy high end stuff in less useful colours so they are a good money saving purchase. Having said that, for a cheap thrill, I’d probably still pick up a Sleek palette these days in preference.
I think after the reader comments, I’ll be checking this out on eBay. But I must say it looks amazing whatever the price.
I have tried the different Palettes from Crown and also tried some of the cheaper ones from Ebay and found the quality in the Crown ones to be lots better the colour actually stays on unlike the cheaper ones, guess you get what you pay for.
This might be due to photographs, but I’m always put off by what appear to be the same colours appearing together. In this one, pinks.
