I think this is better than the Naked 3. And before you call me some sort of crazy 14 year old that doesn't understand quality in make up, hear me out.I use nearly all mid end and high end makeup. Therefore, I can't make any comments about things found at the drugstore, but I hate the Urban Decay Naked palettes. I think some of their other palettes and singles are fine, but the Naked line is terrible. The matte shades don't have very much pigmentation and are chalky, while the shimmers and glitters tend to end up on my cheeks rather than my eyes. I think that for the price, there are so many better neutral palette alternatives, like the Lorac Pro or Too Faced Neutral Eye.BUT. I really liked the shades in the Naked 3. So I decided to try it out and see if my original thoughts about the Naked line were still true. And unfortunately they were. The Naked 3 shadows were very poor quality. None of the shades were very wow inducing, and they all had a ridiculous amount of fallout with little pigmentation. And the best part was when I returned it to Sephora and the sales lady told me that these types of shades just don't look good on pale skin. Yeah okay.However, I still had a desire for pink eye lids. And a couple weeks ago, I received a little Revealed sampler in my Birchbox. I was really pleased with the quality of the shadows, and I thought, why don't I just get the Revealed 2 then. And I did.This palette is fantastic. And that's comparing it to mid end eyeshadows. The shades are all very pigmented, they show up on my skin, and the lasting power with a primer is solid. I personally used the Nars smudge proof primer, but I'm sure others would do. I also like that there is so much variation in the palette. I have used it for simple daytime looks and dramatic going out ones. I have also not had any problems with blending the shadow with my Sigma and Mac brushes.However, I will address the fall out issue. I find that for simple looks, if you are just patting on one or two colors on the lid, fall out is very minimal. But for more complex looks with lots of blending, yes there is some fall out. I would recommend doing your eyes first and then your foundation in those situations. But it's nothing you can't work with.Lastly, the only real complain I have about this palette is that the packaging is janky. It's kind of similar to the cardboard packaging of the Lorac Pro. but not as nice, and without a mirror. Mine is also crooked and doesn't close quite right. Which is a shame, but I still love the palette.

This arrived today and it's all I expected it to be and more. Super easy to blend and beautiful pigmentation. So happy I bought this instead of dropping $50+ dollars on urban decay's naked 3. I have other pallets by urban decay and I have to say, the quality of this pallet is on par and comparable to them. Get it! You will not be disappointed :) I included photos of the pallet and swatches with flash and no flash (indoor lighting). Gorgeous colors!!

So I received this today and started playing with it. The colors are just so lovely. I've always wanted the Naked3 but I refuse to spend $54 on a dang eyeshadow palette. The reviews on Youtube and Amazon is what made me decide to try the CS Revealed 2 Palette. I was blown away while I was applying the shadows on my eye. I thought I created a very pretty look. I used Milani eyeshadow primer and I don't know what went wrong because when my husband and I got home from our date... there was some creasing and I was shocked how the colors faded. I was a little disappointed hence the 3 star ratings. Maybe next time I will use my trusty Wet n Wild primer instead of Milani (tried this primer for the first time today too). I really want to make this palette work because the colors are so beautiful.Will definitely update this review once I am able to figure out how to make the staying power better.P.S.Expect some fallouts so do your eye makeup first before applying foundation on your face.UPDATE: JULY 2016I started playing with this baby again for the past 3 weeks instead of buying a new eyeshadow palette. I mentioned on my previous review that I really like the colors but I wasn't impressed with the longeivity. I used Milani eyeshadow primer and I didn't know it was the culprit ( I know I know it has excellent reviews! it sucks for me). Lately, I have been using my holy grail eyeshadow primer- Wet n Wild (Fergie) and boy what a world of difference! I can hardly believe it. The colors are even prettier and my eye makeup lasts all day/night even in hot, humid days in Alabama. I've been very pleased with this palette. I find myself reaching out for this palette when I am in the mood for a romantic eye look or smokey plum. I am also so in love with that shimmery gold/champagne color on top (7th color from left). I use it on the lid to make my eyes pop. I am willing to buy this palette even just for that single color lol.I guess what I am trying to say is that this palette is excellent as long as you use the right primer. So glad I gave it a chance! I now own the UD Naked Palette and I can honestly say that the CS Palette is comparable.

Love this palette lots of beautiful colors. More on the pink side if you're wondering. Wasn't as big as i expected but still a great palette. Pigmentation is great and hardly any fall out. Also had super fast shipping i ordered 10 o'clock at night came 2 days later early afternoon. Achieved a beautiful look today. Cant wait to see what other looks i can do '

I bought this eyeshadow palette for my fiancé. She asked me to post a review on how she honestly feels about the Smokey palette from Coastal Scents. "This palette is very bold and pigmented. I usually buy the Urban Decay palettes... After trying the Revealed palettes I will never buy one again (plus the Revealed palettes are less than half the price of the Urban ones) I do want to say that my ONLY con is that 3 of the eyeshadow colors feel a little chalky (it's a little dry and has more fallout than normal) BUT they are still wearable! The eye shadows are very blend able which is a huge plus. This palette has 20 eye shadows & is by far a steal when it comes to quality and price wise. I would recommend this to anyone. I took a few photos of the eyeshadow with & without flash! (Photos 1&2 are the top row left to right and pictures 3&4 are the bottom row left to right)

Disappointing, don't waste your money. Some are too scaly and some are too chalky and have a ridiculous amount of fallout. Tried to make it work but failed. Other coastal scents palette was quite good but this is a let down...not happy :/

This palatte is such a good purchase, it is basically a dupe for the naked 3 palette, which only comes with 12 colours. This palette comes with all of the same colours as the naked 3, plus 8 extra and they are all beautiful, very usable colours at that. Great quality, very buttery and soft when you apply it, all highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. Also a very good mix of matte and slight shimmer colours, and the shimmer colours are not overly shimmery. I can't say enough good things about this palette, would highly recommend giving it a chance and you can't beat the price, such an amazing deal for people like myself who are not willing or able to pay $50+ for a palette, when this is way less money with much more product!

die palette bietet auf dem foto warme, rose farbene eyeshadows an und so ist sie auch real. die pigmentierungen lassen sich alle mit einem eyebase gut auftragen (ob finger oder bürste) und halten auch den ganzen tag. wunderschön ist die goldfarbene eyeshadow, der braunrote ton und der burgundfarbene ton. die schimmernden farben sind frei von groben glitterpartikeln und die matten sind nicht zu trocken und dadurch leicht aufzutragen. wer eine alternative dazu mit ähnlicher qualität sucht, empfehle ich die xxl rose palette von rival de loop bei rossmann für 3,8 euro, da ist aber kein gold dabei. manche farben sind dafür sogar sehr identisch. bei rival de loop ist sogar ein besserer weÃà schimmernder highlighter eyeshadow dabei. revealed palette besteht aus einer harten und stabilen pappe mit fingernagel freundlichem magnetverschluss. produkt ist zu empfehlen.
