Hello lovely people,
I’m going to briefly review
another small palette that I have from the GO Palette collection from Coastal
Scents, The Go Palette Cairo.I was
actually looking for a palette which would have mostly darker shades and a mix
of matte and satin finish eyeshadows for evening wear and somehow I stumbled
upon this one. It has 12 eyeshadow colors and a mirror, I wish there was a sponge tip applicator too, but that's okay, I can do without that!
Here are some pictures and
swatches of the same.
The casing is tiny, about the same size as the MAC studio fix carton. |
There is a complete ingredient list on the cover |
The shadows are really tiny, see ! |
The shade description is given below |
Here is the shade description

The swatches: row wise
Price: $8.95
for 12 eyeshadow colors
The
wow! factors:
- Good shade selection , it has colors for lids, highlighting and crease(for which I prefer matte finish colors)
- Has a mix of matte, shimmer and satin finish eyeshadows
- Easy on pocket, great for beginners
- Travel friendly casing, fits easily in handbag and sturdy enough
The uh-oh! factors
- Pigmentation of colors is not even, the white is way to chalky to be used, the dark brown and black have superb pigmentation, and rest of the colors are just okay-ish
- The shadows don’t show up without a primer
- Staying power is about 2-3 hrs after which they just fade away
- Shimmer shades have a little fallout
- Other than this I don’t think there is anything that I dislike about this palette, what more can we expect at such a price!!
No, I won’t buy it
again!! I’d rather invest in a single
eyeshadow that would have nice pigmentation and staying power, even without a
base.
OMG!!I was eyeing just this one when there was a discount running on CS a month ago-but as I couldnt find a review-I thought about waiting!! Thanks for the review :) :)
