First, I'd like to let you know that except for the two eyeshadows labeled as MAC products, all the eyeshadows in the first palette image are Coastal Scents products. (I'll subjectively explain my holy grail items one by one) * Starting with the Persian Peach color in the first palette, it's a warm yellow-peach shade with a hint of white, and it has a matte finish, so it can be used as a blush as well. It's a juicy orange or peach makeup shade that can be used as a blush and eye base. * Coral Treasure is an orange-coral eyeshadow with gold pearl, and it's a color that would suit warm-toned individuals the best among the Coastal Scents products. * The Peach color is a pink-based eyeshadow with gold pearl, giving a more pink-toned coral feel. The second row of the palette consists of matte eyeshadows, which are a versatile color combination that everyone should have. A must-have is the *Bermuda Sand for nose contouring! And the *Chocolatier at the end of the third row is so mysterious and beautiful, perfect for brightening the under-eye triangle and softening the eyeliner. The overall swatches had great pigmentation and quality.
ConsSince these eyeshadows come individually packaged like refill pans, you'll likely need to purchase a separate palette to house them. Additionally, there's an inconvenience that they don't have built-in magnets, so you'll have to DIY and attach magnets yourself for use. Also, the colors shown on the website may not be entirely accurate, so you could end up with shades that don't quite match your expectations. However, the eyeshadows in the first palette image that I've shared are all my personal recommendations to help you avoid any disappointments. In the second image, the Redwood color is more pigmented than the Etude House Daldal Sweet Persimmon Tea, and the Deep Cider has a slight pearl finish. But overall, the rest of the shades were quite intense in pigmentation, a bit too strong for my personal preferences.
TipThe regular price for the single eyeshadow pans is usually $1.95, but when they're on sale, you can sometimes find them discounted to $0.95. So if you're willing to keep an eye out for sales, you can get them at a great price. Even without the discounts, the price is already quite affordable, and the quality is excellent. So if there are any bold, intense shades you've been wanting to try but held back due to the price, now's your chance to indulge. The basic neutral shades also have amazing pigmentation, so you won't regret purchasing them. I personally use a MAC palette, and the size of these Coastal Scents eyeshadow pans is slightly smaller than Etude House shadows, but about 1mm larger than MAC, fitting perfectly into the MAC palette without the need for additional magnetic stickers. ♥ Please note that the images and text in the images are my own handcrafted work. ♥

The 1 would be great for daily use... I haven't tried the 2, but the 1 is a famous product among American sisters, the Urban Decay Naked Palette 1,2 budget version. The review is that I will use and write about the 1. The original price was quite expensive for a student to buy, so I purchased it from Ku×Global! Excluding the shipping fee, I bought it for 20,000 won, so for a 20-color palette, it can be considered an incredibly affordable price. Haha The color payoff varies depending on whether the eyeshadows are shimmery or matte. The matte shadows just so-so in terms of payoff, but the shimmery ones are quite pigmented. The fallout is also so-so... It's not a lot, but it's not completely absent either. The longevity was just average when I used it alone, but it really shines when used with an eye primer. In my eyes, it held up well! It may vary from person to person... Personally, I highly recommend the 13,000 won primer from Bds. Most importantly, there are many daily-wearable brown-toned shades, so this palette alone can complete a natural eye look.
ConsThe smell!!!!!! It will probably go away over time... but the artificial factory-fresh smell is just so unpleasant to me. The smell is so distracting that it irritates me every time I pick up the palette to apply the eyeshadows. And I'm seriously worried about the cardboard packaging. It's a two-layer rigid paper case that clicks shut with a magnet, so I'm constantly worried that it will shatter while I'm carrying it around. Other than that... not much else. For 20,000 won, I scored a 20-color eyeshadow palette, so I'll just grit my teeth and use it.
TipThe actual colors are a bit more brown-toned and have higher saturation compared to the photos.
