Sydney Grace Eyeshadow Palette Swatches - California Coast (Light and Deep), Mountain Trail
Sydney Grace’s Christmas in July Sale for 2022 is right around the corner! The sale kicks off on July 25th and runs through August 1st. On July 25th, California Coast will launch as a new palette and will also be available as a gift with purchase with minimum purchase, and it will be available in a Light and Deep version (three shades differ between the two palettes). On July 27th, the Mountain Trail palette will release and will be gift with purchase with minimum purchase; it was originally released as a bundle of shades a couple of years ago and has now returned in palette-form. All of the palettes can also be purchased individually if desired.
Each has a shadow or two that I like but the two California palettes are just too pinky for me (though I love Carmel Beach) and the other one just looks “jaundice inducing” for my skin tone though I like Escape, Rustic and Light My World. I like them so much that I probably have dupes (fingers crossed).
Wow, so many of those California coast shades look like dupes of each other!
I will purchase all three as soon as they are available. I wish SG would release them all at once since the different days complicate things for me but I’ve worked around it for past sales.
I’m guilty of buying both light and deep versions for all SG releases in the past, including Temptalia’s, so the California Coast palettes are a definite — and I love the color story. I do have the Mountain Trail bundle but since I prefer the pre-made palette format, I want to get that one, too. I’ve cut back my makeup purchases significantly, and SG is one of the few brands still on my radar, so I can rationalize this haul.
Yeah, same for me on pre-made palettes (I sometimes hit a creative block with my singles collection unless I get inspired by something specifically to assemble them in a palette format) but I’m trying to resist buying MT again since I actually have the bundle in a 9-pan magnetic palette and I placed them in there the same way as they were depicted on the website back then.
I’ve managed to get both light and deep of only one SG palette so far (a Temptalia one), but it’s always been SO difficult holding back. I totally understand getting both! I’m pretty likely to get the other version of one or both of the other two Temptalia palettes I got last summer this time. I with they would release the ones that aren’t duplicated between deep and light palette versions as singles!
I agree…..and on same page as i still buy sydney grace and a couple other indie brands but thats it….. all of these offering are not my cup of tea but i will for sure pick up something from the sale.

Ooh the California Coast palette looks gorgeous!
I love SG e/s formulas.. may have to snag California coast. despite potential redundancies in my stash.
Mountain Trails has me wishing that I had kept the box for my UD Naked Foxy Mini! Because, even though I like it, I LOVE Mountain Trails so much more.
Also love California Coast Deep version!
I missed Mountain Trail when it was available as a bundle, so I’m _super_ excited to get it now! I’m extra excited to finally get Back Woods! Not sure about the California palette. I don’t have anything similar to the three rosy-coppery shimmers, which surpised me, but I’m not feeling drawn to it.
I will be getting the light version if California Coast and the Mountain Trail palettes, I have a wish list started 🙂
Doesn’t Mountain Trail look like me in palette form? I mean, you all know me and my love of green colors! This one is going to be mine if it reviews satisfactorily and I assume it will given the usual quality of SG eye shadows. The other two are really pretty but those colors have been done a lot so I am covered.
These do look quite pretty, even though there are a few shades in each that are not quite for me – but you can’t have everything!
As much as I do love the olivey tones of Light, I think I would get more ‘use’ out of deep – ignoring the perennial matte black shade!
The Mountain Trail one is calling my name! I know I don’t neeeeed it, but dang.
I want Mountain Trail!
Love the look of California Coast! Pinks are my idea of neutrals. 🙂
Pretty but I don’t wear greens or rosy tones so I’ll be skipping both. I will definitely pick up a mystery bag if they do a cool toned option again, which they usually do, and I’ve added a bunch of shadows to my Wishlist, both new and repurchases, that I plan to get.
I wanted to add that I think the Sydney Grace formula is the best out there currently. I paired Dearest Reader (Temptalia’s shade, on my lid) with a few Colourpop singles (and I love Colourpop) and I was startled by the stark difference in performance, opacity and texture—like I could I was wearer a much higher quality shadow against the backdrop of not.
I am getting the Light California Coast. It reminds me of the Raspberry Kiss bundle and that is my all time favorite bundle of theirs. This is a must buy for me.
