Coast to Coral

ColourPop Coast to Coral 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, nine-pan palette with four true mattes shades, two sparkles-over-matte shades, and three shimmers. Per the back of the outer packaging, Anemone and Keep Swimming are "not intended for use in the immediate eye area" (likely due to certain color additives; they did not have plastic glitter listed as an ingredient).

I'm not against the concept of a matte with larger sparkles, but the issue is that--presently--the sparkles tend to be more of a nuisance rather than performing a function. They tend to disperse unevenly or add fallout during application with little adhesion over time. The shimmers were more consistent but still seemed on the drier side compared to the brand's shimmers from a year or two ago. The mattes were more substantial and blindable, though on the powdery side.
