Coastal Scents - Hot Pots: Elven Gold

Coastalscents.com's description:

 "glistening shine with shimmery, pastel gold hues"

Finish : Shimmer
Application :  Opaque


"A 1-inch metal pan that contains a highly pigmented eye shadow for multiple applications. Each Coastal Scents Hot Pot™ fits snugly into our Go Pod, 4 Piece, 12 Piece, and 28 Piece Empty Magnetic Palettes. These custom palettes contain magnets in a soft foam padding which attract the metal pan of the Hot Pot™. This allows you to completely customize your palette to create any look by simply adding interchangeable Hot Pots™ from our vast collection of shades, hues, and finishes."


My thoughts:

These Hot Pots from Coastal Scents are a lot like MAC's eyeshadows, and maybe even better. They all have a creamy, soft texture, and most of them are HIGHLY pigmented.

I would agree that the application of this particular shade is pretty opaque. This shade has a really pretty iridescence to it and depending on what angle in the light you look at it, you see different tones of gold/champagne. This shade also kind of reminds me of L'Oreal's Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte. I love using this shade for all over the lid and in the inner corner. Its too opaque and shimmery for a highlight for me.
