Bitzy eyeshadow compacts at Sally Beauty

Looking for cute, cheap, empty eyeshadow palettes? $1.69!
Sally Beauty's Bitzy brand sells magnetic quad compacts, perfect size for Mac and Coastal Scents size eyeshadows. These are just like the white ones ELF used to make, but cuter + slightly better quality.
I picked up a few Bitzy eyeshadows to try out, they're nice for $1.69:
Queen of Crème, Petal to the Metal, Punky Purple, Party in the City, Dreamy, High Spirited, Cloud Nine

Bitzy is aimed at more 'sophisticated' hipster millennials, I guess... the color selection is very basic/neutral.
I'm a little sad that this $1.69 Bitzy brand replaced the $0.99 Sally Girl cosmetics-
Sally Girl eyeshadows were individually packaged and fun, vibrant colors!
Here's pics of my Sally Girl eyeshadow collection:
The small round compacts were wet/dry eyeshadows- super pigmented when using a damp brush! And perfect size for travel.

(haul) My Coastal Scents DIY Eyeshadow Palette

CoastalScents.com has 99cent eyeshadow 'Hot Pot' sales at least twice per year.
Over 380 eyeshadow colors to choose from, of course I choose way too many! :-) haha
persian green, vibrant green, peridot, seaside bronze, fairy gold, canary gold, canary diamond, bombshell
mazarine blue, blue zircon, solar flame, pure bronze, caramelized, caramel ice, peach silver, pink silver
tanzanite, rainstorm, opal black, deep eggplant, edgy eggplant, deep grape, light love, light pink
ice ballet, alpengeist, white silver, polar bare, snow bunny, white cloud, thulain pink, raspberry tart
perfect plum, lavender lace, orchid, purple, vibrant purple, amethyst, queen's jubilee, gutsy grape
silver lilac, wisteria, violetville, violet echo, regalia purple, purple panic, lavender, little grapette
What happens when your eyeshadow arrives broken? Instead of shipping me a new eyeshadow CoastalScents.com told me I could either choose a $0.99 refund (the price I paid) OR get store credit for $1.95 (full price). So that sucks.
 
Some of the CoastalScents eyeshadows I bought are dupes for high end products: 
CS snow bunny = MAC gesso
CS orchid = MAC vibrant grape
CS wisteria = MAC romping
CS amethyst = MAC nocturnelle
CS caramel ice = MAC naked lunch = URBAN DECAY kitten, sin
CS copper glaze = URBAN DECAY half baked
CS copper pot = MAC amber lights = URBAN DECAY baked
CS lavender = MAC purple haze
CS light pink = MAC phloof
CS regalia purple = MAC contrast
CS thulian pink = MAC plum dressing

Coastal Scents HAUL

I have ZERO experience with Coastal Scents until today. I used to watch youtube videos with girls raving about some "88 color palette" but I would never use all those colors *shrug* I don't wear browns or nude/basic colors. So I never ventured over to their website...
until my ELF haul :-) I got a few of those refillable compacts, and 26mm pans fit- which happens to be a popular eyeshadow pan size, like for Mac and Coastal Scents haha so OK I'll give them a try!

Voilà! now I have my own contour & highlighting palette :-)
I bought 3 concealer pots (#1, 2, 3) and 7 eyeshadows (white silver, ice ballet, lavender, amethyst, edgy eggplant, bombshell, emerald ice). The pink+red triangles are free blush samples.
