ColourPop Going Coconuts Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Going Coconuts
ColourPop Going Coconuts 9-Pan Pressed Shadow Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, muted neutral palette featuring a mix of mattes and shimmers (and no Pressed Glitters!). The palette ranged more muted with neutral to neutral-warm undertones compared to very rosy or more orange-toned neutrals. The eyeshadows had opaque pigmentation, soft and blendable textures, and lasted between eight and nine hours on me.

Shredded
Shredded is a light-medium, yellowed beige with moderate, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer with a soft, lightly powdery texture that didn’t seem to have much in the way of fallout, but it did seem to apply more cool-toned when layered and blended into other shades in the palette. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Palm Reader
Palm Reader is a bright, white gold with barely-there, warmer shimmer and micro-sparkle paired with a metallic finish. It had rich color payoff with a more loosely-pressed texture, so there was a bit of excess product kicked up in the pan and some fallout during application if I wasn’t careful to tap off the excess. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Coolada
Coolada is a light-medium taupe with neutral-to-warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had excellent color coverage in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and remained blendable along the edges without losing its intensity. The texture was soft, a smidgen powdery in the pan, but easy to work with and not prone to fallout. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Coco Crush
Coco Crush is a bright, pale copper with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a soft, more loosely-pressed texture that felt very cream-like to the touch. I had to be careful to use it with a lighter hand to avoid disturbing the surface too much, though! It applied evenly and blended out nicely. It wore well for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly on me.

I’m blown away by the quality and simple beauty of this palette. It is fresh in its own way. Probably because it’s not red or orange based, yet not dull, either. It’s in my cart as I type this. So is Coconut Beach and today’s earlier reviewed lip duo. Hopefully, at some point, CP will honor their codes!
Is a collection really new if another collection has launched? ?
Great question, huh? They DO release something new every several days, so this shouldn’t be “new” in a few! ?
This is almost old-fashioned! It’s from the BMR era…Before Modern Renaissance. Refreshing change. There are plenty of dupes, but they aren’t all in one place. This is great for people who are a tad tired of the red tones. Who would have predicted that such a set of basics would look almost revolutionary?
Agreed! I love the simplicity of this palette and it’s a nice change from palettes like MR. I like having all these colours in one palette.. I think it will be a great staple to travel with.
This is a really nice palette! Good quality, good price and colours that really appeal to me personally.
Colour Pop can do it so well without the pressed glitter, un-eyesafe shades and lots and lots of pinks, reds and oranges.
This is a lovely muted neutral palette, I only wish that there were more shimmer shades than mattes, but the colours do complement each other.
Lovely eye look Christine.
This is the first ColourPop 12-pan palette that has called to me! Super excited about it YAYYY!!!
I wish the white gold wasn’t super stark but I’ll survive ^__^
I really like this one, but I have to resist because I don’t need another neutral palette.
I love red-based browns and always find it tough to pass up, even though I have these colors. This whole release is ?
This one is such a beauty. Loved it. So simple compact everyday wear palette..
Finally, not a palette full of pink, red & warm brown.
I agree on the sentiment about the red and orange based colors. I love them but have them in spades. I broke down and ordered this and A Little Quarky. I really don’t have a cohesive palette with these colors. The COLOURPOPPIN code worked for me.
Sometimes new products are excluded from promo codes!
I get it. But with the brand, something a week old is old!
I’m so glad I saw this post. The code worked for me and saved me the cost of shipping! Thank you, TropicalCowgirl!
Me too thank you TropicalCowgirl the code COLOURPOPPIN worked, palette is back in stock.
Friendly reminder: code TEMPTALIA also works and is the one that helps to support the blog 🙂 (whether it is the best to use depends on the value of your order!)
Good to know. I only ordered $20 BUT I have sent the code to people I order where they order a lot more from them.
Basic palettes are making a comeback on my wishlist and this is no exception! It looks fantastic!
This is such a beautiful palette! But I also don’t need another more shimmers. Does anyone know of an alternative palette like this (neutral tone mattes)? Preferably less pans with mattes/slight satin neutral toned
Am still looking for a good neutral-to-cool palette. Tried the colourpop Fame Palette and I just didn’t like it. The matte shadows were stiff and hard to blend, which are what I am most interested in, and the shimmer/sparkly shades had no staying power for me. I haven’t had these issues with other, warmer palettes from colourpop. How does this one compare? I am afraid it will lean warm red/orange on me, as opposed to cooler neutral.
Does colourpop ever have quality control issues between palettes? Like between the same palette. I just ordered this and double entendre and received it today. The formula is great (my first colourpop order) but coolada and lovely bunch are noticeably bad, especially compared to the others. The other colors are all creamy and soft, but those two felt very stiff and was unpigmented. During a finger swatch it felt chalky and I had to do two layers to get it to look like the other layers. On the eye I had to really build up color, and I find coolada was harder to blend out (there was a line where the brush first touched, even though I buffed it). It looked good in the end but I felt it was much more work vs. the double entendre look I did. Just curious as it is so well reviewed here, but my swatches of the two colors did not look like that!
I’ve generally found ColourPop to be consistent in re-releases (but not 100% of the time, of course), but that would be over time, like a shade released in a palette and then later on as a single, but I don’t get multiples of the same item typically!
This is pretty. I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need it
