"A confident woman knows her inner beauty will captivate you, and her eyes will mesmerize you"-Sarah Lucero. This quote which is in the inside of the palette, perfectly fits with this gorgeous In the Garden palette by Stila.
The colors are so pigmented. This palette does resemble most of the beautiful colors of a perfect garden. I absolutely love the rosette and juniper shades. I use the chinois shade for my brow bone to give it the best highlight. I have gotten a lot of use out of this palette. You can achieve many different eye looks. The eye shadows are great quality, very buttery and very easy to work with. It also comes with a eyeliner which is so easy to use. I recommend giving this a try. You wont be disappointed. Its really easy to pack this away for traveling to. The only downside to this palette as it doesn't have a mirror. These eyeshadows are very long lasting to whether you apply them wet or dry, they last all day (and night). Easy to remove too.
I recently purchased this palette from beauty bay after hearing such great reviews of Stila eye-shadows in general and I am not disappointed. This palette has a great selection of very wearable shades. It also comes with a smudge stick waterproof eyeliner in Starfish (Khaki green) which I love as much as the palette
The packaging isn't anything special and not very travel friendly simply in-cased in a cardboard package with a magnetic closer (the eyeliner is also a mission to get out, without tipping the palette upside down). This palette also doesn't have a mirror like most high end palettes, which I don't have an issue with but is worth mentioning.
I find the shades beautifully pigmented, buttery and easy to blend. I find the shadows to be long lasting (have only tried with a primer underneath) and think this palette is great for those who want to branch out from the usual brown/taupe neutrals and try something a little different but still a neutral look. It also comes with a look-book if you need some inspiration on looks to create with this gorgeous palette
I have read this produces more intense results if used wet, which I haven't tried yet as I like the look dry, while try on a night out when I want a more intense look and come back and let you now how that goes.
I think this palette is a pretty good deal when you take into account the fantastic eyeliner and quality shadows you are getting :)
