I was "enabled" into buying this month's and months ago. I had no idea what the Stila brand was. Hadn't heard of it. Was just told I needed it. As I'm a good girl I said on and brought it!
Wow heck! It turned up perfectly wrapped and in perfect condition. The 1 and only thing that I don't love is the cardboard Packaging. It's not sexy! BUT it's ok cause as soon as you open it and use these shadows you will fall head over heels! So you flip the lid up and inside is a mirror on the top side with protective film. There is the plastic sheet protecting the shadows with the names on.
The shadows!! These are like rum to the coke, fish for the chips, chocolate to the cake for your eyes!! There are 10 colours. Light to black. Mattes and shimmers. Oh how I love the shimmers.ok now I no this is bad but they just make me need and want to dip my finger in and swatch them on the tip. They feel so creamy as your finger goes over the colour.
Anyway I'm not going to describe all the colours as they are listed above (and to keep my rambling down!) What I will describe is how amazing they are. So I apply with a brush and I don't need to use a primer or anything. These are so creamy they stick to my eye all day. They go on so easy, so smoothly and the important thing is they don't drop below my eye or flake off.
You can blend these so easy. You can apply so it's a light cover or foil them to a intense colour. (That's wetting the brush to apply to your skin) I like to use a angled brush and use these colours along my lash lines. Both top and bottom like a eyeliner. They last all day like this as well.
Kitten is a stunning shadow to use even as a highlight on your cheeks.
The pencil that comes with this is creamy Not a pencil pencil. It's easy to blend to use as a tool for smokey eyes.
You need this palette to make your eyes feel like they are amazing. Wee diamonds sparkling in the sky....
I lovs this pallete so much! When I first got this I swatched all of the colours and I must say they are super duper pigmented just on their own, even more so when used on a primer which makes the vibrancy so intense! This has all the neutral colours you will ever need with a nice balance of shimmery and matte to play up or tone down any look. I love the fact it has included the stila famous 'kitten' which is puuuuurfect for the inner corner and brow bone high light! And to be fair, a little goes a long way for most of these shades! Go out and purchase this pallete, you won't be disappointed !
Tips: Use the kitten shade as a dupe for cheekbone and cupids bow high lighter, you only need to use a little bit!
