Stila In the Light Palette

I love this palette. I decided to treat myself to it. To be honest I only brought this due to the fact that the shade "Kitten" is in this palette, never the less I was excited to try all of the other beautiful shades too.

The packaging is very basic. In the inside above the mirror is the quote: "Believe in the beauty of the future" -Sarah Lucero. On the other side is the eye shadows, 10 Gorgeous shades. I really like all of the orangy/brown shades the most. My 2 fave eye shadows are:

KITTEN is my absolute fave! I love kitten because it makes your eyes stand out and shimmer like no tomorrow! You can also use Kitten as a highlighter on your cheekbones for a Victoria's Secret glow!. Very versatile.

SUNSET: A gorgeous rusty orange/bronze color. It is such a gorgeous shade which makes my blue eyes pop!

I use this palette daily. It is worth the splurge and these eye shadows are long lasting and great quality.

I love this palette! The shades are smooth and pigmented (though the shade Bare is not so much) and has a good range of mattes and shimmers. I use all the colours in here regularly bar the blue grey one (just not my thing). I use the shade Kitten as a cheek highlight and it's beautiful. I think for a high end palette this is reasonably priced especially for the amount of shadows. The liner that comes with it is fantastic as well, super pigmented and long lasting, and a lovely chocolate brown.

I bought this gorgeous thing off beauty bay during their black friday sale and paid around $35 NZD for it and I have to say - this palette is my absolute fave, I dont know what I did before I had it!!

The packaging is slightly prone to damage around the sides of the cardboard but mirror is a good size. Inside are 10 beautiful, highly pigmented and buttery shades that work together so well to create so many different looks! They blend together nicely and the different shades would compliment every eye colour. You can easily create a simple day look, or go heavier for night time looks - seriously the possibilities are endless. Also, as the colours are highly pigmented, the eyeshadows would last a long time so you would be sure to get good use out of it.

However, the smudge stick that came with the palette unfortunately was faulty /: The part where you rotate to move the product up is stuck so I can't make use of it. One of the downsides of buying online I guess would be that it be a hassle to exchange the product.

Overall, I would def recommend this product! It was my first high end palette and worth every cent I paid for it!

Wow! So I recently was kindly gifted this gorgeous palette over a month ago, and I have been wearing it on my eyeballs when I have been wearing make up everyday! I've been eyeing up this palette for so so long so once I was gifted it, it felt like my dreams had come true :') Every single one of the shadows that come in the palette are so stunning and can be easily dressed up or down for everyday or night time makeup looks! I tend to go for the matte cream, light and chocolate brown colours on my eyes for a more everyday look, but will add the amazing glittery shades 'kitten' or 'bubbly' on the lid with the matte black on the outer v for a more night time makeup look. these eyeshadows are so so so easy to apply and blend out, and are so so pigmented! The eyeliner that comes with the palette is so creamy and easy to apply, with an simple applicator and looks so nice when smudged out along the lower lash line. Overall this palette is flawless, and definitlely worth the money. I brought mine from Mecca Cosmetica for $62 :)

Kitten had called to me for a long time (a Stila eyeshadow colour) but I had tried to resist. Then a friend said that this palette would be discontinued, so I toddled off to have a nosey. And I fell in love. I thought once I had the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, I would forsake all others. But I'm so glad I didn't. This is my go to palette at the moment.

Kitten is definitely my favourite shade, but they are all amazingly pigmented and all colours that I would use. (Bubbly and Sunset up there with Kitten for me) The shadows blend really easily and don't have any fall out. I love having a palette that is simple and yet versatile. It also comes with a smudge stick in Damsel, which I now frequently use as well.

I thought the packaging might annoy me a little, it's a cardboard flip box. But I actually quite like it.

Would definitely recommend getting this before it disappears...and the other "In The..." ones too ;)

Super pretty shades. Amazing pigmentation and super creamy and easy to apply. Great variety of neutral shades perfect for everyday use. Pricy but totally worth the money. Cheaper alternative to the naked palettes and just as good in my opinion.

I bought this palette second hand so I don't have the lookbook it comes with and the eyeliner was pretty much done too. There was and still is plenty of shadow for me to play around with though!

This comes in pretty basic packaging. The whole palette is actually made of cardboard. It is quite thick though and doesn't feel flimsy at all. I do feel for the price, the packaging should be better. In saying that though, these in the... palettes are discontinued now. I think they have redone the colours slightly and put them in better packaging too so that's a bonus. This has a decent magnetised lid and when you open it up, you will see the beautiful shadows and also a small mirror.

The shadows in here are beautiful to just look at. You get some mattes and shimmers, neutrals and a bit of colour, darks and lights. I feel like you have a really good 10 colours to work with to make all kinds of different looks from very basic nude eyes to full on smokey clubbing eyes. I've really enjoyed playing around with this palette and have not been bored at all while using this every day for almost a month. My favourite colour in this is probably Bliss. It's just a light dusky, matte pink but it makes a beautiful transition shade for pretty much any look and I think I've used this every day. This palette also features a very highly talked about Stila shadow which is Kitten. It's a very shimmery, champagne colour. It is of course beautiful all over the lid. I also love sunset, which is a warm pinky shimmer that I use all over the lid as well.

You get a generous amount of each shadow, 1.4gms. I do have slight dips in a couple of shades but I'm no where near hitting pan yet. These are all quite powdery though so you need to tap off the excess before applying, I don't have any issue with fallout as long as I tap first. They all blend out really nicely and last well on my lid as long as I wear primer (I have slightly hooded lids so any shadow creases on me if I don't wear primer!). The colour in the pan is generally what you get on your lid too, with the exception of gilded gold. This colour looks like a glittery brown in the pan but I get a more red brown colour on my lid. I still like the colour, it just doesn't look the same as in the palette.

I do think this is a gorgeous palette, I would definitely recommend it especially if you don't have many neutral palettes. It can be found on special on some sites, you just might need to look around or google it to find a stockist.

So pretty and worth every penny!! Omg I'm in love. This is a definite yes lady's I love everything about it

I very recently was given this as a part of an early birthday present. After reading the reviews on here I really wanted to try it as i like neutrals and I have been dying to try 'Kitten' since I first saw it.

These shadows are super buttery and soft and amazingly easy to blend. I haven't experienced any fallout with them and - when using a primer - they stay on all day. The pigmentation is incredible and the shades themselves are beyond stunning.

I really love the simplistic packaging - it reminds me of something that looks recycled - which I personally like. It comes in a brown cardboard box. The palette itself is cardboard and shuts with a magnetic closure.

Included in this is a waterproof eyeliner pencil which is AMAZING. It is super soft and really wowed me with its pigmentation. If all of the Stila liners are like this then I want to collect all of them. The liner itself is easy to blend and is a twist up, rather than a sharpening liner.

Another feature I really liked about this palette is that it comes with a little booklet that gives you instructions on how to create six different looks. This is ideal if you are stuck with what to use.

This is an amazing palette and one I absolutely love. I am super keen to try Stila's other palettes as I am so, so impressed with this. It's absolutely stunning.
