Stila In the Light Palette

After seeing not only beauty gurus rave about Stila and there amazing products! But celebrities like Mindy Kaling also rave, I thought it was about time I to tried them out!

Boy I am so glad I did! Ive always been in love with basic eyeshadow looks, but this palette turns something basic into something beautiful. Not only is the packaging cute (literally I could not stop staring!) but each shade after shade is as beautiful as the last! The eyeshadows have such high pigmentation which means a little does go a long way!

It is perfect for not only an everyday look, but also for those nights where you want your eyes to pop! LOVE LOVE LOVE STILA IN THE LIGHT!

i lovethis palette! souper pretty, pigemented and long lasting! nice colours to work with and the eyeliner is super nice too! would recomend

you can create subtle and dramatic looks with this palette, it is a good travelling palette and everything is highly pigmented and easily blendable, also there is bearly ever fallout

My first neutral palette and I love it. I use it most days I wear make up, great for every day looks and a good range of mattes and shimmers. Shadows are buttery and easy to blend

This is my first 'high end' makeup product that I bought by myself. And man was it worth the money! So it is pricey, I got mine from Mecca for $81 but I worked hard and saved up. If you think about it you get 10 shadows that will last for a super looong time, so it is not too much of a stretch. I save this palette for special occasions as it is so pretty, but do find myself reaching for the colour bliss on a daily basis too. My favourite colours are bliss and sunset. I love the quality of these shadows, they are very easy to blend and incredibly pigmented. Very highly recommend!

I have been obsessed with this palette ever since I purchased it! The shadows are great warm neutrals, that are pigmented and smooth. It also comes with a deep brown eye liner that compliments the shadow colors perfectly!

I use this palette to create pretty everyday wearable looks as well as sultry night time looks, it is very versatile! It is great to travel with as you won't need anything else! I really love and enjoy every shadow and I think if you love warm colors its perfect! The 10 shadows will last you a long time as a little goes a long way, they blend so easily, especially if you use an eye primer.

There is a good mix of shimmer and matte colors, my favorite shades...

Bare- Great matte brow/ all over lid color, however it is not as pigmented as the other shadows.

Kitten-This is a must have! Famous Stila shade that is highly pigmented! Fab lid color that will attract a lot of attention!

Bliss- Matte pinky/taupe crease color, perfect I love this one!

Sunset- MY FAVORITE! This color is beautiful and unique! Its a warm reddish/ copper color, with shimmer. It looks great on the lid or even blended out into the crease.

Ebony- Matte black, looks great on the outer v of the eye to add depth, simple but always good to have a shade like this!

Sandstone- Matte deep brown, amazing color can't get enough of this!

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!
