Stila In the Light Palette

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 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 ;)

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

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.

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.
