Stila's 'In the Light' Palette makes for a great everyday eye. For those who love golden and bronze colors I think this is for you. As an eyeshadow lover I gravitate towards these kind of colors mostly everyday. No matter how many neutral eye shadows I have, I seem to collect more and more out of any other shade. I think this palette is well suited for any eye color really, I have brown eyes and I love created a warm smokey eye. The colors are great for the day because you can use the slightest hint of color to polish your look off, or you can amp it up by intensifying the crease area with colors like luster & night sky. The eyeshadows do have a slight shimmery metallic tinge to them, however it's not overly sparkly when applied to the skin. I am very pleased with this sample, I've been able to get multiple uses out of it, and many of the colors are still present on the sample card.
Texture & Application: The first thing that I noticed about these shadows is how well the brushes pick up the pigment, with a swipe or two I had enough eyeshadow to cover my lid. Even when you swipe your finger a generous amount comes on without any fall out! Thing to note here is no fall out at all. All the colors transfer amazingly to the skin, they look silky and blend easily compared to other shadows that are chalky and sit on the surface.
Price point is around $50, and the full size palette comes with an eyeliner. Although more of a high end palette, I think the colors are all wearable and of extremely high quality. Considering my experience with this palette I would definitely grab it given the opportunity. Especially for the summer months it's great cause you can wear eyeshadow without feeling too over done.
I also really liked how the palette came with this guide, it gives you a suggestion of possible looks!

Thanks my dear, I actually was mistaken about the price. Even though it is kinda high ($50 and not $39) I think I would still splurge on it.
DeleteIt's actually $50 :( I want this so badly as it looks so pretty and wearable. I love the idea of this sample card too, so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, now that I'm on the site I have no clue where I got that number from. Possibly the American Sephora. Anyways thanks a bunch for catching that mistake. There's just something so appealing about the palette, the colors are so soft. I have no clue if I make sense but like you can create such a light look with it, and that's what I love. You can transform it from a delicate look, to more edgy with a deeper colors. Thanks again<3
DeleteIt is a bit pricey but I would probably buy this when I get paid. The colours are pretty essential and perfect to take away on holiday. Would rather take this with me than taking my pots of MAC eyeshadows, ha!

That's why I love the palette so much, essential colors that can be altered depending on your mood/style. The palette would definitely be much more easier to carry around then individual paint pots!:) Thanks for stopping by my blog<3
DeleteThis is definitely going on my wishlist! Great review!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely on my wishlist as well! Glad you liked:)
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely,I still haven't tried any stila products yet :( want to try the blushes too x
ReplyDeleteApart from this sample neither have I! I really like their convertible blushes though:)
DeleteI would definitely love to try this! Love all shades, they are so pretty and I've heard fab things about their eye shadows! Lovely post dear! <3 xx
ReplyDeleteI love all the shades as well, thanks girly:)
DeleteThe shades are so pretty! I have yet to try Stila, but really want to! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree, and all are extremely wearable and versatile:D
DeleteThis has been on my wishlist for forever. I was so close to buying it on sale from Beauty Bay several months ago, but somehow managed to exercise unbelievable self-restraint. I'm kind of regretting it now, especially since that sale is unlikely to be repeated soon and the Australian dollar has fell :p
ReplyDeleteWow good for you lol! It sucks when you resist purchasing something however instead of feeling proud you feel regretful. It's happened to me as well!!
DeleteThis is a beautiful palette, but it's so similar to what I have in the Naked series that unless it's a ridiculously good deal, I can't justify buying it! Great review Sabina, the no fall out part is especially good to know!
ReplyDeleteSee if I had the naked I think I could resist..I just really like this palette though haha, who knows when I'll break down and buy. I still am working on the sample palette which is awesome:)
