Hi Pretties! Are you enjoying the holiday season? I am! I’m especially enjoying all of the baked goodies that go along with Christmas! I’m sure I’ll regret that in a few weeks when my pants are uncomfortably tight! But enough about me… on to the good stuff! Sing it with me! On the ELEVENTH day of Christmas, Sephora gave to me… Stila Eyes are the Window Shadow Palette – Mind! Such a great palette, and one I haven’t really heard much about. This palette has all matte shadows, which is super duper exciting. We can’t look shiny and shimmery all the time, can we? This palette of goodness is full of gorgeous neutrals that are ideal for day-to-day wear – working women of the world, this one’s for you! Now, I know what you’re thinking, “just what I need, more neutrals!” Well, ‘A’ of all, there is no such thing as too many neutrals, and ‘B’ of all, there are some colorful surprises to be found in this palette. I’m obsessed with the rusty orange shade called Perception – so different from anything else in my arsenal, and the deep plummy purple shade called Thinker is my jam! Love smudging it along my lash line. As far as texture, some shades are a bit powdery, but most have a nice texture and blend easily. Keep in mind that the pigmentation, while good, is not the BAM-in-your-face pigmentation that you find with brands like Urban Decay. Rather these shadows are perfect for giving you a wash of color but can be built up for more oomph. As for the longevity, I think its fairly good – I would recommend a primer, especially if you have oily lids like me. All in all, a solid addition to my embarrassingly large palette collection (Woe to me for my makeup addiction! I’m one sick cookie!) This palette retails for $49.00 and can be purchased from Sephora, Ulta, or the Stila website. I didn’t swatch all of the shades – just a select few – but if that’s something you’d like to see, let me know in the comments! Hope you’ve got all of your shopping done!
