Swatches
Steps- Apply the white cream shadow from the palette all over the lids
- Using the shade A from the palette, apply all over the lids over the cream shadow
- Apply shade B from the palette from the lash line and blend it up to the double eyelid fold, but leaving the inner corner of the upper eyelid untouched
- Pack a little more of shade A onto the inner corner
- Tight line and also line upper eyelids with liquid eyeliner
- Line the lower eyelid using the beige pencil liner
- Go over the pencil liner with shade C from the palette
- Apply shade D from the palette in the middle of the lower eyelid, close to the lashes, below the pupil
- Using the Etude House Petite Darling Eyes in #1, which is a matte vanilla shade, apply it under the brows
- Apply mascara base and mascara on upper lashes (I don't have a lot of lower lashes, so I didn't apply any mascara on them :p)
- First, fill in the brows with the middle shade from the Canmake eyebrow powder, then repeat with the darkest shade
That's all! Thanks for reading! Happy new year everyone! All the best for the upcoming 2012!! Bye~~~!

Stila In The Light Eye Shadow Palette
I have been making small hauls (really small, like 2 or 3 items per haul) from asos.com recently, taking advantage of its offerings of free international shipping and occasional discounts.
The only makeup item I've got from
asos.com is the
Stila In The Light Eye Shadow Palette. At 25 pounds (about
SGD51.91), its not the cheapest palette around, but I do think it is quite a good deal as there are eight eye shadows and an eyeliner in this palette.
Description: Natural eyeshadow palette by Stila. Featuring a selection of long-lasting eyeshadows in soft neutral hues with matte and shimmer finishes and an exclusive smudge stick waterproof eyeliner with a look book on how-to create the looks.
The eyeshadows as well as the eyeliner are all made in U.S.A.
From top row left to right:
- Bare: Matte ivory
- Kitten: Shimmery beige
- Bliss: Matte beige pink
- Sunset: Shimmery canyon pink
- Sandstone: Matte light coco
Bottom row left to right:
- Gilded Gold: Golden brown with shimmer
- Luster: Dark aubergine with gold shimmer
- Night Sky: Blue with shimmer
- Ebony: Black
Smudge Stick in Damsel: Matte brown
Description of the colours are from
asos.com.
I currently do not own any Stila eyeshadows, but I have bought the eyeshadow single in the shade Kitten before (that was like six years ago) and I really liked it back then. There was a very short period of time when I was quite into Stila makeup but that phrase did not last very long (but I can't remember why I stopped buying their products..)
Below are the six looks from the look book.
When I first opened this palette I though the colours somewhat reminds me of the Urban Decay Naked palette..
I would not say these two palettes are the same, but the colours somewhat looks similar.
As per usual, I have yet to swatch the palette yet.....
That's all for today! Thanks for reading!! Bye! ^-^
