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! ^-^

Review: Urban Decay Clean & Sober

I tried the Urban Decay Clean & Sober for the first time yesterday and I am ready to give my verdict.
image from http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/CleanandSober.cfm

Description: Sweep away your daily transgressions with our soothing gel-based makeup remover. Mild cleansers, coupled with botanicals like jasmine, sacred lotus and manuka honey effortlessly dissolve makeup, while a touch of lavender scent provides much-needed serenity. The oil-free formula leaves skin soft and refreshed and won’t irritate eyes, leaving you free to explore your other vices.

Pros: Able to remove most of my eye makeup with one wipe. Comes with a pump so its easy to control the amount of product dispensed.

Cons: Stings my eyes a lot!! So much so that my eyes teared and my nose also started to 'drip' too!

I wanted to like this so much, as it really cleanses well! But it stings so much that I cannot bare to put myself through the torture again. Good thing that I got it free at Sephora. I most definitely will not attempt to remove my eye makeup with this. I guess I will use it on my lips instead.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

Finally! I got my naughty paws on the famous Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil! My BF sponsored one of it =D


I debated for some time before deciding on getting Stash and Oil Slick. Stash is described as "dark green/gold " and "Oil Slick" is described as "black with teeny silver glitter". Crash, Bourbon and Rockstar were also on my "Considered List", guess I may buy them in the future! Hehe~!

I was really lemming for Oil Slick ever since I saw it being used in a tutorial on one of the blogs I have been following. At that time, Urban Decay was not available, so I am really very glad that Sephora finally brought it in!




I have not tried these eyeliners yet as I am sticking to my first-in-first-out rule but I have swatched them at the back of my hands at Sephora and they really glide on very smoothly and after a few minutes, they doesn't come off despite that I kept rubbing. Hope they will last well on my eyelids too!!

Sephora was having a promotion then, with any two purchases, there will be a $120 worth of GWP.


The GWP consists of a retail size Clean and Sober (gel-based makeup remover), 2 retail size eyeshadows in Midnight Cowboy and Goddess, 2 sachets of eyeshadow primer potion in Original and Sin and 2 travel sized 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Covet and Electric.
