Stila 'In the Light' eye-shadow palette

I would say I am probably more of a clothes addict than a make-up fiend BUT since I started blogging my interest in the world of beauty has definitely increased, so much so that I actually found myself getting very excited when I saw this product- the Stila 'In the light' eye palette in the Cambridge Boots whilst I was visiting there last weekend

After wanting to buy an Urban Decay Naked palette for such a long time I could never find a store that actually sold it, so after seeing Zoe's review for this over on Zoella I decided to start looking out for this instead. If it's good enough for Zoe then it's definitely good enough for me! (psst it's £10 cheaper too!)

The shades from left to right:
Top Row: 'bare', 'kitten', 'bliss', 'sunset' and 'sandstone'
Bottom Row: 'bubbly', 'gilded gold', 'luster', 'night sky' and 'ebony'

I really like the natural-ness (is that even a word?!) of the shades, I'm definitely a less-is-more type of girl and the different looks/blending opportunities really are endless.

Also what I thought was really nice is that they include a 'smudge stick' of waterproof eyeliner so you really can achieve a full look with the palette.

This morning I tried out their 'basic beauty' look as they also supply you with a little lookbook of how to achieve 6 different looks, this one is probably the most simplistic out of them all, the picture below doesn't quite do it justice!


Overall I'm really pleased with the palette, I think I am going to get a lot of wear out it and I'm looking forward to experimenting with all the shades. Have any of you been tempted by this palette or are you always going to stick to the Urban Decay palettes?

Definitely need to get a better eye make-up brush though, has anyone got any good makes/brushes they can recommend?

    Your eyes look lovely! The palette has some lovely shades and the pigmentation looks like it's really good. I love eco tool brushes...they're lovely and soft!

      Thanks Sophie :) I love that some of the shades are shimmer-y whilst some are more matte and they blend really well! Thanks I shall see if I can hunt down the eco tool brushes xx

      It's amazing and definitely good enough to not even seem like a dupe (if that makes sense?!) xx

    That is so much like the Naked palette, well, Naked 2 I think - and the MUA undressed (although the undressed palette is only £4, bargain!)
