Easy to wear all-over lid color
I have this product in the shade Kitten, one of Stila's best-known shades. It's a shimmery pinky nude and works great as everything from an all-over color to a highlight shade. The packaging is not to die for, it's a plain black snap-close shadow case but it feels fairly secure and durable. The product itself is a powder with a cream texture and applies easily and evenly. I love using this as an all-over lid color for everyday makeup looks.

Great color payoff
At first I wasn't much into Stila because their colors aren't bold and bright like MAC or Urban Decay ... but they do blend really well and they have good color pay off. Good for natural eyeshadow looks, soft color looks, or smokey eyes. It's good to stock up when they have their warehouse sale! ;-)

"It girl trio"
I bought the it girl trio from ulta for TEN DOLLARS.. it comes with lame, chloe, and kitten... TEN DOLLARS.. correct me if im wrong but these are FULL sized.. I dont think i would pay 18$ for each of these though.. i always find the stila refil pans for like 7.99 at nordstrom rack, which im happy with. looveee the colors, pigmentation and so forth.

One of my all-time favorites

I just keep going back to this eyeshadow. It's hard to find that perfect base that has the right tone warm and cool, the right balance of shimmer, and the right pigment. Stila Starlight most definitely fits all of that criteria. Starlight is a brighter version of my skin, a fair beige that seems to melt on my skintone and make it glow. It's the ultimate eye shadow wash, and can be worn with virtually ANY color. I like that it doesn't have the frost of say, Stila Kitten, but it's not completely matte either. The proper balance of shimmer is essential when looking for an everyday shadow with some oomph to it. In the photo, I am wearing it with a taupe and sapphire colored eyeliner. See how the shadow just glows? It's amazing stuff. With so many neutral wash shades on the market, I keep coming back to this because it's one of the best.

One of the industry's most beautiful taupes...

Diamond Lil is a diamond in the eye shadow rough! It's a light-medium iridescent taupey grey with subtle golden undertones. it's quite possibly one of the most unique taupes I've ever seen. Usually taupes lean either very gray or very brown, but Diamond lil balances its gray base well with a warm overcast. It's a beautiful neutral and I wear it a lot with dark brown eyeliners (like the picture), or even with bright eye liners to balance their intensity. It's a very soft texture and even a bit crumbly so be careful when handling this, otherwise, a definite winner from Stila!
