Stila in the Garden eye shadow palette Review

RATING – 8 OUT OF 10
Last time I reviewed Stila in the moment eye shadow palette, and today I am going to review another palette by Stila cosmetics named Stila in the Garden eye shadow palette. I pretty much like this palette. It has got 10 eyeshadows. And one Stila smudge stick eye liner named Starfish.


What Stila says about their in the garden eye shadow palette ? : The new In the Garden Eye Shadow Palette is a stunning collection of Stila's award-winning eye shadows in wearable, botanical-inspired shades for every skin tone. The palette also includes an exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Starfish (black with gold and green pearl), and an 8-page look book with detailed how-to tips and tricks. A gorgeous, palette with 10 shades of Stila's award-winning eye shadow formula that can be worn wet or dry. Shades include:

  • Chinois - matte creamy white
  • Breeze - shimmery beige
  • Bark - shimmery taupe
  • Freesia - shimmery violet blue
  • Rosette - metallic pink violet
  • Nectar - matte creamy beige
  • Honey - metallic bronze gold
  • Sage - shimmery translucent green
  • Moss - dark olive green with shimmer
  • Juniper - deep shimmery forest green

Palette also includes an exclusive Smudge Stick shade in Starfish (black with gold and green pearl sparkle).

Overall the eyeshadow shades are quite good, and the smudge stick is a black eye liner with a tint of green in it and has golden particles in it too. The eyeshadows are not at all chalky or powdery, infact all are smooth and silky. The Stila in the Garden eye shadow palette is most appropriate for getting smokey eyes, the color combinations are likeable.

However the Starfish smudge stick does not give good color off and kind of dry. You need to apply a number of times to get a proper line which is visible. And this smudge stick is not retractable, so do not twist up a lot, otherwise the eye liner will be good enough to be thrown in the dustbin. Many of the eyeshadows in the Stila in the Garden eye shadow palette are not matte and has a frosted finish, which I really do not like. The cost of this entire Stila palette is US $ 39. If you are in India you can get it online only. I bought it from Amazon.

STILA SMUDGE POTS

Rating : - 8.5 out of 10

For sexy eyes, smudge pots is a must in your make-up kitty. This is a 2 in 1 formulae, which acts both as an eyeliner and also as an eyeshadow. Use it with an angled brush or eyeliner brush, and see the difference! The best thing is that, STILA smudge pots are creamy and too smooth to glide on. Thus perfect for lining your eyes, to create sexy cat eyes. Or sultry smokey eyes.

Highly pigmented and stays on for a long time, with getting smudged or creased. A gel liner basically, which can be applied both on your lower and upper lashline. But remember, it dries up quickly, so if you wanna smudge it, do it as soon as you have applied it on your eyelids. Apply a very small amount. You dont need a lot of the product. And after you have used it, close the lid properly.

0.14 oz for US $ 20. But i think, you dont need to repurchase it within a year, even if you use it frequently. Wonderful product!
