Introduction and Stila palettes

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog which I've been meaning to start for ages. :) Much love and thanks to my sister Therese for enouraging me (that's the word I was looking for on the phone...hehe). I wanted to create this blog to share all my beauty purchases, as well as product reviews and anything beauty related! I'm in Canada and like many beauty addicts, I'm completely obsessed with Shoppers Drug Mart and their Optimum program. With that being said, there is a 20x the points day tomorrow; if you spend more than $50 and use the printable coupon found here: http://images.email.shoppersoptimum.ca/templates/2013/01_Jan/20x_Jan20_Coupon/SE.pdf?Category=Optimum

To kick this blog off, I'd like to share two of my newest and favourite palettes! Stila "In the Know" (the blue one) palette and Stila "In the Light" (the pink one). Both of these palettes contain ten shades and include a smudge stick waterproof eyeliner. The back of the boxes states, "Stila's award-winning eye shadows in 10 stunning shades that can be worn wet or dry."

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 Both palettes also come with a lookbook featuring six looks. I find the eyeshadows have great staying power and are nicely pigmented. "In the Know" contains all matte finishes, which I love and am always looking for in a palette. The smudge stick waterproof eye-liner included is in the shade Halfmoon, which is a dark gray. "In the Light" contains five matte shades and five shimmer, as well as a smudge stick waterproof eye-liner in Damsel; a dark brown - almost black colour. While I don't find these liners waterproof, I do find the staying power good; though I always use an eyelid primer before putting anything on my oily lids.

You can find these palettes at Shoppers Drug Mart as well as Sephora, and I believe they are $50 each.

Thanks for reading! :)

    1. Thanks for the follow! I followed you back! I agree that they are a bit pricey, but you can sometimes find them on ebay for cheaper. :) I should have mentioned that I bought the In the Know palette for $30, shipping included from ebay. Good deal!
