Today has been a wonderful mail day. I got something I’ve been wanting, and something from a brand that I’ve never tried, both from a dear and very helpful friend in the USA.
Stila Precious Pearl Palette – Spring 2009 US$40
Ever since I first saw it online I knew I had to get this Stila palette. Stila has not excited me very much recently but the new Precious Pearl palette harkens back to the Stila days of yore.
The palette actually feels very substantial with a good weight unlike other palettes which have been a little light. The mother of pearl inlay in the top is lovely as are all the colours which they say contain genuine pearl. I can’t swatch them properly here in the office so you’ll have to wait till I get home and get some proper light 
I’m not sure when we’ll get this palette here in Malaysia. I only knew I couldn’t wait for it. 
Lorac Multi-Platinum Palette – US$37
Lorac is a brand I’ve never tried nor heard very much of, but I liked the look of this Sephora-exclusive palette.
The reviews on Sephora of this palette were good and the colours appeal to me. I reckoned a palette was a good way to try a brand I’d never used before and besides the packaging looked awesome too! It looks just like a metallic clutch.
Ooh what a fun start to the weekend!
Stay beautiful,
Paris B

eep!!!! it’s pretty! just like the muse told me
i so need to go find out if this is here!
Hi plue
Do let us know when you know. I’m wondering when it’ll come in myself. Its worth saving up for!
Oh the Lorac palette cover is so chic! I didn’t get any Lorac stuff from Sephora when I was there. Now I’m thinking I should have.
Hi Tine
I’m in love with the Lorac palette too – its really nice and I can’t wait to see how it performs
i like the lorac palette better. that black looks great
Hi jojoba
Both get the thumbs up from me – the Stila colours are really vibrant.
OMG! Lucky you, Paris! I like both palettes. Well, cos I just love makeups in palettes. what more with such pretty colours, esp the Stila one with genuine pearls. I’d like to try that! I haven’t heard of Lorac brand. But from the look of it, it should be good. I esp like the black e/s with visible shimmer in it!
Happy trying out your playthings…
Have a nice weekend.
P.s. btw, do you like Victoria’s Secret clothing?
Hi Vonvon
Thanks. The Stila palette should be here in a couple of months. I haven’t worn anything from Victoria Secret actually. LOL.
WOW! That is indeed a great way to spend Valentine’s day! Play with these colors!
Hi Nikki
Haha… I should have… but I didn’t
aiyoooo I love the Pearl Pallete!!! Hate you ParisB. You have so many pretty things!!!
*sniff sniff*
Hi notcute
Yes its very pretty. Save up for it. I did.
Both palettes are very pretty. I love the packaging of the Lorac palette and that black looks gorgeous!
Hi Gio
I did not expect the black but yep it looks amazing! I’ll swatch it later.

Hi giddy tigress
The Lorac, the Lorac!
Me wans the Lorac!
Hi Monstro
You know what to look for now eh?
How I wish… I get this as a present from anybody… I shall just look at the pictures here… See See Look Look no Touchiee…
Hi ParisB,
Hmm… Would like to ask you rite… like making purchases from Strawberry.Net what kinda transactions do you use??? Hmm… I wanna get something for my God Sis… She loves makeup. Thought of getting something special for her that cannot be found here in KL. Hmm… I never purchased anything online before besides the samples I got from LowYat.Net and those are only Bank transfers…
Thanx
Hi notcute
You can use a credit card with strawberrynet. I’ve never had problems with them before but experiences might vary.
Hi ParisB,
I think by the time I save up they are gone… USD40 is so pricey… I hardly wear eye makeup. Mebbe while saving I’ll think whether to get or not =P hehehehhe I really like pearly items…
hey! thank a lot for the mail you send telling me the I nouvi stuff!
by the way, this stila palatte seem promising, maybe because i like mother of pearl very much, so whatever has it in seem great! LOL
yay you got the Stila palette! And that Lorac palette is good too especially the blush! If I didn’t already have that same blush in another palette, I would’ve gotten that palette too when it came out.
