Stila Kitten Summer Eyeshadow Palette – swatches

August 6, 2008 Paris B 11 Comments

A while ago, I mentioned that Stila had a new eyeshadow palette for summer – the Kitten Palette. Well, last weekend I finally remembered it and got a chance to check it out!

The first thing I noticed is that the Stila palettes have gone up in price. They are now retailing for RM190 each (6 colours) instead of the RM128 it was previously. Boo! So, even if I have good things to say about the Stila palette, I will balk at paying the terribly high price for what is a tiny little palette. Maybe I’ll try to source it from eleswhere.

The colours are lovely though. I found the texture soft and pigmented, just how Stila eyeshadows are. 4 of the colours are neutral tones and the last 2 stick out a bit in my opinion. Here are some swatches I took:-

All the colours are shimmery and slightly on the sheer side. You can see that 4 of the colours look very light, while Mystic and Ray are much darker. These last 2 colours threw me for a loop. I know for a fact I’d never be able to pull Ray off as it is way too warm for my skin tone. So, that means if I get this palette, I’d only have 5 workable colours.

Secondly, I already have a previous neutral Stila palette with Sun, Wheat and Kitten. That’s 3 out of 6 colours, 50% that I already own. So, paying for only 3 more new colours (1 of which doesn’t work for me) makes it a very expensive investment indeed!

I guess this tells you that I’m passing on the Stila Kitten palette. Not because I dislike it, but simply because its too expensive for me to justify getting it. Now, if I could get it at a discount, I might change my mind altogether!

P/S Have you entered the Maybelline Contest? Its easy peasy and its fun! Don’t forget that comments close 08-08-08 which is only 2 days away! 🙂

    So pretty! Ray looks excellent. But yeah, prices of high end cosmetics are getting so expensive! Stila didn’t use to be this pricey 🙁

    I tried this palette but sadly they are all too similar and washed out on me. and I think the price is a bit steep for the tiny palette.

    they all look different on you and nicely shimmers too

    Wow, thanks for the swatches. The colours are quite pretty, but how I wish they would release more exciting stuff.
    And gee the pricing is just not worth it. I hate it when they up the prices in Malaysia!

    Connie: Stila used to be affordable but now its up there with the high end brands which is sucky.

    Nikki: Its really pretty honestly. I hope you get to see it soon!

    Jojoba: Yeah the colours show up, but the price was too horrendous. I wonder if Stila’s affected by that.

    rinnah: Better get it before the price goes up again!

    Monstro: Yep, paying RM198 for 3 new colours is shocking!

    prettybeautiful: It indeed is a lovely summer palette!

    Everything’s going up. i just stopped by Bobbi Brown to check out the new Mauve collection (which is gorgeous by the way!)… her eyeshadows are now RM70 (up RM10) and for a smaller amount! The SA tried to tell me that it was actually more, but I know for a fact that the old round packaging had 3.something grams and the new (more expensive) square packaging has only 2.something grams. Shame. I don’t know why she had to do that. Sorry kinda off topic but I had to vent.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
