A while ago, I mentioned that Stila had a new eyeshadow palette for summer – the Kitten Palette<\/a>. Well, last weekend I finally remembered it and got a chance to check it out!<\/p>\n The first thing I noticed is that the Stila palettes have gone up in price. They are now retailing for RM190 each <\/strong>(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.<\/p>\n 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:-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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!<\/p>\n 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>\n
