Zoom In On: Stila All Dolled Up Eyeshadow Palette

An online friend texted me two weeks ago and excitedly informed me that the widely-popular Stilla All Dolled Up Eyeshadow Palette is now in Manila. She asked me if I wanted her to get one for me. I initially hesitate because then, I did not know much about Stila and about this palette. I’ve heard of the brand but I was not really that interested to try it out. My friend said that these palettes will be limited edition and that it was expected that before the week would end, all of the palettes would have been sold. Her enthusiasm bowled me over and so I decided to get one and see for myself what the fuss was about.

When I had this in my hands, I was so ecstatic. Imagine spending only Php 1,250 and getting 12 highly-pigmented colors that are very easy to blend? Another high point for me is the fact that I have the exact same palette that Temptalia raved about and the forever-OOS item that a million of girls worldwide have searched high and low to buy. I consider this one of my make-up best buys indeed. The colors are varied. Some can be worn during the day while the others are more appropriate for night outs making this a truly versatile palette. Most, if not all, shades are shimmery so if you’re a gal who prefers matte shadows, this is not for you. Personally, I don’t mind since there are some shades that have low-intensity shimmers and I can get away with wearing them even in broad daylight. The pink hologram Barbie cover is also very attractive and appealed greatly to my typical “girly-girl” self. The shadows tend to crumble easily though so it is a must to handle this item with utmost care.
