Like most recent college grads, my budget isn't exactly extravagant. My tastes, however, can be more so. This crossroads seems to be a frequently place I find my self as a lover of beauty products. I enjoy nice things and I don't mind spending the money on them when they are truly worth it. So for todays first in the series, worth it or not, I'll be reviewing
Stila's In the Light Palette.
Now, some people are super great with random eye colors and can come up with brilliant ideas from several different single shadows. Others, well they need a palette or someone to lay it out in an easy path for them. Whether you fall into the former or latter category, this Stila palette is a great choice.
I got this one at the beginning of summer after seeing the
Kitten color, a must have color in life, on a friend at work. Being the curious person I am, I asked about the color and she told me about this palette and how she'd already pretty much used up the one color. So of course I quickly proceeded to go online and start researching it. I like to bargain hunt so I started searching around to see how I could get it at the best price. I clicked my way over to the
birchbox website, saw free shipping on the item and knew I had some birchbox shop bucks built up so into my online shopping cart this little beauty went.
So it is worth it or not? I'd say yes! This palette is a great one for life in general. You can do so much with it that if I was only packing one eye palette for travel, I'd pick this one every time. Plus it comes with a stila liner and a little booklet that helps you figure out looks to do. It's compact and very versatile. If you don't want to bunch of random shadows or you are looking for a great palette for every day, I'd definitely recommend this one.
