Stila Palette: Review ♡


A beautiful palette consisting of 10 natural Eye Shadow shades (including the best-selling shade Kitten) and a limited-edition Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner. I have all 4 of these palettes and i honestly love them all! I purchased mine from Mecca Cosmetica ( $62 AUD) The price is abit extreme but they where so worth it and really good for beginners with make up! so I'm going to go through each palette and let you guys know my experience with the Stila Palettes. 
1# Stila In The Light Palette: Okay so I have fallen in love with this palette mainly because of the Famous shadow Kitten, I use this palette almost everyday! It definitely has all the colours you will ever need! I recently did a video on my everyday makeup retinue using this palette on the eye! (Everyday Makeup ♡ | Amber Lorraine) So check that out if you would like to see how I use the Stila in the Light Palette!  and a limited-edition Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel, a matte chocolate brown that comes with the palette and i must say I wasn't a big fan of it! it's a good texture and very pigmented, I just don't like the look of it on myself! maybe I'm using it wrong? if you's have used it leave a comment and let me know! and it also comes with an eight-page lookbook with detailed how-to tips and tricks, which is great! 
2# Stila In The Moment Eye  Palette: The palette is great! I really loved using it when i wanted a pop of purple! With life's everyday pleasures with this beautiful collection of Stila's award-winning eye shadows, featuring a mix of pretty purples and ultra-wearable, neutral shades that flatter every skin tone and can be worn wet or dry. The palette also includes another exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Tetra, a deep shimmery purple, and also instructive eight-page look book with comprehensive application tips and tricks.

3# Stila In The Garden Eye  Palette: So I'm really loving this palette as well! the colours are to die for! My Favourite at the moment is moss! It isn't a colour I would go for but it really compliments my blonde hair and blue eyes! so many gorgeous Shades, Palette also includes another exclusive Smudge Stick shade in Starfish (black with gold and green pearl sparkle).

4#Stila  In the Know Eye Palette : Wow this palette has to be everyone's favourite matte shades all in one palette! Stilas original matte shades are back! and in this beautiful palette! I'm so glad i brought this because it is another palette I use almost everyday when I feel like I have been abusing my In the Light Palette! The palette also includes another exclusive Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Halfmoon, a matte charcoal grey shade, plus eight-page look book with detailed application tips and tricks.


So that is about it for my Stila Palette review! I hope yous all enjoyed reading it and if you's use Stila Products or one of these palettes let me know!

4# Lush Catastrophe cosmetic mask: ($16.95 AUD)  Wow this face mask is truly amazing and you see results! my skin gets very dry and very red, so with Fresh blueberries that are are rich in beneficial antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to reduce inflammation and act as a mild antiseptic it really does help with the redness of blemishes that i tend to get! Soothing chamomile, Irish moss and almond oil work with the gentle cleansing action of calamine to saves  the skin. i apply it to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave for five to ten minutes, then rinse away with warm water, or i jump in the shower and let warm water wash it off! 

5# Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub: ($12.95 AUD)   9.99% of the time I'm faked tanned! So all my Fake tanning girls out there understand how much of a pain in the butt it is to remove it! I use to avoid going outside when my tan would start to patch and look like i had some sort of a disease, but not anymore! this 
scrub honestly removes it with in one go! It is also really good if you have break outs on you shoulders or anywhere on your body ingrown hairs on your legs and dry and flaky skin, this would be perfect for you! The Sea salt is gently exfoliating, extra cleansing and mineral-rich. After scrubbing, it dissolves in water. The blue scrub is startlingly refreshing, with a dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossom. 

#6 Rose Jam Shower Gel 250 G : ( $16.95 AUD)  So I have been trying to get my hand back on this baby since after Christmas and i was told it only comes out Christmas time! i was devastated! but they do sell it online at Lush Cosmetics Australia. It is truly amazing i have never smelt something so yummy before! My Boyfriend and I used the whole thing! it is to die for! The benefits of nourishing argan oil, this shower gel is a decadent as it gets!  Skin brightening goji berry juice and Sicilian lemon give your skin a boost, while rose oil and rose absolute leave it soothed, softened and beautifully fragranced.  A luxurious way to start each day.   

7# Sea Spray : ( $12.50 AUD )  I really do love this spray! when i curl my hair i spray some of this in my hair and it gives my curls i nice texture and a beach hair effect that we all love and want! Sometimes after i get out of the shower after washing my hair i will spray a few sprays of this to give it a nice bit of volume when i wake up in the morning! but this one leaves you fresh, uplifted and perfumed. A salty spritz that gives body, volume and hold. Sea Spray can be used in many ways to give hold and style, apply before blow-drying or apply to dry hair and work through for beach waves. Gives shine to the hair and has a beautiful perfume of orange flower absolute, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood oils.

8# Mask of Magnaminty: ( $25 AUD) Wow this mask is amazing it definitely has a minty smell to it! i use the mask weekly, it just keeps my skin in good condition! isn’t technically a daily ‘facial wash’; it’s actually a deep cleansing face and back mask. China clay and fresh peppermint reach deep down to pull the debris from your pores, giving you that delightful tingly-clean sensation. We add loads of aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe. Our inventors created Mask of Magnaminty to be the ‘ultimate face mask’, intense but not harsh or abrasive on the skin.

My blonde hair is natural i get it died every 3 months! and its really drying on my hair, this hair mask Softness, shine and conditioning your blonde hair, Marilyn is for blondes who would like to stay blonde and become even blonder, in a gentle, shiny, and natural way (even if they didn’t become blonde naturally). Lush make it by hand with softening linseed gel which is full of protein, vitamins and minerals to hydrate and strengthen hair. Lush uses chamomile for lightness and to calm your scalp, saffron for golden color and lemon for shine. Marilyn moisturizes damaged hair and brings out natural blond tones with regular use, making hair look more vibrant.

10# Dream Cream : ( $27 AUD )  I have very dry skin, It's horrible! I'm always on the look out for something really moisturizing! Dream cream is perfect, I really enjoy the smell and the texture of it, it is very heavy and just leaves you feeling so soft! It transforms suffering bodies into states of peace with our calming blend of oat milk, lavender and chamomile to care for irritations, reduce redness, and banish blotches. Olive oil and cocoa butter are perfectly suited and incredibly effective for dry or chapped skin, and especially gentle for even the most sensitive types.
