Stila Masterpiece Series Eye and Cheek Palettes

The cosmetic brands of the world are introducing their Holiday 2013 collections right now and I am excited to show you an amazing product from Stila.  It is their Masterpiece Series Eye and Cheek Palettes.  The three palettes come together in a case and are separated into Volumes 1, 2 and 3.  Each palette contains 5 eyeshadows and 1 universally flattering blush shade.  It retails for $39 and can be found on their website as well as anywhere else that Stila is carried.

The 3 different “volumes” are called The Minimalist Palette, The Impressionist Palette and The Modernist Palette.

I do apologize for the photos of the palette of colors themselves, the palette had a shiny finish and as a result I was having a difficult time capturing the true shades.

As you can see, each palette has a color theme and is filled with amazing shades.  There are only two individual shades that I was disappointed with and that was shade #2 in the Minimalist palette called “Simplicity” and shade #5 in the Modernist palette called “Charcoal”.  They were the only two shades in the entire collection that were lacking intense pigmentation.  Out of 18 different products in the palettes that is VERY impressive.  And to be completely honest, the fact that “Charcoal” isn’t highly pigmented actually makes me appreciate it a little more.  Sometimes I find black/dark grey hard to work with when it is TOO dark.  I feel like the fact that it is hard to build up will work in my favor when deepening my crease/outer-v.

Overall I give the Stila Masterpiece Series Eye and Cheek Palettes 4.5 out of 5 stars.  It is a terrific palette, perfect as a gift for a friend or yourself.  The fact that it is less than $40 is really exciting.  Stila is brand known for quality product and getting this many shades is really a steal!
