When I saw this palette, I was on a hunt for it because it was sold out at Ulta. I am becoming a Stila fan and the colors and purpose of this palette completely grabbed my attention! I had to order in online and I am thrilled that I did because it is beautiful!
Each year, Stila dedicates some of their products to Breast Cancer Awareness (check out my Stila Positively Pink Palette Review) and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Like the Positively Palette, I love the packaging. I don't this it is very sturdy packaging, but the overall design is gorgeous! I just love the illustration in the front, as it makes it look very pretty and feminine.
This palette contains 5 gorgeous pink/plum eyeshadows and one duo lip/cheek tint. Each shade is named after positive thought that relates to hope, strength and courage:
- Spirit: light shimmery white pink (center)
- Exquisite: slightly shimmery light pink (top left)
- Aspire: shimmery medium pink (right)
- Resolve: matte mauve (left)
- Bold: dark matte plummy mauve (bottom right)
- Hope: bright pink for lips and cheeks (bottom)
(From the left: Exquisite, Aspire, Resolve and Bold [silly me...I forgot to swatch Spirit])
Hope duo lip & cheek cream
The texture of these shadows are quite nice. Granted, they are not the best and most pigmented I have ever tried, BUT they are still absolutely gorgeous! I wore these shades on my eyes for the Breast Cancer Awareness walk that I did and it had pretty decent staying power. It really lasted all day after walking, dancing and showing support.
Overall, I do love this palette. I probably wouldn't wear all of the shadows at once, because its a bit too pink for me, but mixing it up with some other shadows, especially Bold, for the Fall is going to be absolutely gorgeous!!!
Have you tried this beautiful palette from Stila?
What are your favorite products that pay tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness?
Those are lovely! The packaging is so chic, too! I also noticed these were sold out at my local ULTA, but I wasn't too bummed, because it means lots of other ladies were in there loading up on items that benefit breast cancer research--always a win-win. :)

DeleteGorgeous palette x x
ReplyDeleteisnt it just lovely???
Deletefor me all these pink palletes are a bit weird, more like blushes. but you are right - you don't have to wear all them together, just by using some color probably you would get a nice look. unfortunately i am not that experienced to experiment with pinks. nice swatches anyway :)
ReplyDeleteim not experienced with pinks either...but that one plum color is my favorite!!
