It's been a little while since I posted a product review and I just have to positively rave about the new Stila Natural Eye Palette. I've heard pretty good things about this pretty little palette, so during my last trip to Sephora I went ahead and plunked down the $39 plus tax for this beauty.
You see, Stila makes some of my most favorite eye shadows and I see they're moving back towards "old school Stila" with well made, thoughtful palettes of all kinds.

My Review:
The Good: I am so impressed with this palette. Sometimes awesome makeup companies put together palettes like this and skimp on the quality. I did not find that with the Natural Eye Shadow palette. Each shadow wears beautifully and is totally blendable. I honestly think any skin tone would do well with this palette. Plus, there's a sweet little how-to book included.
The Bad: Normally I'd whine about the $39 pricetag, but in this instance it's worth it because the shadows (and pretty smudgestick) are of great quality so you truly don't have to pile on the product to achieve the desired effect. I would, however, have loved an included mirror and/or brush in the palette...but that may have pushed up the price tag.
The Review: A all the way. If you like Stila shadow, want to try some beautiful neutrals, like to experiment with colors that are soft and easy and like palettes, you'll love it. I do.
