In any event, I went by last week to check it out, and a lot of stuff was already unavailable, but I was informed that new items would be back in weekly. Undeterred, I bought a bunch of unexciting stuff, just to placate myself. Naturally, I went back today.
I got a ton of stuff, because it's all so very worth it! And it's pretty nice stuff too! I did a couple of swatches, but left the individual eyeshadows alone because I don't have a palette for them yet. This needs to be rectified immediately.
Anyway, here are pics and prices of what I got. You may want to go take a look too.
First up, the Stila Eye Shadow Trio in 'Warm' (RM 50):
It comes in a pretty little round box, which will easily fit into your purse.
They don't give you the names of the individual colours, but I'm relatively certain they are available individually. In any event, this is a pretty good neutral palette which can be used daily. The colours are quite pigmented and slightly shimmery:
Next up, we have the Stila Talking Palette 'Complete Day to Night Look' (RM 70). For those of you who don't have friends, but love make-up, meet your new best friend:
It's not much bigger than any other compact, so it's ideal to carry around. The only improvement on this I could think of would be to have provided brushes with it. But, you can't have everything. It comes with a base, lid colour, crease colour, liner and cheek/lip colours, in colours which are absolutely gorgeous:
My camera is simply not doing justice to them (Feel free to send me a new one). The lid colour is a very pretty shimmery sea green. I like.
Now, for the talking part. On the inner lid of the box, there is this little button that you can press and a woman's voice will float out of the box telling you exactly what to do with which brush and colour and whatnot. It's like the new and updated version of those dancing balerinas in music boxes, but cooler because no one really wants to see an ugly plastic thing twirling to shrill music. In any event, for those of you who are not inclined to having someone tell you what to do, there is also a little fold out booklet which comes with it, that gives you instructions of how to apply the make up, and change it from day to night.
Next up, we have Stila Lip Pencils (RM 20/each):
The one on top is the Lip Liner in 'Contour No. 21', and the one at the bottom is the Glaze Lip Liner in 'Plum'. The colours are very, very pretty:
(Contour No. 21 is on top, and Plum is at the bottom)
I am not a fan of pink in general, but I do like this pink because it's very mellow and can tone down some darker shades. These can be used as a lip filler as well, so thumbs up for versatility and pigmentation!
I do love the plum shade. I am a ginormous fan of dark lipsticks, specifically red-toned ones.
Lastly, we come to the Eye Shadows (RM 25/each):
Now, because I'm lazy, you won't get labelled pictures. So deal with it. Anyway, I didn't swatch these because I refuse to open them, and you can't make me! At least until I get a palette for them.
However, the colours are as follows:
First Row:-
Shimmery green on top left: June Bug
Shimmery goldish green next to it: La Douce
Shimmery greyish brown next to it: Slate
Second Row:-
Matt brown: Coco
Shimmery copper brown: Jezebel
Shimmery pale blue: Lake
Third Row:
Eye Shadow Duo (Shade names not provided)
Upon closer inspection, and calmed excitement, I am pretty sure that Jezebel and the darker shade from the Duo are the same! But it's okay. Why have one good thing, when you can have two? That's right. There's no reason!
That's it for today. Exams end tomorrow, and until payday, there will probably be no more shopping. *Depression*
