Stila Cosmetics Kaleidoscope Eye Shadow Duos & Road Less Travelled Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

This post contains swatches of 3 Stila eyeshadow palettes that were at my local Sephora store.

First up is the Kaleidoscope Eye Shadow Duos.

Stila Cosmetics Kaleidoscope Eye Shadow Duos

Brand’s description: Stila debuts its cult classic Kitten eye shadow reimagined as a prismatic jewel amongst other multi-chromatic blends. Specially curated for full-tilt versatility, the finely-milled, light-reflecting pigments blend seamlessly to deliver a multitude of prismatic color and dimension.

Ultra-soft shadow specially formulated to build, blend and stay put without glitter fall-out.
Blend of silica platelets coat the pigments allowing the particles to reflect a multi-dimensional spectrum of light into one seamless look.
Stila's special Kaleidoscope micas give off a multitude of prismatic color and dimension without the grittiness of traditional sparkling shadow pigments!

Apply with fingers or a firm, synthetic brush. Press onto lids and blend edges. Wear individually or layered.

I think these are AMAZINGGGGG. I haven’t been excited about a product for quite a while now. I literally had my mouth open (under my mask) when I swatched these at Sephora.

They are sooooo pigmented and they blend amazingly. I mean look at the swatches! This is under artificial lighting too (can’t imagine how pretty they would look under sunlight!).

I feel like they are sooo underrated. They need more love from you guys.

Swatches of the whole palette. I think these are really nice, fun colors. Definitely less travelled but still not too difficult to use. Personally I don’t go well with pastel shadows so I didn’'t get these. I prefer the Kaleidoscope Eye Shadow Duos.
