Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and the weather has been kind.
The Makeup Squid has gone through some changes recently and I hope you like them.
Today I will be going through a new palette I picked up recently through my adventures in makeup land.
I will admit this was a impulse buy. No thought, rhyme or reason here, just sheer madness.
This is actually my second Stila purchase, so I am pretty excited!
First of all I love the little quotes inside of these palettes cute and inspiring.
Sarah Lucero is a makeup artist you can read about her at sarahluceromakeup.com
If she had anything to do with the palette itself is unknown to me.
This palette boasts 10 colors and includes a eye liner.
The casing is card board. It has a very slim and sleek design it comes in a shimmery Lilac color.
The palette includes a full size Liner in a Purple shade called "Tetra".
The liner is a deep plum shade and had lavender glitter flecks in it.
The first swatch is with firm pressure, the second with a more light hand.
This stick applies smooth and does not tug on the skin.
It is a full sized and self sharpening.
The First Five Shadows
Instinct is a very shimmery white shade great for the inner eye area and brow bone highlight.
Impulse is a beautiful light shimmery pink, great for adding dimension to the center of the eye.
Glance is a Very fun and dramatic purple, great for a nice pop of color on any smokey eye.
Improvise is a deep plum shade with some shimmer in it, this color is a great crease color.
Catalyst is a soft black with flecks of silver here and there, great for a softer eye look.
These shadows were applied with a finger and no primer.
The Second Five Shadows
Desire is a lovely barley there color, great for blending and softening lines.
Wonder is a gorgeous peach shimmer that can be worn alone for a wash of color or as a accent color.
Spontaneous is a beautiful champagne shimmer that is perfect drawing attention to the eyes.
Whim is a brown/copper shimmer with gold flecks, worn alone or with others this is a great shadow.
Captivate is an amazing taupe shimmer color perfect for the crease or outer V.
These shadows were applied with a finger and no primer.
This palette includes a lookbook with some amazing looks.

Final Thoughts
Even though I did not have my sites set on this palette, I am glad I picked it up.
Even though I have a thing for mattes I know I will be grabbing this palette to add a touch of shimmer and sparkle to many eye looks.
This product was purchased with my own money.
