Yet Another Champagne Shimmer Eye Shadow: Stila Kitten


Stila Eye Shadow in 'Kitten'

Can anyone else notice a theme in my favourite eye shadows? Urban Decay 'Sin', Chanel Illusion D'Ombre 'Emerveille', MAC 'All That Glitters' and now Stila 'Kitten'.

I'm always drawn to shimmery, peachy champagne shades and I make no apologies for that. They instantly brighten your eyes, lift your face and make you look more awake when really you've had one hour sleep and are ready to kill dead things. 'Kitten' has always been on my wish list but there was always something I wanted more and 'kitten' got pushed to the back of the list but that all changed a few weeks back when I found myself at a Stila stand in Boots, the ''do I really need it'' thought went straight out the window and I almost sprinted to the till.

The shadow is buttery soft and reminds me alot of Urban Decay eye shadows. It lasts well on the lids even without primer and any fading throughout the day is minimal.

Am I the last person on earth to own Stila?
What other products from Stila should I check out?

    1. I always feel too made up with darker eye shadow shades. I think this type of colour is perfect for everyday wear. :)

  4. No dear, I am the last person because I still haven't tried Kitten haha It looks more yellow toned than UD sin, doesn't it? I really want to try their convertible colors for lips and cheeks :) they look lovely and have gotten so many positive reviews xxx

    1. Yes it's slightly more yellow. Different enough to justify having both! haha I want to try the convertible colours too but I never have much luck with cream blushers apart from the ones from Liz Earle.

  6. I had this but as much as I like Stila eyeshadows they make my eyes sting which is a shame.

  7. I keep hearing about this shade. Am already addicted to The Balm's Mary Lou-maniser though...a shimmery champagne shade that isnt too glittery and great value for money. Its perfect as highlighter for brow and cheeks, plus eyeshadow. Stumbled onto your blog and loving it :)
