Last year summer, Stila issued four $10 travel palettes and is issuing four more this summer! The $14 Beach Palettes each contain four eyeshadows, a cheek color, and a bronzer/highlighter.
The first of these palettes is Stunning in Sayulita, which was issued in April. This palette has some very lovely neutrals and I was hoping the eyeshadow formulation was better this time around.
These are the colors in the palette:
Eye Shadows:
- Starfish
- Sandbar
- Getaway
- Palm TreesCheek Color (powder blush):
- PlayaHighlighter/Bronzer:
- Banderas Bay
The eye shadows from top left, clockwise are: starfish, sandbar, getaway, and palm trees. The top rectangular color is the cheeky color (playa) and the bottom one is the highlighter (banderas bay).
Here are some swatches:
From left to right: Playa, Sandbar, Getaway, Palm Trees, Playa, Banderas Pay.
These colors were a lot nicer to apply than the last Stila travel palettes. The eye shadows are not as chalky, but they’re still not that pigmented. However, for $14, these are some great neutrals and I like the powder blush a lot more than the cream convertible color form last year.
Stila Beach Palettes are available from the Stila website, Sephora, and Zappos.com.
