			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stila is a brand that I&#8217;ve always looked at in Sephora, but never purchased any products from. I found the price a bit high, I guess. However, there are a few products on the Stila site that are very affordable! One of these is their <a href="http://www.stilacosmetics.com/product_detail.asp?PMID=648">Charmed Eye Shadow Palette</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08256.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-984 alignleft" title="stila - charmed 1" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08256-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Description from the site: <em>Adorned with authentic Indian bindis, this palette  features four highly-pigmented new shadow shades all infused with  genuine 24kt gold. Long revered for its skin revitalizing properties,  this luxurious metal helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and  creates a rich, shimmering effect.</em></p>
<p>There are four colors in this palette: coppery gold, warm gold, teal, and black/burgundy, all with a gold shimmer.</p>
<p>The palette itself is constructed of paper, but it seems rather sturdy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08265.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-988" title="stila - charmed 2" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08265-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08266.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-989" title="stila - charmed 3" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08266-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08263.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-990" title="stila - charmed 4" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08263-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>I find the shadows very smooth and easily picked up with a brush. Here are some swatches:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08270.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-991 aligncenter" title="stila - charmed 5" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08270-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>From left: teal, black/burgundy, copper, warm gold.</p>
<p>The colors were easy to work with and blend, but they weren&#8217;t as pigmented as I was hoping. It might have been the e.l.f. mineral eye primer, though. I will have to try it again with Pixie Epoxie to see.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08272.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-993" title="stila - charmed demo 1" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08272-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08302.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-994" title="stila - charmed demo 2" src="http://www.eternalvox.net/loosepowder/uploads/2010/07/DSC08302-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>I used the warm gold all over my eyelids and above the crease first, then added the teal on my eye lid and blended it in. I used the black/burgundy on the outer corner to darken it a bit. Then I used a black gel eyeliner to finish my eyes.</p>
<p>To finish this look, I am wearing Fyrinnae Glow Blush in Enchant, Stainiac Lip Stain in Beauty Queen, and Korres gloss in Fuchsia.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a great little palette and the four colors you get are good for every day wear or going out. Overall, I think this was a good purchase for the price.
