Review: Stila Backstage Eyeshadow Palette!

 Another awesome palette from Stila. The colors are very pigmented and vibrant. This palette consists of 6 eyeshadows: 

Chiffon: nude peachy pink with a shimmery finish

Flamingo: bright fuchsia purple with a more of a matte finish (the only matte color in the palette)

Pacific: medium blue with very fine light blue shimmer

Luster: chocolate brown with a very fine gold shimmer

Poetic: light mauve with very fine silver shimmer

Coal: dark teal color (in the pan), but on swatches looks dark gray with very fine dark teal shimmer

The packaging is very cute on top of the palette with a roses design in a dark purple shimmery case. The actual palette is made of cardboard and each eyeshadow is in a metal pan that will stick to a magnet if need be. I think I might take all these eyeshadows and put them into a bigger palette. This palette does not have a mirror.

Consistency:
The consistency of these shadows is that they are very soft and a little goes a long way. This palette will last me forever even though I might use it on a daily basis. The shadows are a little chalky, however, so if you pick up too much product you might see fallout, which I did not have a problem with so far. They blend like a dream and that I love. I use my Sigma E29 and all the looks I've created with this palette look so beautiful and these colors work very well together. Also, these are buildable meaning if you use less of the product it will look lighter (and ultimately more natural), and the more you use the more dramatic the look would be.

Here are some swatches of the colors:

Chiffon, Flamingo, Pacific, Luster, Poetic, Coal

Here you can see last 3 better (Luster, Poetic, Coal)

Chiffon, Flamingo, Pacific, Luster


These retail for $28 and I got mine at stilacosmetics.com. I think it's an awesome value because they are such good quality and I feel like they will last me forever. The total weight is .39 oz or 11g.
