Stila Dream In Full Color palette – Swatches and Review – Glam Radar

by Maria · July 31, 2014

A few weeks ago while innocently browsing ASOS I created a fantasy shopping basket, like I do on most online shopping sites and filled it with ‘lust haves’.

It’s almost like window shopping but better, just clicking the ‘add to bag’ button makes me happy even if I don’t always follow it up with the ‘pay now’ click. Don’t tell me I’m the only one that does this?

Anyway, this time I was in the mood to shop seriously and completed the process which resulted in a nice little parcel at my door the next day.

In it was this.

Stila’s Christmas collection treat the Dream in Full Color palette.

I ordered this :

A. Because there is no denying it is gorgeous looking despite slightly resembling a child’s make-up palette from Argos.

B. Having never tried anything by Stila before it was a great way to try some of their range.

C. It was amazing value, you just wait until you hear the price.

So despite not needing another eyeshadow for the rest of my life as I already have 453,000 others I purchased it.

Unlike most palettes I already own this one not only contains 29 eyeshadow shades but there are 7 blushers too and a full sized eyeliner with it.

That’s a whopping amount of make-up for one palette to hold but then again this is one whopping palette; size wise it’s bigger than my face!

stila-dream-in-full-color-palette-swatches-and-review-2Like I said before this palette may not be in the most attractive packaging but what this palette lacks in superficial beauty it more than makes up for with what’s inside.

All 29 shades are gorgeously pigmented, there hasn’t been one that I’ve had to work hard with; finish wise there are 4 matte and 4 glitter colours. The rest of the shades have a metallic finish similar to many Urban Decay or Mac’s Satin/Veluxe Pearl/Velvet shadows.

There are five matte blushers and two that contain a hint of shimmer to them, all have good colour payoff but can be a little fiddly to use. While the eye shadows are relatively large and easy to get to with a brush the blushers aren’t so well designed.

I use a fan brush mostly so don’t have much of a problem but if you do use a bigger brush there is a bit of clever maneuvering and swirling needed to get the right amount of product on the brush.

Ok, now for the tricky bit.

Phew! So I know it’s a little complicated with all the numbers and that but there’s just so many colours in this thing.

You also get a full sized Smudge Stick Waterproof eyeliner in Stingray with this kit which I have to say I’m loving. It’s super creamy and easy to apply, the colour is a very rich black but with a slight hint of indigo to it, gorgeous.

Alone this stay put stick costs £13 which makes the whole set great value when you know the price which leads me nicely on to the cost.

The Dream in Full Color palette with eyeliner and lookbook retails at just £25!!!!

For the quality and quantity I think this is one beauty bargain not to miss if you wanted to add a good colour range to your collection, try Stila cosmetics or are looking for a great gift this Christmas.

I purchased mine from ASOS.
