Stila Kitten

I have known about the hype about Stila Kitten eyeshadow. Finally I caved in and grabbed one at my local Shoppers Drug Mart which just started carrying the brand.





Kitten is a shimmering nude peach pink shade. I was not a fan of shimmering eye shadow before but slowly warming up to it. This shadow can be worn wet or dry. But for my purpose, I usually apply it over my lids, on my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes. 


It is one of the most gorgeous shimmering shade I own. The pigmentation is awesome. I do find a little bit of fall-out so I have to be careful when I apply it so I won't get any into my eyes.

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced latte is close to Stila Kitten in terms of pigmentation and finish.

Iced Latte is more beige. Kitten is a bit more pink and shimmer. Both are very intense so don't go overboard with it. 

I totally get what the hype is all about Stila Kitten. It is really gorgeous. For the price tag of CAD $23 for a single eye shadow, it is one of the more expensive eye shadow I own but it is well-worth it.

Have you got a highly-raved beauty product that you finally get your hands on and pleased with your purchase?

    1. it sure is worth the hype. Such a pretty shade but I just have to be careful with a light hand so I won't overdo it and end up having fallout all over my face.

  3. I have Kitten! I think I have a mini pot of gel liner in the same color as well.
    I keep forgetting about it, but it is one of the most gorgeous highlighting shades, ever. ;)

    1. I was contemplating on getting the smudge pot(kitten) or the kitten eyeshadow at the store. I think the liner would be so perfect for doing lower lash lines to brighten up the eyes.

  4. ooh that does look pretty! does it highlight fine lines? I find sometimes really shimmery eyeshadows look very crepey on my lids :(

    1. it doesn't highlight fine lines as the formula is quite buttery. Just be careful when you apply as there is a bit of fallout so I only use a very light hand and it doesn't emphasize on fine lines.

    1. I was never drawn to such shimmery shades before but realized just a bit on the centre lids really brightens up my tired eyes.
