Stila "In the Moment" Palette Review & Swatches

Stila In the Moment Palette
Stila “In the Moment” Eyeshadow Palette

Attention all purple lovers, I think I’ve found your new best friend.

The Stila In the Moment Palette is any purple (or even neutral) lover’s paradise!

It holds 10 super pigmented shadows as well as a Stila smudge stick all centered around purples, creams, and coppers.

One word: gorgeous.

Now let me hit on a few things.

Packaging:  7/10
I’m a big fan of cardboard palettes; however, I don’t know if I would call them sturdy.
Another downfall is that it lacks a mirror.
But it makes up for this with its sleek purple color, and metallic accents.
So it’s safe to say that the palette will look adorable on your vanity, but I don’t know if I would take it traveling or throw it around anytime soon.

Eyeshadow Quality: 10/10
Stila makes some of my all time favorite shadows!
These especially have a super creamy consistency and come across incredibly pigmented.
But the best part is that with or without an eyeshadow primer, these shades aren’t going anywhere. There’s no doubt that they’ll last ALL day.  

Price: 10/10
This Palette is usually $39.00, and well worth it too!
BUT Stila currently has them on sale for nearly half off at $20.00 which is insane.
I would pay nearly triple that!

Overall: 9/10
This is certainly an essential palette is you love purple and warm brown shades, or if you’re looking to add a little bit of color to your eyes without going over the top.
And for the price, it can’t be beat.

I’d say this is a must buy!
