This weekend I stumbled across the Stila Blockbuster palette at my local Costco (they have everything there!). At $19.99 how could I possibly say no to this? Stila eyeshadow SINGLES are on average $18, so when the Blockbuster palette boasted an awesome 30 color eyeshadow arsenal there was no way I was passing this up. The palette also packs 15 lip colors, 3 blushes, a bronzer, a highlighter, a lip liner and an eyeliner. Although I am not usually a fan of palettes with lip colors in them, I thought this was a deal too good to pass up. The eyeshadows and lip colors are about dime size and while they do NOT have that excellent Stila quality I've grown to love, they're not that bad for the price. The shadows are pigmented but they are a little bit on the powdery side. The same is true for the bronzer, highlighter and blush colors. The lip colors are not drying but they are a little bit on the sheer side. Bottom line? While these shadows are good, they're not Stila good. At $19.99, the palette is good for the price. (Keep in mind I said good, not great). This little palette is nice to carry along to job appointments and even travel with but it doesn't go beyond that. If you're looking for a quality palette, save your pennies for the Urban Decay Naked palette!
OMG...the palette is sooo beautiful! What a steal for such a deal...
ReplyDeleteI need to start going with my mom to Costco. I hear that they have some really awesome deals, LIKE THIS ONE.
ReplyDeleteI find Stila eyeshadows quite sheer and powdery in general. However, this is definitely a great set for the holidays. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing hun!Havent try a Stilla palette but it looks pretty!!!

Thanks for letting us know. 19.99 is a good price. But if the Naked is better, then I think I will save up for that one.
ReplyDeletegreat I'm glad you felt the same !!! I have this pallet and it sux's big time !!!!
ReplyDeletecostco really does have EVERYTHING. thats a good deal
ReplyDeleteCOSTCO?! No waaaaaaay!! Definately a must have and at such a good price but I guess there is a difference in quality! Can't wait to see what you're gonna create with this pallete! :)
ReplyDeleteThis would be the perfect gift for my cousins 15th bday party. Girls at this age start to play and experiment with makeup and the price is great. I remember for my 15th bday I wish I would of received things like this instead of clothes where they have no idea what i like. Thanks Miss Honey B. Now if only I had a Costco card :/
ReplyDeleteEvery girl's dream!! ^_^
ReplyDeletei find huge palettes like that lose their quality for some reason. i wonder why. regardless i wouldve bought that too! haha

ReplyDeleteGreat review doll! I need to get a costco card already, everyone is finding beauty stuff lately! Glad to know I'm not missing out on too much though ;) xo
ReplyDeleteStila and Urban Decay were the first brands of make up that my mom got for me. I remember it being a Stila eyeshadow and an Urban Decay palette! :)
ReplyDeleteFor the price, I'm guessing it's good enough for daily makeup. :)
