I scored this at the CCO last weekend. I love Stila eyeshadow and figured that the lovely colors were perfect for spring. (I must say that I prefer my Bamboo Blossom palette from this spring over the Sage Hankie, though). The bone e/s is perfect - creamy, just slightly shimmery - applies wonderfully. The sage e/s is something that I didn't have before - it looks pretty and fresh on my PPP skin. The liner is fun, a shimmery green/blue that I like to use it in the crease, too. The blush is gorgeous. Paper palette - pretty, but cardboard (seems sturdy enough though). This is only .08oz of product! So tiny, almost crazy...but I bought it for less than it originally retailed and although this is a tiny amount, it will last a long time.

I actually wasn't sure about using green eyeshadow but this light sage eyeshadow looks really nice...it's really unique and I love all the shades.The blush is really pretty and natural and makes me look nice and fresh...it's a bit expensive though, considering that the palette is so small.

VERY cute palette. I have blue eyes and blonde hair, and the sage set looks great on my light complexion. The blush looked a little scary at first, almost red, but it looks pretty on--very natural. This is FUN, and I will definately be buying more Stila palettes.

Love this palette! Its so pretty to look at and the colors all work well for me. The sage goes on kind of light- I have to put a few "coats" of it on for it to show up but when it does it looks very pretty! I dont think the shadows are too small- Ive used mine about 30x and have hardly a dip in any of the colors. Im sure the cardboard packaging will give out before the shadows do.

love the colors in this, especially the blush which is a beautiful, bright coral. every thing wears well, but this is packaged really terribly. stopped me from buying the other sets.

No matter how many times I brushed that sage colored e/s on my lids it never showed up. I also didn't care for the shade that was supposed to be used for e/l. I think it was supposed to be a deep dark green but it looked more like a dirty color on my eyes.

The only reason I gave it 2 lippies is because the blush shade is BEAUTIFUL!!! I wish I could find that in a single because $28 is not worth buying it just for a little blush.

When I saw what a small amount of product you're getting, I was really hesitant to buy this especially for $28. But I have to say I really love the e/s colors. I've gotten tired of the neutrals so I'm enjoying the pretty, unique, sheer look that I get from this. The liner is a deep turquoise which looks great with dark eyes and lashes. Not a big fan of the blush, it's a little too coral for my tastes but applied with a light hand and evened out with some powder and it looks good. I like the size of the palette itself; it fits quite nicely into a makeup bag or small purse. I do wish they had included a lip color though. Overall, I really like it.

I would not buy this again, because I think for the size it is ridiculously expensive. That said, this is my first time trying Stila and I really love the color combination in this palette. The blush is a great shade, and the e/s is beautiful on me. I am a PPP with red hair and brown eyes. I just wish they had thrown in some convertible color or lipstick in this palette, it would have made it worth the money then...

Retails for $28 at Sephora, this pan is definitely tiny!!! I can't believe that they charge me $28 for such a miniscule products. With that said, though, I have to try on the color since I've never worn any green e/s (I'm asian ppp/lll Stila B/C). The lightest e/s goes on off-white with lemony yellow undertone, very sheer and pretty. The middle e/s goes on minty green on my skin, but with grey undertone, making it rather dull than bright. The liner is actually a gorgreous khaki with blue-green undertone, which surprisingly goes well with my dark brown lashes & eyes. The blush is a little bit on the bright side. It reminds me a lot of MAC Variety: deep hot corally pink, except this one is more on the pink side, whereas MAC on the red side.

Overall, the colors are very pretty and wearable, however, I just can't justify buying the palette. Perhaps I will give in, but until then, I will spend my $$ somewhere else.

Because I adore the quality of the stila shadows I had to get this one. ( a gift actually). The design of the palette is quite small and there are only slivers of the colors. I would be happier if this was a normal 4 pan with normal size amounts of product. I like this and since I have no colors from the regular line that even resemble these colors I am keeping it. There are no colors in the line are even close to these colors, so if you like them, and run you will need another palette.

Sizes: This palette is approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. It contains 3 eyeshadows and 1 blush. There are 2 fan-shaped shadows that are 1 1/4 inches across at their widest points. The liner shadow is 1/2 inch in diameter. The blush is 1 inch in diameter.

Colors: Let me start by saying that I LOVE these colors. They make me feel young, fresh, and pretty. The lid color is a shimmery, minty sage green. The highlight color is a shimmery ivory. The liner color is a darker green, almost like a charcoal green. I couldn't find any MAC shadows that were similar enough to mention. The blush color is a matte peach, which looks darker in the package than when it is applied. The eye colors blend perfectly, for a soft, but not too sheer look.

The Palette: I understand that many people dislike the look of this palette, but I want to mention some of its positive features. The square shape makes it very easy to handle - it fits right in my palm - and it doesn't snap shut if placed open on the counter. The colors on the outside of the package tell you which colors are inside, so you don't need to open several palettes to find the one you want. Although many dislike Stila's cardboard packaging, I find that it is less susceptible to nicks and cracks than some plastic packages.

Overall, I am very happy with this palette. I admit that the pans are small, but I don't mind the size. I bought this for the colors, which look great with my green eyes and fair complexion.
