This is one of THE best palettes money can buy, and I got it on sale! The texture of the eyeshadows in this palettes is better than the Stila singles! It's that good! The colors show up pigmented on the lids and the luminous glow from the these eyeshadows are out of this world gorgeous! These little guys can give Dior Wet-Reflect a run for their money!

Once in a while Stila can really hit it out of the park with their eyeshadow palettes, like the Barbie palette with 4 trios, the Jewel quad palette, and this one! It's a shame they don't do it more often!

This is a very beautiful palette. Compact and delicate. The colors in it are well pigmented, blendable and smooth. Simply love it.

Meh. I was really excited to get this palette because the packaging is sooo beautiful and the colors looked amazing. However, I was really disappointed once I got it because first, the palette itself is tiny. The shadows are pretty average in size but I feel like I'm going to drop the palette all the time! Second, the colors I was most excited about, the navy and green, don't really show up that well. The navy ends up looking pretty black and the green is very faint and fades VERY quickly. Neither color looks as good on the skin as it does in the pan. The white is very nice consistency but a little too light for a highlighter for my NC20 skin. The light pink is too chalky and matte. The rose color, I have to say, is gorgeous. It really brings out brown eyes and is really blendable. The gold is dupable.

This is a really nice palette. I am a really big fan of shimmer, so as soon as I saw the words 'precious pearls...w/ real genuine pearls,' I was sold lol. The colors are all very vibrant and gorgeous...and they aren't like super random--a lot of looks can be created with this palette. The colors are very pigmented--my favs are the gold, white, and dark blue. It goes on very smooth as well.

Oh and the packaging is very cute! Comes in a sleek white palette with iridescent shells on the front..I also like the mirror because it's the perfect size to look at both of your eyes when you apply the eye shadows.

..and at $20, I think it's pretty reasonably priced!

Beautiful packaging, which I normally dont worry about, an inlay of mother of pearl! The eyeshadows are a great selection of shimmery neutrals and you also get 2 shades, blue and green, if you want to add vibrant color to your lids. Dreamy consistency and blends wonderfully. The white shimmery color is perfect for highlighting too!

this is a beautiful palette full of very wearable colors. i can see myself using every color in it, and that is really rare. good pigmentation, blendable (what else would you expect from stila?), and the colors are all pretty unique and work well together. the palette itself is pretty hefty and well made with a mirror, but small enough to take with you. i can see myself taking this on trips because the colors will allow so many different looks. i love stila, but i am even more impressed by this palette A+++++ stila!

I fell in love with this as soon as I opened my package. The container it comes in is very pretty and durable. The pigments are vibrant and very versatile. I was going to purchase another one for my sister because she love it alot too but I bought this on sale on the sephora website and I believe they no longer carry it. I don't know where to buy it anymore but I love this! I've used many of the e/s so many times but there is still a lot of product left which is good because I don't know what I'll do if I run out.

I got this palette very cheap. The colors are all gorgeous. I've only used two of them so far, the highlighter and the green. The pigment is fantastic, easy to apply with a brush and great payoff. The highlighter is practically the same shade as an ULTA color that came with a fall collection a few years ago. (I think it might be Silk, but I'm not sure.) The green did not last all day, but I think if I keep working with it I can fix that. I'll update again later.

This is one of the few Stila palettes I could get on board with! Stila's quality lately seems to have gone to crap, however Precious Pearl is mind-blowing in terms of quality unlike what they've released in the last few years.



This palette contains a soft white/gold, a pale light pink with gold shimmer, a medium rose shimmer, a stunning medium royal metallic blue, a mid toned emerald green green and a dirty antique gold.



This colors all apply and blend like dream, have a buttery soft texture and tremendous color payoff! One of the best Stila has come out with recently!!

Stila Precious Pearl Palette is available now at Sephora for $20. If it weren't for the reduced price I wouldn't have purchased - even though packaging is exquisite!

I have only tried two shades so far. The highlighter shade and dark blue. The highlighter looks white but when applied it looks like a pale gold. The blue is dark so I didn't have to load up on it to get the pigmentation I wanted.

Both applied like a dream. The formulation is amazing. Too bad I probably won't use all of the colors. The two pink shades won't be something I use regularly but I'll definately try them with some purple shades I have laying around.

I would repurchase but not because the shades are unique (they are run of the mill), but the compact size, formulation and ease of application not to mention the beautiful packaging are what makes this palette worth it. If you don't already have similiar shades I would highly recommend this palette - these shadows are like butter.

UPDATE: I have officialy given the pink shades a chance and I have to say the lighter one isn't bad but I do not like the bolder pink shade. I tried to wear them in a combo with the dark blue and give it a shot but it is not my cup of tea. The olive looking shade wasn't that pretty on me but I can imagine it probably looks really pretty on a different skin tone.

This is the first Stila product I've ever tried/bought. On sale for only $20, why not give it a shot? When I received the palette in the mail, I was speechless at how gorgeous the packaging is. This is something you want to carry in your purse and show off to people. It's beautiful! And the colors look so breathtaking inside the palette.


After testing out the colors, I am convinced that this is a fantastic palette. It may look too frosty or shimmery for some people, but I think they look very classy and beautiful. It's easy to use this palette for simple looks and glamorous looks.


The thing I love most about these shadows is that they give just enough color, but not too much (you can always build up on the pigmentation though). I tend to have a light hand on my makeup, because I don't like to just cake pounds of it on my face. This palette just works with the way I prefer to put on makeup, and I love it for that.


Even though this palette is 50% off now, I think it's worth full price. It's gorgeous.

I bought this palette on sale at Sephora for only $20! What a steal. The packaging alone is well worth the $ spent. It's a very slim, portable palette made with beautiful inlaid pearl tiles, just lovely. Onto the eye shadows...the color combination is very vibrant and versatile ranging from pinks to blue & green and a white and gold shimmer. I have to agree that they are a tad too frosty on their own for the 30 something gals. But I've been using them in combo with other matte shades and it works out just fine. The texture is soft and velvety as with all of Stila's eyeshadows. They blend easily and are well pigmented. I hope Stila will come up with a similar palette in matte shades.

Stila had great eyeshadows. I think one of the best in quality and super blendablility but these colors were just too light on me! Maybe I'm too old to wear them but I returned this. Too frosty.
Sorry Stila but I love the Magascar Palette!

This was an impulse buy. These shadows are very buttery and smooth, and swatched, the colors are very pretty. Unfortunately, the pinks don't quite work for me, and the colors in general are not especially unique. At the new $20 price, I think the palette is worth it if you don't have anything similar, but I don't reach for this often except for the shimmery white as a highlight. Very occasionally I've layered the green lightly over the indigo for a more complex color, but I think I've mainly only held onto this for its lovely pearly packaging.

Really I'd give the Precious Pearl Palette a 3.5. But I decided to round down since I don't use it enough to justify rounding up.

This palette is awesome - six shimmery shadows - ivory, pale rose, dusty rose, blue, mermaid green and gold. The shimmer is soft-focus, not glittery, and the shadows are so soft and buttery that they are a pleasure to work with. The packaging is adorable. The palette is so small though that $40 felt too high - $28 would have been a good price. .

The precious pearl packaging sold me- It's gorgeous!! This palette was my first try at Stila shadows and I love them. They glide on so smooth and the pigmentation is great. I love the bronze and blue for summer. I am so happy I bought this and will be taking it with me down the shore!

This palette is so purdy. It has great neutrals (gold, light white/gold, green) a nice bold blue, and a really girly pink. Swatch them in Sephora! They are amazing! It looks so generic just sitting there, and then...wow. The gold and green were so unique. I had to have it. The 40 dollar price tag was a lot but luckily I had a GC to spend so for me it was like 6 bux. They are super soft, and blend like a dream. :o) I wish I got a hold of that Kitten palette while I could have.

I couldn't pass up this darling little compact. First of all, the packaging is so pretty. Can't wait to take this somewhere tropical with me. The shadow quality is very good. I swatched these colors on my arm in Ulta and you get great color payoff without any type of primer. I love the color range as well, with a few neutral and pretty and a few bold and sassy colors. They all have a hint of shimmer which I love - I purchased an Urban Decay palette last year and it was way too sparkly for my liking. Would definitely recommend!!
