Today I have invited a friend of
mine FZ, who is just beginning to
step into the world of makeup, to give her two cents on a certain makeup product
that she was gifted. It was sad to see her not knowing what a jewel she had
acquired, but as we all know, good stuff doesn’t need any selling, it sells
itself. Surely she fell in love with the all famous “Stila in the Garden
Palette”. I find it quite interesting to see what someone who is relatively new
at trying out different products and brands has to say are unbiased and more pragmatic in their approach and this is what she has
to say about it:
Hi all! I am a 24 year old
housewife, just beginning to appreciate the world of makeup. It makes sense
then that when recently I was gifted a Stila eyeshadow palette, as appreciative
as I was of the gift sender’s gesture, the product itself didn’t cause me to
swoon. I hadn’t heard of the brand name before this… but then how many brands
do I do know?! :P. I tossed it aside as just another addition in my collection
of unused shadows which will make it all the more difficult for me to choose a
shade in the fifteen minutes that I am
willing to spend on makeup before going out. A certain makeup geek friend of mine had a
totally different reaction however. One look at it and she exclaimed what a
catch it was, envying my luck for having such makeup gifting friends. (Boy ain't that the truth!)
The geeks are more right than wrong they say. This Stila “In
the Garden Palette” is the first thing I reach for now when giving myself a
quick presentable look.
It contains ten shadows and a smudge stick eyeliner. The
palette itself came in a cardboard box which doesn’t really look very appealing
at first sight.
