stila Color Cocktail Travel Cheek, Lip & Eye Palette, 1 oz.

I bought the Malibu Sunset palette for purse and travel. No problem with the quality of the products, but I was expecting two medium brown eyeshadows and one maroon. But both brown eyeshadows have a strong orange cast, and the red eyeshadow is BRIGHT red. I often use darker eyeshadows as eyeliner, but these didn't work as either shadow or liner; all of them looked garish on my light-medium skin. The blush is fine on cheeks, and I thought it would be a good lip product for me because I often wear lipstick in that neutral color. But it looks almost white on my lips. I think there's something reflective in it that completely overpowers the color. Note that I almost never buy cosmetics online because of issues like this; colors just don't look the same on a web page as they do on skin. If these products had been available to test in actual stores (Sephora, Ulta, department stores) I would have realized right away that the match wasn't great. I would recommend this product only if Stila makes it available to test in brick-and-mortar stores. On a brighter note: The white shimmer shadow doubles nicely as highlighter!

I understand this is a travel palette, but it's teeny tiny. I was surprised at how small it was. I'm glad I purchased it during a sale, otherwise I'd have been disappointed. The colors are nice. My only concern is the cream blush drying out quickly. The shadows and blush apply nicely.
