Stila Little White Lie

Stila Little White Lies

I found these while I was wandering around today.  I was looking for Stila's new liquid eyeshadows, but I found these instead.  They may look white, but they amazingly transform into pastel shades once you use them.

Stila Little White Lies
L to R:  Mint Myth, Lilac Legend, Peach Pretense,
Fuchsia Fiction, Yellow Tales, and  Pink Wink Wink

• Mint Myth is a beautiful mint shade.  I felt like this shade switched the best in person.
• Lilac Legend is a soft lilac color that almost looked blue from certain angles.
• Peach Pretense is a soft orangey shade.
• Fuchsia Fiction is a pink with purple glitter in it.
• Yellow Tales is a soft yellow.
• Pink Wink Wink is a true, baby pink.

I absolutely loved these.  I feel like the swatches don't really do them justice.  In person, they didn't look quite that sheer.  I absolutely love pastels and if I wasn't trying to cut down on the amount of makeup I buy, I would seriously consider picking up a few shades.  My absolute favorite choices were Mint Myth, Lilac Legend, and Peach Pretense.

Mint is one of my favorite colors and I'm seriously considering buying the color regardless of anything else.  These are fairly pricey at $24 a piece and I'm trying to remind myself that I barely use the liquid eyeshadows I already own.

I feel like in the photo Lilac Legend and Fuchsia Fiction look extremely similar, but in person Fuchsia Fiction and Pink Wink Wink were almost identical.  The only difference in those two shades are the fact Fuchsia Fiction has a bit of a duochromeness to it.  There is a bit of pink and purple in that shade.

I didn't try these over a base, but I've been informed that these are meant to be used over a base of some kind as a shadow transformer.  I think these would be beautiful for that.

Stila Little White Lies Heavenly Highlighting Palette

While I didn't photograph it, I also tried the highlighter trio that came out as part of this collection.  The highlighters looked white and each had it's own sparkle.  There was a pink one, a yellow one, and a blue one.  The putty type highlighters were very disappointing.  I definitely didn't think they were worth the $45 price tag.  The highlighters only managed to give a small amount of sparse glitter on the back of my hand.  I didn't see how anyone could like them and I felt like they would be a bit of a hassle to apply.
