STARGAZE Makeup Look by Stila

Hi everyone!

stargaze stila

I finally made a tutorial using one of the best palettes I’ve used so far! It’s the Stila Dream in Full Color Palette! I received this as a gift from Jennifer of SkinSonic Philippines (she included this in the package when she sent me replacement heads for my SkinSonic Skincare System) What a sweetheart. This is the biggest palette I own! It’s almost as big as a plate. The cool thing about it is that ALL the eyeshadows have names! And just how interesting is it that they are all arranged in a flower (petal) form?

This kit includes a free Stila kohl pencil (which stays on all day AMAZINGLY) and a manual wherein you can find tutorials on different looks you can do with the palette!

  3. Apply Twilight (satin white eyeshadow) on the inner corners of the eyes for highlight
  4. Apply Stargaze (dark purple) on the crease and blend
  5. Dampen your liner brush and apply Inspire (purple) on the lashline

MAC Call Me Bubbles Makeup Tutorial

HPIM0441

Hi everyone!

I was able to film this tutorial during my stay in Cebu. This look is perfect for spring/summer! I used my MAC Call Me Bubbles Palette which was given to me as a gift from one of my sweet readers, Denise M. (Thank you Denise!) I definitely moved out of my comfort zone with this look since I never liked the color orange! Nevertheless, I really liked the outcome of the whole look, and I hope you do, too!

Love, Say
