Stila Striking in South Beach
Striking In South Beach (S$29) is the third palette in Stila's series of five Beach Palettes. All five are now available on Stilacosmetics.com and Sephora.com, where they retail for US$14. In Singapore, the Escentials boutique at Tangs Orchard currently has only the first three palettes: Stunning in Sayulita, Haute In The Hamptons and Striking In South Beach.
Striking In South Beach is my personal favourite in this series, thanks to the lovely Wave (periwinkle blue) and Cabana (dusky dark lavender).
The two photos below were taken next to the window, so the shimmer is less obvious.
Ocean Drive is a pearly light grey. Of the four eyeshadows, it is the most sheer and required a few layers to show up. Nightlife is the most sparkly of the lot with silver shimmer, while the other three eyeshadows have more of a soft glimmer. In terms of the colour payoff, Wave and Nightlife are more well-pigmented than Ocean Drive and Cabana.
Swatches on bare skin versus over Too Faced Shadow Insurance. (Do click on the photo to view it in full size and better resolution.)
The two blushes feel silky to touch and apply sheer at first but can be easily layered for a soft, natural finish.
For this look, I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance as the base all over the eyelid, Cabana along the upper lashline, Wave in the crease and Ocean Drive as a wash over the browbone and along the lower lashline (it doesn't show up well in these pics for some reason).
On the cheeks, I used Sobe. Used with a good primer, the eyeshadows lasted well on me throughout more than 12 hours of wear with minimal fading or creasing.
Like the other beach palettes and last year's Travel Palettes, the palette is made in China. Considering the number of shades and the amount of product (the eyeshadows are 4.2g in total and the blushes are 3.1g each), I think it offers good value for money although I think the claim that this has a US$62 value should be dropped.
On the inside of the cover, there's a simple tutorial for how to apply the shades.

And to end off this post, here's a quick snapshot of my Stila palettes collected over the past decade! You can read more about them in this post. Hopefully, Stila will continue to release the travel palettes in future years as I've enjoyed collecting them.
