Stila Natural Eye Shadow Palette + Brighten & Correct Concealer for AW11

ATTN Stila fans! Not only has the brand just recently launched back in Ireland with a tight little edit at Boots in Liffey Valley* but there'll be more products in-coming on a seasonal basis too.

Like this pair, above, which'll arrive in September.

The Natural Eye Shadow Palette, €32, looks a little like the Stila response to Urban Decay's Naked. Containing ten neutral shadows that can  be worn wet or dry, you'll also get an eight-page look book with how-to tips and tricks and an exclusive shade of Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel as well (it's a matte chocolate brown). Shades are:

• Bare – matte ivory
• Sandstone – matte light coco
• Kitten – shimmery pink champagne
• Champagne – shimmery pale gold
• Bliss – matte beige pink
• Gilded Gold – golden brown with shimmer
• Sunset – shimmery canyon pink
• Luster – dark aubergine with gold shimmer
• Night Sky – blue with shimmer
• Ebony – black

So what's that other yokey beside it? It's Brighten and Correct Concealer, €23, a triple-duty concealer in five shades, which says it'll illuminate, brighten and correct under eye circles.  Buildable, it's got light-diffusing pigments, a unique mineral complex and something fancy called Haloxyl to deliver lightweight coverage. You get a satin, luminous finish that cools as it dries, reducing puffiness, minimising the appearance of dark circles over time. MY. JAY. SIS. Someone tell George Hook - now this is the stuff of science fiction.
