Review: Stila All Over Shimmer *9
Borrowed from Makeup Alley - Uploaded by user jillwiersma
I originally got this in a set with the Kitten eyeshadow and lipgloss. I loved both of those immediately, however this product was something that I just couldn’t find any love for, so it got thrown into the bottom of my makeup drawer destined to live a lonely life. When I used this product as a highlighter or a blush, I just got a load of silver glitter all over my face. That wasn’t working for me.
But, then I got an idea. While I was going through products for my swap list on MUA, I came across this product again. It truly is a gorgeous light pinky peach in the compact. So I got the crazy idea to try this product as an eyeshadow. So I applied it to my eyes with my 239 dupe, which is the Loew Cornnall 3/8th Maxine Mop paint brush. The product became the perfect peachy pink color on my lids. It made my eyes look wide and awake, similar to the look of Kitten – only not as frosty, which was surprising. I tried this color on my lid and blended some Urban Decay Smog into the crease, and it was the perfect shimmery nude look. LOVE! So if you have this product sitting around collecting dust, give it a try as an eyeshadow. You won’t be disappointed!
Product: 4.5/5
Price: $30

Dupe Alert!: MAC Nymphette Lipglass
I have been lemming MAC’s Nymphette lipglass for a while now, and
I came across a dupe on MUA.
Milani’s Summer Baby Crystal Lipgloss $4.
This color is an even BETTER version of Nymhette in my opinion. It has the same pinky color with the same gold shimmer, only Summer Baby is more pigmented as you can see from the swatch picture linked below.

I actually prefer Summer Baby over Nymphette, not only because it’s one fourth of the price, but because it’s more pigmented than it’s higher end counterpoint. However I have heard that this color is somewhat hard to find, but as far as I know, it hasn’t been discontinued yet.
So if you see this color on the shelf, grab it and try it out!
