Stila Eyeshadow Duo in Borealis

Recently I bought my first Stila eyeshadow duo. I decided to pick this up because of a tutorial that glamourista16 posted on her YouTube channel. She did a tutorial inspired by sapphires as part of her birthstone series. Sapphire happens to be my birthstone and I've always loved it! So when I saw the look she created I really wanted to try it out. I ordered it on Amazon for $6.99 from a seller named Never-eNuff-Makeup. Now onto the pictures.

The duo is called Borealis and I bought it in pan form which looks like this.

Over all this is a pretty decent set of shadows, although the pigmentation gives a little to be desired. The lighter shade is very nice with noticeable blue shimmer. The darker of the shades looks gorgeous in the pan but when you swatch it it takes more work to build up than I expected. I will definitely still use this duo but with a name like Stila I expected just a little bit more.
