There has been a lot of hype surrounding this eyeshadow. I must have swatched it 10 times before I finally took the plunge and bought it. I remember swatching it and thinking that it was a glittery mess.
Stila Kitten is a cult classic, so I finally decided that I had to be missing something about it, and ordered it from Sephora. It arrived and I believe I used it once in about a 6 month period. It was left with the rest of my unloved make-up back in America, not to be seen or used again until I went home for Christmas and decided to give it another try and brought it back to Germany with me.

| My failed attempt at repressing the eyeshadow |
I am so glad I did. This eyeshadow is crazy gorgeous. It can be used as a highlight, as a lid color, or as a light wash of something sparkly over the top of your already finished eye look. I personally like to use this as an all over the lid color on my lazy make-up days (i.e. I've been using it a lot recently)
Stila Kitten is described as a shimmering nude pink, which is true, but I would say there's a bit of champagne in there, as well. It's sparkly, and I mean REALLY sparkly. If you don't like sparkles or glitter, then you will not like this.
When I first swatched this, I was immediately afraid of fallout, but I have never had an issue with that. The sparkles and glitter stay put on your eye and don't budge until a cotton pad and Bioderma come its way. I'd also like to add that this doesn't crease on me, at all, but I do use the NARS Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base (review here) with it, so don't forget the primer, just in case!
The quality of this shade and Stila Eyeshadows in general, are superb. Plus, you get great value for money, as it contains a whopping 2.6 grams of product, for the awesome price of $18. Seriously, this stuff will last you a long time. Unless you drop it on the ground while typing a blog post about it, in which case it will shatter like a MOFO (ugh, why did that just happen to me :(! ).
I think this is something that every make-up addict should have in their collection, as it's so easy and really versatile. I also think this would be a good shade for someone just starting out in make-up, as it looks really nice on the lid, and wouldn't look odd on a teenager.
