I got a Stila eyeshadow palette, a few other eyeshadows (no idea on brand, haven't opened them yet), and a nice set of eyeshadow brushes.
There is a little booklet in the Stila palette showing you how to do different looks.
I wear makeup, always have, but have never owned more than say 3 eyeshadows at a time. But now...I'm lining with powder, blending shades, and probably looking like a blind clown hooker but it's fun. And I want more. Too bad Dh and I are on a stupid spending freeze to help save money.
