As stated in my last post, I purchased one of the Stila palettes in Stylish in Seoul. Originally, I was interested in the Rockin' in Rio; however, the minute I swatched the shadows I was highly underwhelmed so I ended up skipping out on it. I actually tried swatching all the palettes and I have to admit that I was the most impressed with this one. I do believe that the London one may have been good as well from what I remember, but I already have a ton of shadows that were similar to I opted to skip out on that one as well. Now, without further ado...the swatches.

Admittedly, I do have better shadows than these, however, I do like the palette especially for what I paid. In fact, I actually used it for the majority of August. My favorite shade is probably Zen. Lately, I've been really into the natural 'no makeup' type of look so that color was a perfect all over lid color for me.
I hardly used the lip and cheek color, it was drying on the lips and barely showed up on my cheeks. I had to really layer it on for it to start to make an appearance on my cheeks only to have it disappear in a matter of minutes.
I think that if you're into collecting these palettes by all means purchase it. If you're new to makeup, this could start off as a good palette. However, if you're looking into it expecting to have amazing quality...I would pass on it.
