I've been wanting to try Stila's signature glitter liquid eyeshadows, and what better way to test three of them at once! This set includes 3 of their most popular shades: Rose Gold Retro, Kitten Karma, Smoldering Satin. The set retails for $25 at Sephora.
NOTE: As of March 1st, this product is no longer available on Sephora, and out of stock on www.stilacosmetics.com , but it seems like it will be back in stock on the Stila website soon!
Each eyeshadow in this set has 0.07fl.oz. (2.25ml) of product, which is half the size of their individually sold liquid eyeshadows (0.153 fl. oz./4.5 mL).
Closet look at the 3 shades:

Colourpop's Supernova eyeshadows ($7, 0.17oz/4.7g) are thought to be dupes for these Stila glitter eyeshadows in terms of formula. I swatched their best-selling shade 'Walk Of Fame" and Stila's "Kitten Karma" next to each other.
In my eyes, the Stila shadow reflects more glitter, and the Supernova shadow is more metallic; however, they apply very similarly on the skin and both have some fallout and break up (which creates patches). Dried glitter will start to flake when it comes in contact with your eyeshadow brushes. Lastly, make sure you are looking down or closing your eyes until the shadows dry out!
