Who doesn’t love a super cute, totally affordable palette that’s easy to pack up & go whenever you need it? I know I do!

Stila’s travel palettes totally fit the bill and the online only, limited edition Adventures in Aspen palette is a great addition to my ever-growing Stila collection.

  • Snow Angel – shimmering heather grey
  • Icicles – deep blue
  • Glisten – shimmering gold
  • Ajax – black with gold sparkles
  • Convertible Color for lip & cheek in Rosy – rose pink

Rosy, Glisten, Snow Angel, Ajax, Icicles

Rosy is a really pretty pale pink, on the sheer side. I don’t know if I would use this as a lip color since it’s so sheer, but would be a great cheek color for fair skin.

Glisten is the best shadow here for sure. It’s super pigmented and a very nice brown bronze color.

Snow Angel is a pale, but not sheer, icy looking blue/grey.

Ajax is a fairly opaque black with very fine gold glitter. This was more pigmented than I thought it would be and I think it’s pretty nice.

Icicles is a muted blue/grey color and not quite as pigmented as I hoped. It looks much different in the pan than on my skin. I expected more of a deep navy blue but it’s very grey.

Overall:

This might be my favorite Stila Travel Palette aside from Tokyo so far! I love the color combos and think it’s really wearable. Of course since the colors are all cool (except Glisten) this would suit my skin tone better than someone with more olive or warmer skin.

Availability: Exclusive to Sephora online

Pricing: $10.00

What do you think about Aspen? Is this something you might grab for just 10 smackeroos?

    Oooh, glisten looks gorgeous! So rich! I keep flip flopping between picking up these palettes (the ones that are still available) and skipping them. I just can’t make up my mind!

    I have the Fiji and Tokyo palettes and I keep putting this one in and out of my Sephora cart. I need to just buy it already! Those colors are great.

    Really pretty, as are all of the Stila travel palettes, but I think Moscow is still my fav, I lurve that one!

    I love these palettes. I have the Tokyo palette. I’d love to own them all. The price is right also. I also like the packaging. It’s slim and I love that it closes with a magnet inside. Makes it easy to open.

  • Do you know if these will be available through Zappos.com like the other travel palettes? That’s how I bought all mine since the S&H was free. I have the other 5 and love them :D

    Very pretty and well thought out! Would love to buy it, but they don’t sell it over here I am afraid. But I’ll go & see if Zappos ships.

    looks so much like my Tokyo palette, except the convertible color is so much prettier.
