Stila Rave!

I went to the Trafford Center the other day and of course had to nosey around Boot's makeup aisles. All was normal, until I spotted the Stila stand. I hadn't seen their products in the UK before, so I decided to check their stuff out. Here were the fist things I picked up:-

From top to bottom:- Electric, Bora Bora, Curacao and Flash.

 Oh my gosh, as soon as I opened the package my heart started thumping. They are seriously glittery and highly pigmented eyeliners. Named Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner's and priced at £14, they come in an array of colours and last forever (the ones that I swatched on my hand took forever to scrub off). The only downside there is is that the applicator is a felt tip one, which wouldn't have been my choice for this product (they always seems to be a bit messy) but I could live with it. I have serious lust for these eyeliners, and they have gone straight to the top of my wish list.

Next up, I tested the Convertible Colour Duo Lip & Cheek Cream.

From top to bottom:- Poppy, Iillium, Peony

 These were lovely and creamy, with a nice level of pigmentation. Poppy was bright red in the pot, but did blend out nicely on my skin. They also felt light on, and totally unsticky (if that's a word!). They are £16, and come in a really cute pot with a handy mirror.

Finally, I decided to try the Crush Lip and Cheek Stain:-

Top to bottom:- Acai, Pomegranate, Raspberry.

The first one I picked up was Acai, and it was so bright I was quite shocked. They come with an integrated brush like some lipglosses, and I actually quite liked that. They were also more of a gel formula, which I really liked because I always find stains like Benetint a bit runny. Described on the website as "A multi-tasking lip and cheek stain that reacts to pH levels to create a perfectly personalized hue", these are definately something to look out for.

Overall, I am really loving Stila's products, and can't wait to get my hands on some when my financial situation looks a bit less dire.
