Application


Verdict
Pro


This is my first cream blush, it was quite easy to apply with a brush (I didn't adhere to the finger tapping method because it didn't seem to blend too well).

I have olive skin and it gives me a natural flush, not too pink.

 Very sleek mirror compact :)

Con
The hair from your brush will get stuck in the blush -- I use a tooth pick to pick them out.. but you'll also get tiny fluff and what not as well. So, I really wouldn't use this as a lip product after I've dipped my brush into it. I guess you'll have to decide whether you want it as a blush or lip colour.

I didn't like it as a lip colour because it dried out my lips, it's quite a few shades lighter than my natural lip colour so it made me look washed out.

It's not as long wearing as my powder blushes.

Repurchase?

Maybe,  it takes me a long time to finish a blush and I'd like to try some other brands of cream blush for comparison.

Review: Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au
lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au

The only reason i wanted this was for the SPF.
My friend bought one last year I tried it and thought it was pretty light weight.

It's a light beige colour that would blend well with all skin tone.

If you want coverage, this is NOT for you.

lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au
Once blended it does give you a nice overall shine to your face.

This moisturizer does NOT contain any shimmer or sparkles.

I have dry skin, i rarely get a any glow on my face, my skin is rather dull looking. i wouldn't really recommend this to oily skin, it might make your face look overly oily.

This feels lighter than a sunscreen, but not as watery and light as i liked it to be.
I wouldn't really call the "shine" this moisturiser give "Illuminating"... rather you can probably achiever this "shine" by dabbing any sunscreen on your face.

However... Suncreen break me out at times.
This dosen't

here's a picture of the side of my cheek wearing only stila's moisturizer blended

Stila Eyeshadow Review & Swatch

lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au
Boring in pans amazing on fingers...







The first time i came across stila's eyeshadow was when i got my first stila set for my mum, she ended up only taking the lipglaze so i got to keep the rest.

I honestly cannot think of anything negative about their eyeshadows.
They are velvet smooth, pigmented, long lasting and for me, not as much fall outs as other eyeshadows. AND they blend BEAUTIFULLY.

SWATCHES:

Golightly- I swirled a full circle in the pan and look how pigment it is! it's a bronze colour

lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au

lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au
Wheat- a v. light brownish colour with gold shimmer

lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au
Kitten- MY FAV-- this is a highlighter colour with a pink undertone it's gorgeous for all over the lid as a base, as a brow highlighter, on the nose bridge or on your cheek bones for a nice glow.. it's so versatile! this one has quite a bit of shimmer in it. I've been wearing this to work everyday, after my 12hr shift my eyeshadow is still in place!
lilynotlouise.blogspot.com.au
Mystic- Another beautiful colour!!! Aqua green with green and shiver shimmer

Then i decided to rub all the colours from my finger tips on to my wrist to see just exactly how much pigmentation i can get out of it..
