one of the things i would love to do with my blog is familiarize people with brands that they may not know much about.
stila cosmetics has been around since 1994 and is probably most known for its champagne shimmer eyeshadow by the name of kitten. this shade is a beauty junkie cult classic. As i ravage my drawers and make-up bags every morning there are staple items i cant leave with out, it got me thinking...i read a ton of beauty reviews and follow youtubers and i feel like i never hear about stila brand and all it has to offer. there just isn't a buzz about it in the beauty community so i thought i would give it its due.
my top five stila products are:
5. convertible lip and cheek color. retail for $25
i personally own three shades and have repurchased the peach tone multiple times. these give the perfect flush of color, a Dewey finish you can apply with your fingers. the pay off can be bright but easily blendable since it is a cream.
4. stay all day liquid lipstick. retail for $22
when they say stay all day they mean it! i have even eaten lunch with this on and it stays put! i personally have only tried the matte shades but they have glossy as well, and the color range is beautiful!
3. in the know palette. retail $39
this palette holds ten all matte shadows. it has a variety form cool tone grays a few warm transition shades and even a basic cream and black. my personal favorite in this palette is a shade called fire, it is a unique burnt orange color. in addition this palette comes with a eyeliner. if you love matte shadows this is a must buy for you.
2. stay all day foundation. retails for $44
i have used this foundation for about a year now, only stopping to try other foundations to only return to this one. the formula is on the thick side but the consistency is almost like a mousse. it is very easy to blend out, i use a flat to kabuki to apply this but any foundation brush would work. it is medium to full coverage and has a matte finish. i have combination skin and this works perfect for me. this product also comes with a concealer and small brush ( neither of which i use )
1. all day waterproof liquid eyeliner. retails for $20
this is the BEST! eyeliner i have ever used and i have tried a ton! it is no joke when i say i cant live without this. it is the felt tip type liner and is great for a precise line and very easy to wing out your liner. the black is very black and it stays on all day. i cant say enough good things about this liner, it is very user friendly for people who are just starting to wear liquid liner as well. they offer a wide variety of shades and never disappoint!
for me the only draw back to this brand is its packaging, ugh. you can find stila cosmetics at Ulta, sephora and nordstrom.
happy shopping!
