So this past month I've been really obsessed with eyeliners. The product that I really enjoy using right now would be the Stila Smudge Pot. I have them in the colors Pomegrante and Jade. I purchased Pomegranate at a Nordstrom Rack for about $7-$8, which is a steal because they normally go for about $20 I believe... The Jade one was purchased on a discount site called All Cosmetics Wholesale for $9.99, which is also a steal! This site is awesome by the way... great service, fast shipping, and all products are 100% authentic and as described. You can also purchase these at Sephora, Sephora.com, Ulta, Ulta.com, or directly from Stila. Anyways... I just wanted to review these quickly and share with you how much I love them right now.
In short words,
Stila Smudge Pots are:
- Very pigmented
- Creamy
- Go on smoothly
- Smudge free once dried
In addition, Stila Smudge Pots can also be used as a cream eyeshadow, or cream eyeshadow base. I would use an eyeshadow primer before using them as a cream eyeshadow, just to prevent any creasing. These seriously last all day! Even after rubbing the swatches on my hand like crazy, they still won't budge. I would take an "after" picture of them after being smudged, but they look exactly the same as they did before the rubbing!
I would describe Pomegranate as a cranberry-maroon color. It's definitely a maroon red with a purple undertone with micro sized reddish shimmers. It kind of reminds me of MAC's Cranberry eyeshadow.
I haven't worn this alone as an eyeliner yet, but as an eyeshadow cream it's great! I'd definitely use it as an eyeliner with complimentary colors to avoid looking like you've got swollen eyes though.
Jade is a gorgeous olive green with golden shimmers. I pretty much love any eyeshadow or eyeliner of this combo. Gold and olive green just compliment each other so well and I think it really brings out the warm tones in brown eyes (which I have).
The picture of the swatches really does these no justice! I apologize, but I took these shots in my room under a flourescent light because there is no sun outside right now :(
The sheen from the shimmers are absolutely amazing and I highly suggest you check these out the next time you're at a Sephora or Ulta :)
Peace, love, and beasts,
Elizabeth D.
