Stila Convertible Color Part V

During Stila's warehouse sale back in February, I added a few more Convertible Colors to my collection, Fuchsia, Gladiola, Poppy, Rose, and Sweet Pea. At the time, there was also a promotion for an extra 25% off of clearance, so I ended up paying less than half price each. I love bargains ^.^

'Tis the Season of Giving - Makeup Brushes

Updated Friday, February 24, 2017.

Last several brushes to go for charity!

I started buying brushes around the beginning of 2014, and since then some have become my daily go-to's and others haven't been touched. I've stopped buying brushes I think I need--I now know what I need and only buy those. So here's to hoping someone else might find the below brushes useful.

Stila Convertible Color Part IV

These Stila x Baublebar Gift Sets in Glow & Behold and Merry & Bright were from the 2014 holiday season. I've had them since last summer when they went on clearance. After months of using Canmake Cream Cheeks and the new Lip & Cheek Gels, I finally dug them out, ready for more Convertible Colors I don't yet have.

Stila Collectible City Palettes

These Stila Collectible City Palettes came out summer of 2012 and I've had them packed away since 2013, which makes this post super duper late. But late is better than never so here goes.

These are face palettes with 5 wet/dry eye shadows and a Convertible Color in a stylish and sleek compact with magnetic closure. There were 5 palettes available but #1 Lovely in London looked too red so I skipped it and went for the other 4 instead: #2 Stylish in Seoul, #3 Vibrant in Vancouver, #4 Rockin in Rio, and #5 Sensational in Sydney.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner Part IV

Another quick post for Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Black Amethyst since it's in a series. It arrived with the box crushed so I just threw it out ^.^

All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

Black Amethyst: I was really excited about this color thinking it would be a deep shimmery eggplant, something along the lines of Pixi Endless Silky 5-Deep Plum. However, it turns out to be a completely matte deep egg plant without any shimmers at all. It's still very pretty, but as you can see from the swatch (left, with Sparkle Waterproof Sequin at right) without any shimmer to offset the depth it just looks...black. If I sheer it out a bit I can see the eggplant, but that would defeat its purpose as a liner. Ha.

Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Part II

Snatched up another Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner recently in the color Sequin. This will be a really quick post since I've already reviewed the colors Flash, Rock Candy, Royal, and Starry in detail.

All pictures taken in natural light without flash.



Sequin: this is a gorgeous sparkling black that makes for some glamorous winged eyes ^.^ The swatch is on the left with Smudge Stick in Black Amethyst on the right (will post next).

Stila Eye Shadow Trios

I got these Stila Eye Shadow Trios at the same time as the Eye Shadow singles, intending to fill the 8-pans compact. And then somewhere in between all the moves, they got boxed away until now. Ha. There are several of these trios and I picked 5 I most likely will wear: 02 Rocker, 03 Venus, 04 Bella, 07 Ethereal, and 08 Gilded.

Stila Eye Shadow

I think I've had these Stila Eye Shadow singles since 2013 but never got around to review them. You see, this is because Stila eye shadows are wet/dry shadows, and as much as I love that versatility, swatching them is just...too much work =.= So I've been putting them off, and the next thing I know it's been two years. Ha.

Anyways, so here they are, finally! I bought only 3 colors even though there are, like, a gazillions colors (okay, fine, there are *only* 29 currently available): 14K, Prize, and Sparkle, though for some reason I photographed them in reverse...

Stila Convertible Color Part III

Stila had a warehouse sale recently, and among the sale items were these Convertible Colors in Dahlia, Hibiscus, Lotus, and Peach Blossom. Being a fan of the Convertible Colors I've always wanted to try more colors but it was too expensive at $25 a pop, because I'm cheap like that :P So now so with 40% off I couldn't resist ^.^

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Part II

Last of the Sephora Favorites 2014 Draw the Line set is this mini Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Dark Brown. In fact, I bought this set for just this liner, having been tempted with the mini in Intense Black from the 2013's set.

This Sephora Favorites 2014 Draw the Line also includes: Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12HR Wear Black Lace, Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon in Blacquer, NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Via Veneto, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion and Rockstar, and Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper.

Almost done with this Sephora Favorites Draw the Line 2013 set here with Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black. The rest being Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner Stingray, Eyeko Mini Skinny Liquid Eyeliner Black, Sephora Collections Long-lasting 12HR Wear Eye Liner 02 Glitter Black, Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes 0L Matte Black, this Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Intense Black, and the dual-ended Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Demolition-Perversion.

Stila Convertible Color Part II

I love Stila Convertible Colors but I don't want to pay $25 for a full size compact that I will never be able to use up. So over the holiday season 2013 when Sephora releases this Stila Collage of Color Lip & Cheek Palette for $10, it was a must-have for me. Even better is that three colors Peach Poppy, Coral, and Roseberry in the palette are all limited editions and are not in the permanent line up. Even better!

Stila Color Balm Lipstick

I was happy to have received a deluxe sample of Stila Color Balm Lipstick with a recent order. I've been curious about this lipstick for a while and it's available in a good array of colors, and although the color Vivienne I got is not one I would normally go for, I wasn't going to complain ^.^

Stila Prime Pot Part II

My second Stila Prime Pot, in the color Taffy I bought after Caramel turned out to be too yellow and too dark for me.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner Part III

More Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liners, hooray! ^.^ These are becoming my fast favorite and I nabbed myself another 6 colors: Aubergine, Blue Ribbon, Lionfish, Peacock, Starfish, and Triggerfish. Since I have reviewed them in details before, I will just go straight to the colors.

From left to right: Aubergine (accidentally tore the box, oops!), Blue Ribbon, Lionfish, Peacock, Starfish (tore this box too...), and Triggerfish. All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

I explored a little bit into liquid eye liners this year, and got a hold of these Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner a few months ago. There were several colors, but I chose the four I most likely will wear: Flash, Rock Candy, Royal, and Starry

Left to right: Flash, Rock Candy, Royal, and Starry. All pictures taken in natural light without flash.
