Stila Smudge Pots

I was lucky enough to be the receiver of this particular item and boy oh boy, I can’t wait for it to run out so that I can buy it! It comes in a durable little glass pot with a big, screw off lid. Inside, the product awaits, ready to be swept up with a brush (your own one, so if you don’t have a brush it’s best to buy one with your purchase) and applied to your eyes.

This product is so versatile, because it can be used as either an eyeliner or an eyeshadow, AND you can place it on your waterline. I’ll admit I did google it to see how much it costs – and where I can get it again – so the last sentence was google speaking. Hehe. But, in my defence, I have used the product as above and every time it worked out amazing!

Technicalities: It takes a while to dry, it doesn’t dry as fast as my other one. The formula is super soft and super manageable on the brush. You can easily blend it with a shadow or just by itself all over your eye for a great, smoky look.

As I said in the first sentence of my review, I will most definitely buy this again.

I love this!! I got a dark brown one my GoodieBox. I haven't used it as eyeliner yet as I'm not sure I'll get it right but it's a fantastic shadow. Stays on well & the colour stays true. Looking forwards to getting some more colours!

This was the first gel liner I tried. It was really nice and black and applied well. But ultimately it ended up drying out long before I was even half way. It's quite pricey and I wasn't stoked to have had it dry out to the point that it was no longer useable. I won't purchase again.

Being 100% honest, I did not like this product. I had it in "electric blue" and it was extremely dry which made it hard to evenly apply so I barely ever got to use it. It didn't last very long without creasing and I think that there are better products out there to do the same thing at a fraction of the price. Really disappointing to not have liked this as I thought it was going to be an amazing product :( Positive though is that the colour range is really nice and vibrant :)

I have this in the shade 'Kitten' which is a beautiful champagne shade. I use it all over the lid, not as a liner. This product is very expensive in my opinion for what it is, I personally prefer the Maybelline Colour Tattoo (Barely Branded is comparable but isn't as pink toned as Kitten) I found mine to be quite a dry consistency so it didn't apply very nicely to my lids and if I am not careful it can apply lumpy, I need to really warm it up between my fingers first. Within a month of owning this it pretty much became so dry I really haven't bothered with it whereas my Colour Tattoos which are kept in the same conditions are still going strong. I am curious as to what the darker shades are like especially as a gel liner but I won't be risking paying for them, mine didn't resemble anything like a gel liner. It's a real shame as I love the colour.

I have this in ultraviolet which is an amazing intense purple packed with microglitter. Its applies like a gel eyeliner and you can also smudge it to more of a cream shadow. Once its set it stays put. Even with the glitter in it it doesn't budge or fall in out. I have hooded eyes and this has never transfered. Its in a glass pot with a metal lid so is very sturdy. The texture is firm so keep the lid tight to stop it getting firmer although I've heard of people purposely drying out the brown to use on eyebrows. I think although pricey stila do the very best in cosmetics. There's nothing bad to say about this. 5/5
