I bought this during Stila Clearance Sale in Parkson KLCC last year. I bought it because it is pretty in packaging and it's quite cheap. But seriously I do not know how to use it at that time ! After trying few times, I kinda give up and kept in my cupboard and totally forgotten about it. Until recently when I was arranging my cupboard, I took it out again and telling myself I am going to give it a final try to put a test on myself again ...especially I have attended so many workshop and pick some skills.
This convertible colour is in cream in texture and its for cheek and lips.
A little background of this from Stila's website
Stila's ingenious lipstick and blush-in-one proves to be irresistible. As seen in In Style's Best Beauty Buys 2008! This versatile favorite brightens cheeks and lips with creamy, translucent color. Tap onto cheeks and press onto lips. The sheer tint adds an inherent glow to the cheeks while lips bloom with fresh, radiant color. Our two-in-one compact holds the key to easy, monochromatic makeup. A must-have in every stila girl's kit.
Swatch : On the left is the first swipe without blending and on the right hand is after I have blend it.
I applied on my lips and the colour come out quite nice, its in nude colour and came out looking like clean lips. However it is a bit drying, therefore advisable to put on lip conditioner/Vaseline before applying this.
The blusher for my cheek colour was very natural after blending with my fingers, with slight touch peach pink colour. And the only advice I could offer is don't be greedy. Put a little bit and blend blend blend, remember to smile while blending and put on loose powder to make the makeup stay. The different between Nars Orgasm and this is Stila Convertible Colour in Peony is that although both colour are quite similar however Nars Orgasm have slight touch of shimmering gold dust on top of the peachy pink blusher. And of course the latter one requires skills/time in getting the correct blending.
p/s: I think I'll be taking this out to use more often than before, especially cream one can last longer than powder blusher one..
My Star Rating
the color is too pale for my liking.
ReplyDeleteLavendar : The colour is quite intense actually, but I only put a bit and blend ... last time first time I take out and play the colour scare me off cos that time I don't know how to blend..hehe
ReplyDeletei have one in peony too, i really like it as a blusher because it stays on my cheeks for at least few hours without touch up
