There’s always one brand you go back to, no matter how much
you try to experiment with different products. For me, Stila has become that
brand. As the frugal person I am, spending money on makeup is one of my least
favourite activities (despite how much I enjoy owning it), but sometimes you
really have to splash out on a product that you love. I really like Stila’s eye
shadow palettes and liners, but their foundation and powders beat them all.
Stila
Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer - £29.50 (Shade: 06 Cocoa)
This foundation and concealer is absolutely perfect for the colder
weather and contouring. The foundation is faultlessly thick without being too
light and is very pigmented so there’s no need to go overboard with the amount
of product used. The foundation can be spread lightly because it is such a high
quality, and I don’t use a lot each time. I love that the foundation comes with
a mini concealer on the top, which is a lot thicker but still the same shade.
It works really well against the foundation and can even be layered on top. The
product really is Stay All Day as I
can apply it in the early hours of the morning before work and never have to
touch-up before going out in the evening – plus, it comes with its own brush.
Stila
Stay All Day Bronzer for Face & Body - £28.00 (Shade: Dark)
If I’m using a Stay All Day foundation I need the Stay All
Day bronzer right? Well, that’s my logic anyway. I have always been a fan of
Stila’s powder and bronzer range because they really help foundation to set and
stay in place and absorb oils and grease. I used to use the Stay
All Day Bronzing Powder (which is currently on sale for £9.00) but recently
started using the bronzer for face and body – and I just love it. The best
thing about the bronzer is the setting power, and that it doesn’t come off
easily. There’s nothing worse than finishing a base for makeup, and then
finding brown fingerprints all over my white walls and doors. The powder doesn’t
lift off easily, meaning less need for setting spray!
This foundation has become the perfect product for the
recent warm weather. If I’m ever going for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look, this
foundation is the one to use. It’s so lightweight, I often forget I’m wearing
any makeup. The light, bubbly texture is ideal for the summer or being in the
holiday heat. The foundation is a lot more hydrating that the Stay All Day foundation
and keeps my skin fresh and able to breathe. The foundation blends really well
with other concealers, and is an amazing base for powders. Like the rest of
Stila’s line, the product doesn’t come off the second you touch it, so I don’t have
to worry about waiting for it to set.
Have you tried any of Stila’s face products? Did you like them?
This is a great haul! I wish I had extra money to spend on makeup but I am saving for my summer holidays! I haven't tried any Stila products but I see them all the time, especially when watching my favourite youtubers!

Despite hearing a lot about the brand (especially their lipglosses) I don't think I've ever owned one of their products. From this post it sounds like they're a great brand so perhaps I should give them a go :) X

I have a few Stila products, I adore the packaging of them, so simple and yet stylish. My favourite is their eyeliner which I ended up buying in 5 different colours!

I've never actually tried anything from stila before...I always kinda thought their packaging looked a bit cheap and that is one of my biggest turn offs when buying quite expensive products.
ReplyDeleteBut this actually sounds like a really impressive brand and they way you've photographed the products makes them look lovely. Maybe I should stop being a little snooty and go for it...!

I've only used Stila Convertible colour which I absolutely love and the only cream blusher that I ever hit pan with and the kajal eye liner. I should really pay more attention to the brand but for some reason I always get distracted by other brands.

I don't own a lot of Stila and I hardly ever use my In the Light palette but it's so good when you find a brand you love! That bronzer looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDanielle's Beauty Blog
I've never tried any Stila products actually. I would love to try something from their lip range though, I don't wear foundation usually so I prefer splurging on other items. They sound like they make great quality products.
