Some swatches from my ULTA trip - Stila Smudge Crayon Waterproof Eye Color is a new release for 2012, featuring 8 shades (I couldn't find the tester for Kitten and there is also a Sephora exclusive called Dazzle) of eyeshadow-eyeliner-eye primer, contained in an automatic (but not retractable) tubes. Anyway, they are basically a more user-friendly take on Urban Decay 24/7 jumbo pencils. Most of these crayon eye colors stay on without smudging if you give it some time to set (Midnight Blue was a little unstable) but I can remove them easily with a bit of water alone so I am not sure about the waterproof aspect...
Anyway, the shade Umber (looks like Maybelline Color Tattoo Pomegranate Punk) and Smoke are my favorites of the bunch. Smoke is an antique taupe that flashes moss green, purple and silver in different lighting.
Stila Sparkle Luxe Lipgloss are three very pigmented (especially the deep fuchsia) glosses infused with holo-glitter. They are not too sticky for the high-pigmentation and seems to have a light scent that's not offensive.
Wow, thanks for the excellent swatches! Dazzling lipgloss looks gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteok, cool. sorry, but how do you put in the photos...?
ReplyDeleteIf you installed Linkwithin on your blog by following the widget, all you do is continuing posting and it should do the rest for you. The widget works as a mini search engine in your blog that it crawls and fetches your older posts base on similarity. It uses the first picture of each post as thumbnail.
ReplyDeleteSince your blog is still rather new at the moment, there isn't many older posts for them to fetch but you will get more variety once you have built your archive.
