So hopefully next week I will finish my classes at the uni and have a bit more time to post new things. I've bought some new makeup these past few months, mostly at websites like HauteLook and ACW where I know I get the real product for a great price.
The other day I received my Stila Order from Allcosmeticswholesale.com. I ordered the Illuminating Liquid Foundation (SALE--$18.99; REG--$38.00) and a Convertible Color Cream (SALE $14.99; REG.--$25.00).

***Reviews will be done in a few weeks, I need time to try these babies in all kind of weather conditions***
STILA Illuminating Liquid Foundation
I ordered 60 watts because I read it was a good match for NC 35-37 skin tones. I think it is the first time I have ordered a foundation online without having looking at it personally to see if it was a match. It was! Phew! LOL.

STILA Convertible Color
The shade I got was Petunia. I'm a fool for colors that peachy colors, this one is more of a pinky peach (yes, I know, me and my product descriptions) and looks so nice on my cheeks.

Hope these swatches are helpful.
Petunia looks reall, really pretty. Their convertible color is one of the best products they have :)
ReplyDeletethat cream blush is sooo pretty Beda! I'm interested in the foundation. Does it last a long time on you? Also, how did u find ur colour match? I wanna order online and I don't know my shade in Stila :( I wear MAC sff in NW25 most of the year.
ReplyDelete@Becky: Yes it is! When I saw it was on sale, I decided to try it because of the nice things I read about it. I'm loving the texture and color payoff.
ReplyDelete@Saadeh: Well, I have found it works best when I set it with the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder (I will make a review of that powder, it is excellent--OH, btw, it does not takes the 'glowiness' out of my face, just tones it down a bit and I love it for now); It can last about 4-5 hrs on my skin. I do have to blot at least once. Bear in mind this foundation has mineral oil, so if you don't like that or have very oily skin I guess it is a no-no. But it looks so beautiful on my skin. I'm a fool for all things that are 'illuminating', lol. I've just started to use it so I don't have a final judgement about it.
About the shade, what I did was I consulted temptalia's foundation spreadsheet for NC35; I also check the product review section in makeupalley for this foundation in medium or tan skin (people post their shade in MAC and then say what shade they use in Stila) and finally look for blogs around the net and google "Stila NC35 shade" or something similar. I was very lucky though. HTH.
