Smudge pots and award

Photobucket

I will be blogging about Stila's Smudge pot Holiday Set and one of the Barbie Smudge pots that came out a while back.

Starting from the left: Violet, Black, Starry Night, and Kitten.

WITH FLASH: VIolet, Starry Night and Kitten... (Didn't swatch the black cause its black ahah we all know how that looks like)

I wore Violet (which looks blue on camera...i guess cause of the blue undertones) for my friends bbq and it got so flaky and nasty. I don't know if I am applying them the wrong way but they are so hard to work with.

Starry Night(navy blue with gold sparkles which is really pretty) I haven't used this one as much but I think this one and Violet would be better used as eyeliners.

I have used Kitten as a base but they dry off so quickly that if you put too much of it it looks chunky so I am lazy to use this but when I have use it it looks pretty with a shadow and eyeliner on top of it.

I LOVE the black one thought. I use this almost everyday and its creamy even as a base. ( I plan to buy the reg. size of this when I am done with the one I have. I think it has more staying power than M.A.C's fluidline).

This one is called "Little Black Dress". It has pretty pink sparkles in it. I had to have this hhahah. I have use this on the eyes and with "Cholita" from the KVD True Love palette and it works well. It is also drying but not as much as Violet. I used this as a eyeliner (winged eyeliner) for school this wk and the glitter got on my face and I also saw flaking with it :/.

Final thoughts-
They are very pretty colors but I don't know why the are so dry. I'm thinking its the glitter in them because the Black is not like the others. I will probably keep using them as eyeliners except for Black and Kitten.

Questions for you-
Have you used these? Am I doing something wrong or are the ones with glitter just hard to work with? DO you like them?

  2. Havent tried these yet but I've found a lot of these products end up going dry and flakey seriously quickly. The colours in the pics look fab but i reckon i'll just stick with Bobbi Brown for similar liners! :)
