Any Stila fanatics here?

[Love Always Ivy]

i just tried my first stila lip glaze in vanilla and i LOVE it... but i hate the packaging

[shortcake]

LOVE Stila! There really isn't a bad product in the whole line! Some of my faves... Illuminating foundation, Lip glaze in Grapefruit, eyeshadows in Kitten, Golightly, convertable cheek color in Petunia... the list goes on...

[MAC_Newbie]

Ooh, I second that emotion! I love the convertible color in Petunia, it's pretty on the lips with some clear gloss on top.

I like MAC, but I *love* Stila. I just love it.

i think i start falling in love with Stilla

[Reenie]

Stila was the first "high end" cosmetic brand I ever tried, all the way back in 1998. That was when Jeanine Lobell still owned the company, and while I still and forever will love stila, it isn't the same as when it was still in the hands of it's creator. The products are still great, but they lack a bit of imagination and ingenuity.

I was a bit bummed to read that she's no longer listed as the brand's creator on the website.

The beautiful brainchild of a celebrity makeup artist, stila was created in 1994.

Enough ranting though. Hehe. I think out of all of the stila products I've ever used, my favorite is the Lip Glaze, specifically Vanilla and Banana. I also love the Convertible Color compacts. I really like that the compact colors match the product color. I remember when they were all just silver. (*lol*)

Anyone else a Convertible Color fan?

[iheartcolor]

I *love* Convertible colors!

I have Lillium, Petunia (amazing bright pink!), Gladiola (gotta love orange!) and Peony.

Must collect them all! I would scream with joy if they came out with a new color.

I am also always hunting for that CC palette they made a few years ago, before I knew what stila was

How do you like Gladiola? Is it super orangey? I really like the color, and I know it'll be pretty sheer, as they're all sheer, but orange is still kinda scary for me. *lol*

It does sheer out like you mentioned. It isn't *super* orangey - but it is more orange than say, coral or peach. Maybe I'll post a swatch!

another Stila fun checking in

[AlysonWithaY]

heyhey stila fans I'm a stila addict.

[vandael]

i cannot rave enough about stila smudge pots. LOVE IN A JAR. the older pots weren't too fabulous - extremely dry. but i'm in love with the new formulas and colors, especially jade and bronze. i just line my eyes with them and smudge my lower lid, turns out goooooorgeous! it dries really fast though, so i have to smudge on the quick. but a downside, the pot dries up really fast - maybe about 3-4 mos? so to combat that, i usually scoop them into sample jars. yay for product longevity. it's sad not being able to use it out of the jar though. it sorta takes all the fun out of it. especially since stila puts the color right on the lid. no need to turn to the bottom like mac fluidlines and paint pots. but as usual, you win some, you lose some. great product overall!

[tinadudum]

LOVE STILA!!!! When at Sephora, I walk straight over to Stila, even though I needed products from another line!!!
Here's a trick to the "dried out" smudge pots...
After use, close them tightly. Use product all around the pot, not just from the center. If still dries out, take a small piece of paper towel and then wipe off the first layer that is dry. The bottom layer will be moist, as it is protected under the dry one. Hope one of these tips works for you!!

[revoltofagirl]

I'm really starting to love Stila! I had a makeup consultation at sephora with one of the stila makeup artists and while I probably wouldn't wear the exact look she used on me I fell in love with smudge pots and lipglazes! I'm currently waiting for the illuminating tinted moisturizer to show up at my door step.

Could you post swatches of Petunia, please? I'm considering trying to get my hands Petunia and Peony for school and I'd like to see how they look.

[lustrare]

I've recently fallen in love with Stila, thanks to pinkiecharm on YT. My collection is still pretty tiny, but it's slowly growing. Their packaging is SOO cute!

I'm one of the few who doesn't like lipglazes, though. I really dislike the clicky pen, so I never bought one. Maybe someday.

[Ladyvirtuous]

I absolutely LOVE Stila e/s. They have a great texture, are blendable and have lots of pigmentation. I adore a shadow that I don't have to pack on like 50 eleven times. I just started collecting last month and now I have almost thirty e/s. And I'm still not done, lol. Oh yea, I also have the #20 brush. Love it!!

[dollbaby]

Yup,Yup! huge stila fan here!!! I wear the Illuminating Foundation every day and i'm obsessed with the lipglazes. Their eyeshadows are incredible and i love the packaging on everything!

[xo_Jen]

I like Stila very much! The illuminating tinted moisturizer is my fav.

[Shadowy Lady]

The only thing Stila I have are the Smudge Pots. I have them in Black and Jade and I just love them. I use them as base for color and also as liner. I haven't had any issues with drying and I'v had both products for more than 8 months. I want to try their lipglaze next

[Tudor Rose]

I love Stila! My collection isn't huge, but Beauty Crunch has helped it along. I loooooove the lipglazes. They're so pretty alone and layered over lipstick. I have the convertible colour duo in Lillium and Gerbera and love it too. So excited for the Barbie line.

[Bernadette120]

She's great! I think she has every Stila product... ever! She sold me on the lipglazes but I haven't tried them yet. I want to get my hands on Grapefruit and Apricot soon.

Stila is just lovely, I resisted it for ages, I don't really know why. I actually like the packaging a lot, especially the aluminium compacts for e/s, they're really sturdy. The lip pots/rouges are so old fashioned and romantic IMO!

Hideously expensive in Australia, though.
