Disclaimer: I purchased this.
I've been on a bit of a cream blush kick lately, so when I saw this palette of 5 convertible creams from stila, I decided I needed it. Okay, needed is not quite right, as I'll never need another makeup item for the rest of my life. But you get the idea.
These are housed in a tin that takes up a little more space than I prefer, and another downside for me is that the names of the creams are only on the outside wrapper. Beyond that, I've got no complaints :-)
The colors are easy to blend and I don't find that they mess up my foundation in the process. With the exception of Rose, the colors are more on the subtle side, providing a nice flush of color. So, no clown cheeks :-) Kitten makes for a good cream highlighter, and all of these can be used on your lips as well. Versatile!
I've got oily skin and find that these work fine on me. There is a slight tack to them initially, but I don't notice it once I've applied. Wear time is pretty good, and I can still see color 7-8 hours in. My makeup starts to degrade by then due to the oiliness of my skin, but I wouldn't let a cream blush scare you if you have oily skin. I always set with a finishing powder and the combo wears quite well.

The Color Me Pretty palette is $28 and is one of the limited edition stila 2013 holiday offerings. If you are fan of their convertible creams and don't have these colors already, I think it's a good deal! A regular size convertible cream is 4.25 g and goes for $25, and you are getting over twice that amount at 9 g for $28, plus the variety of colors. This pleases the bargain hunter in me :-)
Yea I think this is a great idea since individual convertible colors are so expensive!! But I actually very rarely use my convertible colors, I think I just prefer powder blush better because it's much quick to apply!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start pulling out items I like but rarely wear and start giving them some attention. Kind of a dedicated use project :-)
