Stila Kitten Smudge Pot, Black Cat Smudge Pot, Kitten Lip Glaze for Fall 2009 Review, Swatches, Photos

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009


Kitten Smudge Pot

Stila’s Fall Collection also included the launch of Kitten Smudge Pot, Black Cat Smudge Pot, and Kitten Lip Glaze. I have to tell you that I am absolutely in love with Black Cat. The swatches don’t even do it justice, just because the way the shimmer/glitter catches the light is stunning.  These new products will be available September 2009, but you might see them pop up on stilacosmetics.com earlier (perhaps late August).

  • Kitten Smudge Pot is a beige-y champagne shade. It’s definitely neutral, and it’s wearable alone or as a neutral base. It’s fairly frosty, though, so if you’re more of a matte finish person, this probably wouldn’t appeal to you. I like it as a one-swipe-and-you’re-done kind of color. It’s also nice on the lower water line.
  • Black Cat Smudge Pot is a fairly opaque black-base smudge pot with golden glitter/shimmer laced through the color. It’s really glitzy and reminds me of Hollywood glamour. This is awesome as a liner, but it also makes an awesome base for that totally dark, black smoky eye.
  • Kitten Lip Glaze is a sheer gloss with a peachy base and peachy-gold shimmer. It’s pretty, extremely wearable, and has a little stickiness to it. Compared to the Lip Enamel Luxe, it didn’t excite me so much. For those who love sheer, shimmering glosses with a neutral kick, this is definitely up your alley.

would love to see a swatch of how black cat smudge pot compares to 24K smudge pot? anyone know? thanks

I wish I had it to compare to!

how comparable is black cat to the 24k one...i'm just curious.

I think this has chunkier gold, and it's a little blacker, maybe.

i wonder what was that royal blue that the model had on in the promo pic? i really wanted THAT too!

No clue, I'll try to find out.

WOW, Black Cat looks amazing!

kitten smudge pot? oh my! so pretty!

Oh my god the smudge pots <3333

Haha, that's how I feel!

I was JUST thinking the other day that they should make an eyeliner out of kitten! I can't wait to get this!

OMG this looks awesome!!! How different do you think Black Cat is from the smudgepot in the summer collection? I wanted the 24k one but now I think I like this one even better!!

Hmm, I think this is blacker. Maybe the shimmer is more glitter-y than fine.

Any word on when this will be in stores? I'd like black cat and kitten lip glaze.

I think late August/early September.

Most... have... Stila... Kitten...AHHHH! Loff it!

I hope you love it, Elle!

Black Cat looks good & I love the name.

It's my fave item from fall!

I normally don't like stila but black cat will be mine.

I think the 2 smudge pots will make my collection - I love Stila Kitten!

Love the smudge pots! Good choices!

I like this collection! I'm not really impressed with Kitten anything, but the additional shades in this collection really catch my eye.

lol, Kitten anything, eh? :P

I agree with Meg, but Kitten looks a bit more shimmery :) and I've got my eye on GIGGLE! :)

Kitten smudge pot looks like MAC's bare study paint pot.

A little more golden/peach, but similar!

Will this come out at Sephora?

The Kitten Smudge Pot looks exactly like my Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in R.S.V.P.

ahhhh giggle...love the vibrant colour, even though im sooo not a pink person! :O

I like it, too, though not sure when I'd wear it, LOL!

Thanks -- Black Cat looks gorgeous! Did you try wearing it for any length of time on the eye? Does it smudge or stay like a fluidline?

It stays really well :) A little better than fluidline, actually!

I had my heart set on the 24kt smudge pot - looks like I'll be trying Black Cat instead. The black smudge pot was my introduction to the gel liners - I have always been a fan. I will skip kitten smudge pot since my go to one application and go is Benefit's Creaseless Shadow in either 'Birthday Suit' or 'Honey Bunny'. Kitten lip glaze is pretty too - may have to try that one out!

Black Cat is amazingg!! So pretty!

Glad you liked 'em, Lina!
