Stila Haul from HauteLook & Mini-Review of Eyeshadows and Lip Glaze

Remember when I told you about HauteLook’s Stila sale? Well, I finally had a chance to swatch the products I bought from them. The four products you see above cost me $30, plus shipping, which isn’t a bad deal at all! I did a look using the trio here, too. The circular designed product is Mazatlan eyeshadow. The other three products came as a set (along with a bronzer, which isn’t pictured, because I gave it away), the “Glow Bronzing Set.” It came with Stila’s Bronze Smudgepot, Gold Glow trio eyeshadow, Brown Sugar Lip Glaze (I think…), and then the bronzer.  Pretty good deal 🙂

My favorite out of the four products was the Lip Glaze, but I’m glad I got it on sale. I don’t see myself paying the $22 retail price for them otherwise!  It’s very glossy and smooth, great color, and it wears well throughout the day.  The two shadow trios I got were decent, but I’m not a huge fan of mineral (or mineral-like) eyeshadows… if it’s baked, I probably won’t fall in love.

See swatches!

Those look beautiful, esp. the eyeshadow colors! I’d gladly take them off your hands, haha. 🙂 At that sale I got the set of three lip glazes for dirt cheap, and am glad I did… I found them sooo sticky when worn alone, and would not pay $22 each for them!

I also got the bronzing set from the hautelook sale.
I dont use the eyeshadow that much and when I do, I use it wet.
I love the lipglaze and the smudge pot though.
I’ve never used mac fluidlines, how does it compare?

Christine, i have Stila’s Lip Glaze in Brown Sugar too – its really a lovely colour (paired with Touch lippy from MAC and its gorgeous!). But i hate the texture – very sticky and thick and i somehow feel that you have to be ultra gentle when applying the gloss otherwise the brush drags the lipstick off (which means i twist more gloss onto the brush – not good). Can you think of a dupe for Brown Sugar in Chanel or MAC pls?
