Formula Overview
$8.00/0.04 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is described as "ulta-pigmented" and "long-lasting" that can be used as "a shadow, a base, [or] as a liner." There is a built-in sharpener on the opposite end.
The updated twist-up pencil eyeshadow formula is creamier, more pigmented, and performed more consistently across the board than the original Colour Stix, which were all over the place with performance. The only issue I had with the Shadow Stix is they weren't long-wearing on me; they had a tendency to fade between six and seven hours and some were mostly gone by nine hours. They were better wearing with a primer underneath or if they were set with powder (so used as a base).
They were creamy and comfortable to work with on the lid, and they had enough give and blendability to work well with fingertips or a brush to diffuse the edges of on the skin. I felt like it was incredibly easy to just buff and pat the edges for an all-over lid color, which was nice given about half the range were various neutral tones.

Would Friday Feels work as a blush from the texture and application perspective?
I don’t think it would be easy to work with!
Thank you, Christine!
Not too bad, Honey BB is a gorgeous colour.
Friday Feels for a nice wash on the mobile lid over primer would look summertime perfect!
Honey BB is nice, too. But more as a base for flakier eyeshadows. Same goes for the other 2.
I love Friday Feels! I think it could work alone or, as you suggested, as a nice base under a powder shadow.
Guess they didn’t improve it that much. Urgh I just can’t with this non long wearing business. The old ones kind of faded and disappeared especially at the corners of my eyes (where they sometimes water a little bit). This seems like it’ll do the same. At this price point I rather go for the Kiko sticks.
