Can't really argue with the price of these - only £2 GBP for a refill and the case is just so adorable. I have taken off one lippie because I think they could be a little more absorbent (or maybe I'm just a greaseball lol!)

Love the slant tip and scent of these, also I like the thick texture which I find longlasting on me. I always seem to have one of these on the go.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Convertible Eye Color in Stone
slwye 10/15/2008 3:51:00 AM
If I'm in a hurry, this is what I reach for. I can do a fantastic polished eye in about 60 seconds with this. I usually just use the liner along the top lash line and then apply the shadow over the top in a thicker line and blend out with the sponge. If I ever run out I will repurchase, this is so handy to have around.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Kettle Pro Eye Shadow
slwye 10/13/2008 5:52:00 AM
I found this shadow to have a lot less pigment than I was expecting. On the plus side this made it very easy to blend, however it really seemed to fade away to almost nothing even on my pale skin. I personally found it did not have enough pigment to make a good liner on me, and it was a bit messy to apply as I had to pack it on to get it to show up.

Fragrances -Victoria's Secret - Midnight Mimosa

For some reason this scent reminds me of a plastic toy I had when I was a child LOL! The staying power on me is terrible, it's gone after about 15 minutes.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Ebony Eyeshadow
slwye 10/6/2008 7:48:00 AM
Fantastic pigment, really easy to apply and lasts all day (and all night and into the next day too if I don't remove my makeup thoroughly enough!). I usually use this for tightling and on the waterline, pressed on gently with a flat brush. If I ever ran out (which I highly doubt) I would repurchase.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Aubergine-Amethyst duo
slwye 10/6/2008 7:39:00 AM
I love this, it really makes my blue-grey eyes pop, it somehow makes them look more turquoise colored. I use the dark shade to line, tightline and press gently into the waterline with a flat brush and it lasts all day. The lighter shade I blend lightly over the lid and apply more heavily in the crease.

Fragrances -Lea St. Barth - Lea St. Barth Extreme LE version
slwye 10/6/2008 4:48:00 AM
I love this in the bottle and when first applied, but sadly the dry-down on me has a nasty damp, musty, haven't-cleaned-the-bathroom-in-a-while smell. I guess it just doesn't work with my body chemistry.

Blush -Stila - Hint Blush
slwye 9/19/2008 3:56:00 AM
This looks like an insipid greyed down pink/peach in the pan, but don't be put off by it's initial appearance; it really packs a punch on the skin. I was very surprised to see how pigmented it really is, I only need a touch on my pale skin to give me a nice, very natural pink flush.

Shampoo -Korres - Aloe and Soapwort pH Neutral Shampoo for Frequent Use
slwye 9/18/2008 6:46:00 AM
I found this too thin and watery for my liking, I needed to use tons to get my hair clean (but I do have lots of very thick curly hair which is quite hard work to wash). I prefer something a bit thicker and easier to lather. It's not cheap in the UK either.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - The Comforter Bubble Bar
slwye 9/18/2008 5:32:00 AM
Easily my favourite bubble bar; such a yummy fruity smell and the bubbles last for ages. As other reviewers have said, you can get 4 or 5 baths out of one of these bars. p.s. if you like this, you might like to try Blackberry ballistic, my favourite ballistic :-)

Makeup Brushes -Stila - #24 Double-Sided Illuminating Powder Brush
slwye 9/18/2008 4:37:00 AM
This is the perfect face brush. I use the big fluffy end for blush (the perfect size for sweeping over Stila blush pans) and the flat end for applying liquid and cream foundations with a buffing action. So much better than the flat synthetic 'paintbrush' style foundation brushes which always left my foundation streaky! The only downside to this brush is that being double ended I find it tricky to store; I can't stand it up in my brush pot, or tuck it into the brush pockets in my m/u bag for travel.

Lip Gloss -Stila - guava lipglaze
slwye 9/18/2008 4:10:00 AM
Great, MLBB gloss, a HG for me. I love the fruity scent and although it is a little irritating waiting for the gloss to come through the click-pen mechanism I like the brush applicator.

Eye Shadow -Hard Candy - Eye Shadow Quartet-Fringe
slwye 9/18/2008 3:55:00 AM
I just rediscovered this palette in my stash and on me it gives a perfect 'office eye' for fall. Three great neutral shades for my MAC NC15 skintone, with a pinky plum shade that brings out my blue eyes. I find all shades have the perfect amount of shimmer and pigment for my skintone (although I am very pale skinned, so if you have a darker skintone YMMV). Two of the shades have glitter, but it is very subtle and I barely notice it once on; definitely not OTT. Goes on smoothly and very easy to blend, I love that the shades coordinate nicely so I can quickly apply a polished looking eye with just one palette. I also like the packaging, it seems tough and compact with a fairly big mirror.
