Stila Convertible Color in Peony - Review

Stila Convertible Color in Lillium was my first ever Stila purchase,

I must have been about 16 and Sex in the City was all anyone in school spoke about -

to this day I still have never seen an episode and never will.

But I saw a photo of Sarah Jessica Parker applying her make-up using the mirror of a

Stila Convertible Color compact and knew that one of those pretty floral compacts had to be mine

and now Stila is back in the UK I am reliving my teen years!

As mentioned above the packaging of the Stila Convertible Color's is truly adorable,

metallic round compacts that are colour co-ordinated to match the product inside

and feature a dainty floral pattern on the outer shell and a sizeable mirror on the inside.

I can vouch that these little compacts can take a knock or two and as the product is cream

based you needn't worry about it smashing.

Stila Convertible Color's  which are 2-in-1 products - cheeks and lips,

come in 5 various shades, all of which are fairly neutral

and give more of a natural wash of colour rather than a bright bold colour statement.

This time around I have Peony which is a blend of brown and pink that leans fairly cool,

it reminds me of MAC Faux and is a great every day shade that will suit most as a lip shade

and light-medium skin tones as blush product.

The colour pay off is great and can be build up or sheered out depending on your preference

and settles to a natural matte finish that does not dry out the lips nor does it highlight enlarged

pores, fine lines or dry skin patches and is light on the skin resulting in a comfortable wear experience.

I find the Convertible Color's really easy to apply, for the lips you can simply dab on using your finger tips

or use a lip brush for precision. For the cheeks again you can dot on using the finger tips and then blend

out which is my preferred method or using a stipple brush.

In terms of wear it lasts around 2 hours on my lips and 6 hours on my cheeks before signs of wear set

in but do keep in my mind that my oily skin does effect wear time.
