Went to my local Shopper's Drug Mart for some cosmetics. For this purchase, price point wasn't priority, so I went for Stila Smudgepot in brown and In the Know eyeshadow palette. Hmm, not so impressed.
Smudge pot - do not like it at all. It is cakey, crumbly and dry. Even when I apply it with a wet liner brush, I still found it difficult to apply. Because it is so dry, it crumbles during application, requiring some cheek clean up. Did the name Smudgepot mean smudge on your cheeks and under your eyes?? Not so sure. Wear duration, not so great either. I can't even give this product a 2 out of 5.
In the Know Eyeshadow Palette - love the colours of this palette. Nice cream, sandy orange, terracotta, three shades of brown and browny medium and dark grey. Shadow applies nicely with brushes and colours blend well. My love stops there. Wear duration - not good at all. Even with an eye primer, colour doesn't last. As this isn't a portable palette and I'm not a touch up kinda gal, it just doesn't work for me. Very disappointing. This is Stila and I had high hopes, plus the colours are so nice. I keep going back to the palette hoping for a miracle that the product will stay. Still no miracle. I am giving this a 3 out of 5 because of the colours and if you don't mind touching up, you'll be pleased.
The eye palette came with a grey eyeliner. Goes on nicely, but it bleeds through the day onto under eye. Boo, not good. Rating 1 out of 5.
