Review : Stila Waterproof Eyeliner in Stargazer

First of all, I would to sincerely apologize to Ms. Suyen for not posting this review as soon as I received this. But of course, I wanted to thank her for being so kind and understanding. And to all of you guys, I told ya last 2 weeks that I'll be posting this review just after I finished the lipstick reviews, but it took me so long to post this because I am not able to buy new camera. Thankfully, last night, my "kakarag-karag" camera works again and I grab the opportunity to take picture of this product so I can finally state my thought and write my review about it.

Anyway, you all know that I am a thrifty person, so I don't usually buy eyeliner which will cost me more than 100 pesos. But I still have the curiosity and "lust" on expensive brands like Urban Decay, Stila, MAC and etc. Fortunately, I had the chance to try one of the amazing product from STILA.

As I mentioned on this post, I was chosen as the "Guest Blogger" of House of Flair for the month of November. So, HOF immediately sent this product to me the day after it announced the blogger of the month:

If there is one thing that I cannot forget in my daily routine, that is "Eyeliner". Why? Because I don't have the tantalizing eyes. I have chinky and boring eyes, so eyeliner is,well my Hero. It brightens up my eyes and needless to say, it truly change my look. I feel confident and pretty "wink*wink*" with eyeliner and bold lipstick! But upon using cheap eyeliners in the market, honestly, I haven't met the perfect one. Does Stila eyeliner  will win my heart despite of being an imported product? Keep on reading below and see what's special about this eyeliner.

Here is Stila Smudge Proof Waterproof Eyeliner. This is actually comes in a set called "Seeing Stars Smudge Stick Set" for $32 but you can buy it individually at House of Flair. It comes with 5 different colors:

• stargazer (black with gold and silver pearl)
• angelfish (metallic pewter)
• tetra (deep shimmery purple)
• moray (golden olive shimmer)
• oscar fish (warm brown with gold pearl)

It is said to be "perfect for any day or evening holiday look,waterproof and long-wearing shade in a propel pencil won’t smudge, budge or fade through holiday cheer or seasonal weather." 

Hmm, sounds promising right? Let's see later on my swatch test if it really is smudge and water proof.

The product information was labeled on the eyeliner.

Ingredients: Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG/PPG-19/19 Dimethicone, Synthetic Wax, Hydrogenated Polydicyclopentadiene, Nylon-12, C20-40 Alcohols, Perfluorononyl Dimethicone, Silica, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, Polyethylene, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Tocopherol, Tin Oxide, May Contain (+/-) Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Bronze Powder (CI 77400), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Aluminum Powder (CI 77000), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Carmine (CI 75470).

I really love the pencil packaging, it also has glitters on which is also of the same glitters on the actual product. The pencil itself looks sosy. hehe

It is a retractable pencil so it's easier for me to control the product.

So here's the swatches on my skin:

I just lightly swatch the liner on my skin, so you can see how pigmented the liner is.

On macro shot, you can see the gold and silver shimmers. But if you don't like shimmers, fret not because it doesn't actually shows when applied on eyelids.

The moment of truth, here is the water test:

Take note that I hardly rubbed the eyeliner to see how smudge proof it is. See the pictures below and let it do the talking:

As you can see, my skin turns red, it only shows that I truly rubbed my skin hard! Lol! :D

And again, I put my arm under running water and rubbed it until 20 rubbed.

Tortured arm? lol. Grabe, it is really hard to remove. So, are you convince that this is really waterproof and smudge proof? If you aren't convinced yet, then here's another picture:

I applied this on the said time. After 9 hours at the office, I ate dinner and haven't washed my face yet, here it is on:

*10:13 PM

Almost 14 hours had been passed and you can see that the eyeliner is still on my eyelid with just minimal fading. And yes, fyi I have oily face and eyelids. It looks like it will stay good even after 20 hours!

                   

Recommendation:

Yes! I still recommend this product despite of it's availability. I know it will cost you $32 if you will buy this on Stila as set, but don't be sad because you can buy this at House of Flair in super affordable price and individually. And also, I really like the product not because it was given to me free, but the real thing is that it is one of the best eyeliner I ever had. I am really snob when it comes to expensive makeup but shelling out P400+ for this eyeliner is really worth it.

Do you want to try this eyeliner? Or would you like to order imported makeup or anything from the US but afraid of paying "High Shipping Fee's"? Oh, I felt the same way too, but fret not because House of Flair is to the rescue! (I sound corny, sorry!).

You can pre-order anything from the US (except for food and electronics) like imported cosmetics (UD,Stila,Nyx,MAC and everything else) books, magazines, collector's or limited items (i.e. Hello Kitty products), shoes, bags, clothes, home items (such as kitchen utensils & candles) children's toys etc.

As a matter of fact, House of Flair ships all orders for free nationwide at no minimum order amount. Actually, I already tried it to myself, you can read my experience on "My First US online shopping through House of Flair HERE. Believe me, House of Flair is a trusted online store, plus Ms.Suyen (the person behind HOF) is very approachable and kind. I already tested it since I am very "makulit" upon my first transaction with her, but she is very patient in answering all of my queries.

In latest five years, more and more accesses are made towards the street talents, for instance, LOOKBOOK.NU and chictopia and so on.Runaway is no longer the only origin of fashion inspiration. In the next 5-10 years, or even half a century, the streets will become the exclusive type of an important trend. Wherever you are in a small village in Switzerland or in the fashion capital New York, whether you are a student with a love of fashion or a fashion blogger, in the absolute world, the street is runway, where you can prove to the whole world that “I am a fashion girl” with your styling inspiration and cameras.

Cost: P1,830.00 
(Originally at P3,555)
Bought: Free
Where: ZipzShoes via Multiply
Shipping Fee: Free

 

Okay, I admit it, I am a shoe lover slash shoe addict. Hence, when I was in grade 2, I started wearing sandals / heels for special occasions or event at school.

And I started loving them more when I was in high-school. And when I reached college days, when we were allowed to wear whatever shoes / sandals that we want, I always wear high heeled shoes. And even now, working as an office girl, high heels have been my dear bestfriends. I find happiness every time I wear them. But honestly, high-heeled shoes are not COMFORTABLE, there's a saying goes "Tiis ganda", yes you have to endure the pain when you are walking and those calluces that you might get specially when you're shoes are new. And yet, it will get worse when you knew that your new pair of high-heels will suddenly gives you a lot of pain after walking on it for just an half an hour or the worst thing is, when (mapipilay ka pa pag natapilok ka). I'm guilty of compromising COMFORT whenever I see gorgeous pair of high heels.

That's why I told myself, when will be the time that I will look for something else that will give comfort on my feet? Why shouldn't I give it a try to change my style and go for a bit ragged look? Then I make up my mind and said to myself that I will soon buy a pair 

(when I have money na) of sneakers / rubber shoes, so whenever I will be at the field, no more pain and calluces! 

Good thing is, ZIPZ shoes came to my way! Multiply was so generous to give 3 pairs to 3 persons last time they had their promo, and fortunately, I am one of the winners!

 (Click here to know more of the story).

(Sorry, it took so loooong before I was able to post a review about the shoes, I waited for the day that I can wear the shoes so I can tell it to you guys if the shoes are comfortable or not).

Well anyway here it is. The shoes arrived at home last June 16,2012. I wasn't the one who received this since I am on my way to TBJ Meet and Greet at the moment that it has arrived. So it was mom who received the packaged, the courier even told her that  our house are too far away from the city and it was his first time to reached our town! (lol, we live in Rizal kuya, sorry!).

The shoe box is very thick, which is a must so the shoes will not be deformed.

Tentenenen. Fresh from the box!

 More pictures:

I chose this Dragon Roze Slip On adult.

 The zipper :) What an amazing idea right?

 The back view, I really love the "Z" logo there!

Closer look to the design.

The logo at the insole.

 Isn't it amazing that even the out sole has embellishment?

The zipper :)

Here's how it looks like when worn:

It's moi, looks so haggard! This was after work. It's my second time wearing the shoes! See I am not wearing socks here, and take note, I did not get any blisters or any foot ache :)

It has  interchangeable cover in white, which I can use alternately with the Dragon Roze cover. When I wanted to be simple and plain I'll go for the white cover, but when I wanted to look more chic and add some details on my outfit I'll definitely go with the Dragon Roze cover!

Changing my shoe cover!

Gross! Hehe, ang dumi yata ng paa ko nung sinuot ko sya. Anyway, here's how it looks like when the shoe cover was removed.

Washing instructions at the back of the shoe cover.

Verdict:

If you are asking about my honest opinion about the shoes, it is COMFORTABLE, COOL and UNIQUE. No need for me to wear socks. Honestly saying, when I was riding on the jeepney, some of the passengers even the college student near our office can't stop looking at my shoes. I know it was their first time to see this kind of shoes. And yeah, i feel so mayabang, pero a little lang naman. hehe I feel cool whenever I wear this, cause it's unique naman talaga. And very practical to use because the covers are washable! Which is a must since we are experiencing rainy season.

Recommendation:

Yes! I do recommend it to everyone. To students, workers or anyone. If you want to be more unique with this interchangeable shoes, go for it! You will definitely love this shoes! And take note, even famous celebrities in U.S wear this like:

Glee Star Harry Shum

American Idol, David Archuleta

Wizards of Waverly Place Maria Canals

Twilight cast Jackson Rathbone
