Review: Stila Smudge Crayon in Kitten

I have just developed a huge crush on Stila products. After having their eyeliner recommended to me earlier this year I have been slowly making my way through their other products. My most recent purchase was the Stila Smudge Crayon in Kitten.

I had been looking for an eye brightener and had been considering purchasing the Benefit Eye Bright pencil (which I am still planning on trying) when I came across this option from Stila. I had not heard of the "Kitten" craze previous to my purchase, and I have never owned an eyeshadow stick or even any creamy type eyeshadows for that matter. I fell in love with the colour of Kitten when I swatched this shadow stick on my hand. I wasn't really thinking of its multi-use benefits at the time. I just knew that I had to have it.

Stila markets this product as a triple-action eye primer, eye shadow and eye liner. I have yet to use this product for any of these three uses. I have mainly been using it to brighten up my tear ducts and inner eyes, as well as highlighting my brow bone. It is the perfect light pink, glowy shade to be able to do this with. It is a fairly creamy consistency, so it is easily blended into my skin. It does set within a few seconds though, so you do have to make sure that if you are planning on blending it that you do so fairly quickly. I do plan on using this as an eyeshadow and as an eyeliner on my lower water line in the near future, and I will update its effectiveness in this regard once I have!

I also really love the packaging on this product, which I don't normally talk about in my reviews. This comes in a retractable tube with a sharpener on the end. This is really great because if it was dulled, the product would be pretty thick, and unable to make thin lines, which it is great for with a sharpened tip.

As previously mentioned, I am now a huge fan of "Kitten" as a colour. With the pink undertones in my fair skin I think it really works for me as a highlighter and even potentially as a base colour. I plan on purchasing the Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten, as well as the individual Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten in the near future.

If you are interested in purchasing this product, or any other Stila "Kitten" products, you can find them at select Shoppers Drug Mart locations, Sephora and through stilacosmetics.com. This product I purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart for $28.00. This price is standard regardless of where you purchase.

Are you a "Kitten" or Stila fan? Let me know!
