guest blog - heather from hello beautiful

Jul 27, 2011

We are excited to share an amazing review of our smudgestick eyeliners!  Like all of us at stila, heather from hello beautiful is in love with this fantastic product.  Read why below and check out the q&a to learn more about her.






i love my stila smudgestick!

love stila's smudgepots but hate the fuss? the stila smudgestick is a smudgepot in an easy to apply eyeliner applicator.  true to stila form, this liner is extremely pigmented, and the staying power is second to none.  the best part?  once you've applied this liner, it literally doesn't budge!  this liner doesn't flake, transfer, or fade.  the color range is beautiful;  my personal favorite is stingray;  a very rich matte black.  atila also has colors ranging from a beautiful slate blue (blue ribbon), to a must-have bronze sheen shade (lionfish).  and this liner will last you a very long time.  a little goes a loooong way!  here is why I put stila above all other traditional pen/pencil eyeliners:

pigmentation:  atila is best known for their superior color pigmentation - the smudgestick is no exception
ease of use:  this retractable eyeliner glides on smoothly and blends easily
waterproof:  yes, this is actually a waterproof liner
color range:  stila's colors range from rich matte to eye-catching shimmer shades
smudge-ability:  this product can be smudged; however, it does set quickly

this pencil is not meant for the waterline, though.  you are better off using a stila kajal eyeliner or the traditional smudgepot for the waterline.

stila is a fantastic company with consistently superior and innovative products;  the smudgestick is no exception and i highly recommend it!

christine avanti shares her healthy beauty tips!

Jul 20, 2011


last week, we were on the set of the photoshoot for christine avanti’s new book. christine, a top la nutritionist shared some of her healthy beauty tips while the fabulous viviana martin did her makeup for the shoot.  check out these fun photos of viv and christine, and read below to learn how food can enhance your appearance.


-tired of puffiness under the eyes?  christine says that coconut water is a great option to reduce puffiness.  she also recommends caffeine if you are in a punch.

-want your skin to look better?  add omega 3s to your diet.  foods like salmon, walnuts, and grass fed beef are all great sources of omega 3s.

-what about damaged hair?  we all want healthy looking hair that grows.  according to christine, the vitamin biotin is your best bet for generating results with your hair.



thanks christine for your amazing tips.  and viv, we loved the makeup – especially the new custom color blush in coral!  it looks amazing on christine!

xoxo, stila
