Stila Convertible Colour Dual Lip and Cheek Cream

So generally as a rule I never used to like cream blushers,  I used to find them really difficult to work with and just used to prefer the finish of a powder blush. But after reading some rave reviews about the Stila Convertible Colour Dual Lip and Cheek Cream - what a mouthful, I decided to give it a go.


Upon approaching the Stila stand in Boots I was pleasantly surprised with just how many shades there were available in this certain product, there were 9 shades in total ranging from light peaches to rich dark bronzes and reds. I ended up with Petunia as I just felt this was the most middle ground of all the shades and a perfect start for myself, a cream blush novice.

I have to admit it did take me a while to get used to this product and how to apply it, resulting in quite a number of times ending up with me slamming the product down onto my dressing table in a huff declaring I wasn't ever using a cream blush again. But something about this product just kept pulling me back to try again and eventually I settled on applying with my ring finger and just gently dabbing until it was completely blended. I have just been applying the blush to the apples of my cheeks and I feel it gives a really lovely natural look. I have also really been enjoying using this product on my lips, I find it quite sheer but it seems to give a lovely natural shine and just a hint of colour. 

All in all, I really like this product and at £16.00 I think it is really quite reasonable for the quality of product you are getting, plus, technically you're getting two products for the price of one so nothing shouts bargain to me more than that. Stila, you've converted me.

  1. I always have issues with cream blushes, I find that you can go overboard quite quickly - great tip for using your fingers!
