Product Reviews: Stila's Perfecting Foundation Stick

Suzanna here with a product review. As of lately, I've been on the hunt for a good foundation stick for fall that wouldn't be too heavy on my skin or too glossy-like. After searching high and low, come see if I've found the right one in Stila's Perfecting Foundation.

After having a long hiatus from a certain cosmetic brand (cough - Mac), I've decided to start using their pressed powder foundation and to my dreadful surprise my face became even more oily and formed minor outbreaks. At that point I decided that enough was enough - I would look for something new. I know first hand how difficult it can be to find the perfect foundation to fit your beauty needs. It took me a few months but I think I've found the perfect one at Perfume WorldWide.


I'm sure that many of you have heard of Stila Cosmetics and a few of you might have overlooked their foundations - assuming their shades were limited for color women. Well, I'm here to convince you to give Stila's perfecting foundation a try.

The product description states "Unique in formulation, this stick foundation provides build-able coverage for a perfectly polished, semi-matte finish. Perfect for all skin types and can be reapplied throughout the day. Select a shade that blends with and complements your skin tone."

Enough with the potatoes, here's the beef: First, to give you a better understanding of my skin's complexion - in a MAC's world I'd be a NW45 (in Studio Tech) which is equivalent to a shade K. At first I was skeptical that Stila's foundation would do the trick but to my pleasant surprise it more than surpassed my expectations. The first thing I realized was how well it blended in with my skin. Although the shade variations lack in quantity - it's blending ability makes up for it in quality. The pictures captured the natural, healthy and radiant appearance it gave my skin. A little application can go a long way. This foundation stick also doubled as a concealer and the best part was that it didn't clog my pores at all!

The perfecting foundation contains a creamy soft texture which causes it to glide over your skin like butter; leaving behind a noticeably satin (but not oily) finish. If not blended well it can look heavy, but smoothing things out with your fingers or applying it with a foundation brush, solves this problem. When it's carefully blended, you'll get medium to almost-full coverage. The perfecting foundation stick comes in 13 different shades - costing you only $29. I'd recommend Stila's perfecting foundation stick to women of all skin types and colors.

Soon after I completed the product review, I immediately called up my gal pals and announced that I'll be settling down with a special something in my life for a while. I think I'm in love ;)

Whatever Happened to Them Wednesdays: Customer Appreciation

Whatever happened to getting something for nothing.... remember the good ol' days when cosmetic companies actually cared about what you thought and gave great customer service? Nowadays, whenever you walk into a cosmetic/ beauty store, the first thing they'll ask is if you've signed up for their store credit card and rewards program (which rewards you a very low fraction on the dollar) - no "Hello"," how was your day", "how can I help you"...... zilch!

But wait, it gets better; when you ask for free samples the sales rep will look that at you as though you've just insulted her mother. Did they forget that we're still in this recession?!?! Why would I purchase a $50 foundation without sampling it out first. Whatever happened to beauty and cosmetic coupons that were worth more than free shipping? There's a lack of customer appreciation in the beauty retail world that's extremely ugly.

On the flip side, here's your something for nothing: Fashionwithfifi.com and Stila Cosmetics wants you to know that you're appreciated. Here's what you'll get:
