STILA Festive Gifts

 

Treat yourself or a beauty addicted loved one to a fabulous gift from Stila this Christmas.

With a brilliant selection of gifts available, there’s something for everyone and for every budget!

Two of my top picks this year are the Pay it Forward set and Kindness is Cool set.

 

 

Get your glam on with Stila’s Pay It Forward Mascara & Dual-Ended Eye Liner Set (£38-Worth £44.00).

Featuring a full size Huge™ Extreme Lash Mascara paired with Stila's award-winning dual-ended liquid eye liner, this sleek little kit will ensure that all eyes are on you this festive season.

As its name may suggest, the HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara creates the biggest, boldest, blackest black lashes ever.

 

 

The curved shape of the brush mimics the natural shape of your eye, making it possible to grab each and every lash.

Crimped bristles catch, hug and coat every lash, even the tiniest ones for a full, fluttery effect.

Formulated with a custom blend of soft, flexible waxes it is possible to build serious volume without ending up with clumpy, spider leg lashes and conditioners within the blend help to lock in moisture so your lashes stay soft coat and coat.

 

 

Its long-wearing formula ensures your lashes are locked in place all day long plus there’s zero smudging, melting or flaking going on here.

Just long, curvaceous, voluminous super black lashes.

 

 

Now, no mega lash look would be complete without a slick of ultra-black eyeliner, but lucky for you you’ll also find the Stay All Day® Dual-Ended Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black.

This chic, sleek liquid liner features not one, but two tip applicators conveniently united on either end of the pen.

Ideal for creating the most perfect and precise lines every time, one side of the pen features Stila's #1 selling waterproof liquid liner, the Original  and other side features the Micro Tip’s ultra-thin applicator.

 

The waterproof, silky formula glides across the skin without catching or dragging, drying quickly, never to smudge or run.

Use the Original precision-like end to deliver any look you’re after, from a thin line to a bold, dramatic stroke and move over to the Micro Tip for an ultra-precise tip for superior control and accuracy.

The result, dramatic, dazzling eyes!

Now you’ve sorted your peepers its time to move to your pout!

 

 

 Stila’s Kindness is Cool Liquid Lipstick & Lip Liner Set (£30-Worth £37.00) is an essential lip kit featuring the brands iconic liquid lipstick and matching lip liner.

 Wrapped inside a luxe gold presentation box you’ll find a full-size Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick in the shade Patina.

 

 

This hugely popular, iconic shade offers an elegant dusty rose hue and boasts incredible staying power!

Featherlight and silky in texture, the formula has been enriched with Vitamin E and Avocado oil to deeply nourish and condition your lips, leaving them feeling soft and comfortable despite the matte finish.

 

 

The lipstick hugs your lips, clinging on tight without bleeding or transferring and stays put like a stain.

Its easy to see why this is an award-winning, cult favourite!  

Now no lip would be complete without a matching liner, so step forward Stay All Day® Matte Lip Liner in the shade Everlasting.
