If you remember my post about my first purchase from StrawberryNET, I was given a FREE Stila Perfecting Foundation Stick for first time customer with minimum purchase of USD25!
I have never tried any Stila products before, in fact, this is my first ever Stila product! :) And it's given to me FREE by StrawberryNET! How great is that? :) The original price for this foundation is USD29 (approx RM91) so it's actually a very generous free gift indeed! I chose Shade A for my foundation. Actually, i was a little worried when choosing the shade on the website because i've never purchased foundation online before due to the unpredictability of the shade. Foundation is still best purchased offline where you can try out the shade on your own skin, but there's always a first time :D And my first time did not leave me disapointed!
This is how the the foundation look like from the stick. You have to twist the stick and the foundation comes out just like a lipstick.
Lo and behold! my chosen shade suits me to a tee! This is how it looks like on my arm unblended. When it's blended, it matches my skintone! how fortunate! :)
I have been using the foundation for a week to work (until i bought my Diorskin Nude Loose Powder which i will talk about on another day.lol) and i love it! I normally draw some stripes on my cheeks, chin, nose and a little on my forehead and i just blend with my fingers. It took me a very short time and certainly helps when i'm pushing for time in the mornings. The best thing? It conceals quite well and does not appear cakey or mask like on my face :)
tq StrawberryNET for the very nice gift!
- conceals quite well
- shade A looks natural enough on my skin
- fast and convenient to use when you are on the go
- the twist stick my malfunction one day. i've experienced a few times when i can't get the foundation out. but i've discovered the trick of twisting it out upside down. i guess the gravity helps to "pull" out the foundation. however, in this hot malaysian climate, i'm afraid one day the foundation will melt inside and it will be goodbye forever
