Review: Makeup: Stila Convertible Eye Color – Clove

September 15, 2008 Paris B 7 Comments

Stila’s Convertible Eye colors are one of Stila’s bestseller items. Stila was the brainchild of a makeup artist so I can understand the need for multi-tasking products when one is in a hurry or needs to lug their makeup bags to gigs. What the Stila Convertible Eye Color is, is a liner and shadow in one handy slim pen.

Stila Convertible Eye Color

So, am I enamoured with this product as I have been with the rest of Stila products I’ve tried?

The honest answer is no.

The problem with a product built for multi-tasking is that there is always a risk that one of the products don’t work as well as they should. In the Stila Convertible Eye color, that’s the eyeliner. The one I have is in Clove which is a bronze shade liner and powder eyeshadow in one.

The liner twists up from one end of the pencil and you can smudge it with the rubber smudger on the other end to soften the look and blend the eyeshadow colour. The liner colour is nice – a metallic bronze, and it applies smoothly without tugging.

The problem is that it smudges. I wore this on holiday to take it to extreme tests and in one hour, I was looking like a bronze eyed panda. I thought that perhaps it was too hot where I was, so I then wore it to work where I work in an air-conditioned environment and it smudged! The colour going on the eye is quite light so you do have to layer if you want it to show up.

The eyeshadow colour is contained in the middle part of the pen. Twist the middle and the pen comes apart in your hands. One side has a rubber smudger and the other holds the colour. Of course once you take it apart, the colour goes on the smudger and you use that to apply the colour on your lids.

Clove in eyeshadow form is lovely. A medium toned bronze that doesn’t scream bronze yet shimmers in the light. The applicator picks up just the right amount of shadow for your lids and applying it is a breeze – literally, just swipe and go. I used the shadow over the liner to try to set the colour but nope, it didn’t work and the liner still transferred. The eyeshadow is very little though so I’m not sure what I’ll do once the colour finishes!

So whilst the Stila Convertible Color for Eye gets the thumbs up from many, I unfortunately am not loving it. The Convertible Eye color comes in a range of different shades and I like the green one (Forest). I always like green for the eyes LOL… but I’ll look for the similar eyeshadow shade in the pressed shadow pans, because I’m not quite liking the liner. The Stila Convertible Eye Color retails at Stila counters for RM85 which I find a little pricey.

Pros: Handy for travels, eyeshadow colour is lovely

Cons: Expensive, liner smudges, little product for eyeshadow

    I have this too in the eggplant colour (not sure of actual name), and it smudges like mad too! Too bad cos I like the convenience and the loose shadow is a really pretty light cool purple. Now it sits sadly in my stash…waiting for me to use it again. I guess I need one of those sealants to use it without getting panda eyes!

    I have the Convertible Eye Color in Forest. Didn’t pay full retail cos I got mine as part of a makeup set 😉 After reading your review, methinks I need to get a bottle of MUFE Eye Seal soon! (How much does one bottle cost anyways?)

2022 – Hello World

Instagram @parisbmws – You don’t know what you’re missing

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.

Not everyday I wear something decent (I still live in crummy t-shirt, shorts & sweaty athleisure most days) so it merited a photo! 😆 
I put on a full face of makeup today and when it came to my eyeshadow, I had a brain fart moment and forgot where they were! 😂 Looked through 3 drawers before I saw them and even then I thought “Did I ever have THIS MANY?!” I guess I do. And before you ask, yes they’re all expired 🫢
