My dear lovelies, how are you all today? As you may have seen on my Instagram, I was gifted a gorgeous, gorgeous product from the new Ilia Fall 2015 Collection. Thanks again babe! ;) <3 I've received their Silken Shadow Stick in the shade Age of Consent. Interesting name, right? :) I love the look of all shades they came up with, but this brown shade is definitely my favourite. It's an ash-brown shade with small golden-brown shimmer and bigger silver particles, glitter I'd say. Nothing matte about it. I absolutely adore it.
It's super beautiful, flattering, enough neutral even for my natural makeup looks, gives a great shine metallic look
to them lids and it's just so darn easy to use. I swipe it on and blend
with Bdellium Tools 785 brush. Big thanks to Ashley aka The Green Bunny for
talking so highly about it, it really is that awesome as she says it is!
And yes, I'm usually that lazy and I only use this product. And a bit of
highlighter in the inner corners of my eyes and on brow bone. Done. I am
thinking of pairing it with orange/apricot colour or darker brown eye
shadow in my crease, I think it would look nice. One thing I have to say about it is that sometimes when I apply it there are some lumps, but nothing a bit
of blending won't solve.
Other thing is, that it creases. It's creamy so a little
creasing is to be expected, but on me it creases like crazy. I
know it looks like that on the pictures bellow but my wrinkly eyelids are to be
blamed here and not the product. I get "real" creases in about an hour
or so. But please keep in mind that my eyelids are oily and I'm still
looking for a great eye shadow primer. I've tried a few different
techniques when applying this Ilia shadow stick, I hope I'll think of
something else that will help. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. :)
Have you tried anything from the new Ilia Collection? I'd also love to try the foundation, looks beautiful!
Much love,
Jana xx

Gorgeous colour on you Jana and I love the make up look you put together. Such a stunner. Oh, and I'm desperately looking for a good eye shadow primer too!! I can't wear any eye shadow because whenever I do it creases so much and so quickly =(( The only thing that has stayed on well is Gressa's Lumiere...doesn't crease nearly as much and the colour stays on well. Sooo, we need to let each other know if we stumble across a great primer! xx
OdgovoriIzbrišiAww Nic, you're so kind, thank you very much!<3 Ugh so annyoing you have to deal with oily eyelids too! :( Happy to hear you found at least one thing that stays well on you :) Yees, definitely!! Hopefully one of us will soon find something amazing! :) xx
Izbrišibeautiful color! I really need to try the new stuff from ILIA; it all looks so stunning!
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt would look so great on you! :) Agreed, all collection looks gorgeous! x
IzbrišiDear Jana, it looks absolutely stunning! But I have the same problem with creamy eyeshadows: they crease no matter what I do. I'm trying 2 eyeshadow bases by The All Natural Face right now which I heard so many good things about but my cream eyeshadow still creases -.- ...I tried a lot of "alteranative" methods as well...I need to try the RMS Un-Powder before using such eyeshadows sometime soon because everything else did not work yet. So I can feel you x) . And it's a shame because there are so many beautiful cream eyeshadows out there. Lots of love <3 .
OdgovoriIzbrišiTheresa, thank you so much, my darling!<3 Oh no, so sad to hear they don't work with you. Isn't it annoying when you read amazing reviews and then it doesn't work on you? :( You are the second person to mention the un-powder, maybe I would have to give a try too. Let me know if you find a product that works for you! :) xx
IzbrišiThis is my next purchase! I love in between days and as you know i dont mind silicones in these eyeshadows.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI love the foundation butis a bit darkright now. Will be awesome fornext summer :-)))
You look gorgeous with this colour!!
Yaay! :) But still, too bad they are in them, I wish they would make them without them!
IzbrišiSad to heat it's too dark because it's a long way to summer :/ Thanks for sharing lovely and thank you!<3 xx
This look so pretty!! xoxo

Thank you gorgeous!<3 No problem, glad to help and enable you :D Interesting, thanks for your recommendation<3 xx
IzbrišiThe color is beautiful! But, I haven't been hearing the most positive reviews for the product.
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt truly is!<3 What have you heard? About the ingredients? I don't know why they put silicones in them..
Izbrišii have greasy lids and i put ilia powder under there shadow sticks and on me then it doesn't crease.
OdgovoriIzbrišiOh thank you for the recommendation :)
