The haul post I did on the Skinfood fruit bowl colours was very popular so I, heartbreakingly, stuck my finger in the colours so that you can see swatches. Sob Sob.

The texture is medium, neither too hard or too soft. It is very pigmented, especially the darker colours and aren’t too oily either so they work nicely on the cheeks too.

Here is the seller too, for people who asked. I paid £9 with shipping included, she seems to have raised the price a little by about £1.80 but she is the only seller I can find who sells it at the moment.

They look so pretty! Which one is your most favorite of the bunch?

Hi Nina

Well…hmmm, I think Pomegrante is lovely, as its pigmented and a flattering colour, followed by Grapefruit (they smell good too!)

Hello!

This is a bit unrelated but I was wondering if you knew if we’ve got any Stila stalls/shops in the UK. I can’t seem to find them anywhere!

Hi Rachel,

Stila has pulled its range out of the UK (although there are rumours it may be coming back) which is why you can’t find the counters anymore. I know that they sell Stila in outlet villages, such as Cheshire Oaks or Bluewater in Kent, but your only other option is online, where some stores still sell it like HQ Hair: http://www.hqhair.com/code/preview.asp?PageID=906 and Look Fantastic: or Strawberrynet.com (where its slightly discounted too).

Hope that helps!

I like apricot the most but for my dark pigmented lips, the other three would suit me better. Thanks for the swatches Row!!! Swatching new products are always a bit of a sniff moment for me too hahaha

They’re all gorgeous, it’s too difficult to decide which one is the nicest! I’m drawn to Apricot, though :)

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this, but I am hesitant because I can’t find the ingredients list anywhere and I’m afraid it contains mineral oils/paraffin/petroleum, as we know they clog pores. How was your experience? Does it clog pores or cause zits or white/blackheads?

Hi Frckls

I will try and see if I can find a translation for you. I haven’t noticed any pore clogging but I wouldn’t guarantee it because it does have a ‘oily’ base

Wow. Thank you! I actually don’t mind ‘oily’ as lomg as it’s not mineral oil/paraffin/petroleum. I’ve been trying to avoid those ingredients in my skincare regiments and gradually eliminating in my makeups.
