Olive love

One of my favourite make-up finds from last month was the Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof eyeliner from Glossybox. I love wearing olive/khaki shades and wanted to see how it compares to two other similar items that I already had; Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliner in Stash and Smashbox's Creamy Eyeshadow Plus in 18.



The Stila liner is beautifully pigmented with a deep olive green and chunky gold. It's completely smudge proof and stays put for hours, yet is easy to remove with a good make-up remover. Urban Decay's Stash is a very similar shade but more subdued, with a finer gold undertone to it. It has medium staying power and is a little smudgy. Although a much different shade but still in the olive family, the Smashbox creamy eyeshadow stick is much lighter. It's the worst for its staying power, and smudges almost straight away if not worn with primer underneath. Out of the three, the Stila liner definitely wins hands down as a new firm favourite in my make-up bag, a perfect change to wearing black liner every now and again.
