The smudge stick collection is housed in packaging that suits the shade of product and comes with a twist-up pencil. The small tip makes them easy to work with for a more precise line and the formula is soft to use and buildable for a more bolder shade. They aren't the most exciting shades for a holiday collection, but they suit well for the season and will work all year round with shimmery neutral shades and some for a more intense dark smokey eyed look. I'm very much into neutral shimmers so the shades are fantastic for me.
Smudge sticks cost £13.00 each for 0.3ml worth of product - this set doesn't seem to be available at the minute online there is another gift set with almost identical shades (some being the same) for £36.00, which in my eyes is well worth the money considering purchasing the shades separately would come to a total of £65.00. Fortunately for me. I caught the Stila after Christmas sale last year and got my set for £6.25 including free delivery. Stila do free delivery on all items purchased (UK only). Quite the bargain I must say.
