Advantages: Compact, Easy to use, Cute colours

Disadvantages: Creases, Smudge

All my friends know I'm a total Stila girl so when one of them bought me an eye gloss for my birthday I was really happy. The packaging is 100% cute and the blue/purple colour looks great against the silver tin decorated wih stars.
I'm so bad when it comes to applying eye shadow but an eye gloss is much easier to use since you just smudge it across the eye lid and it looks great.
Unfortunately, this product isn't as good as the rest of the Stila range.
The formulation is light but too greasy and doesn't stay put on the lids for very long. It creases and the colour fades quicky. However, I don't like my make-up to look to polished and tend to go for that "rock chick" look. This isn't for someone who can't stand slightly smudgey make-up but I think it can look kinda sexy!
The colour I have (pictured) looks good on olive skin but they also have colours in pink, green, silver and gold. Even though the colour is vibrant in the tin, you have to build it up to get a vivid colour and since it creases easily, you'll have to keep reapplying. Nevertheless, a glossy sheen is left on the lids at all times.
I prefer to use this product in the summer when I just want a hint of colour and because it's such so small, has a mirror and you don't need a brush, it's convienent to carry. It looks cool mixed with liner but again, the liner will eventually smudge slightly.
This isn't one of Stilas best products but it's a fun peice of make-up to use if you're in a rush. If you want a similar effect that will last longer, try there 'All Over Shimmers' that come in a range of colours.
