Stila Smudge pot VS. Maybelline Color Tattoo


I hope everyone is doing great :)

I've noticed that Paint pots are becoming more and more popular these days and it's not just MAC cosmetics selling them.
The two pots that I'll be reviewing are:

&

      Stila(left)           Maybelline(right)

Stila(left)                                Maybelline(right)

both Pots contain .14OZ (4g)

Stila Smudge Pot color is "Kitten"
Maybelline Color Tattoo is "05 too cool"

1. Stila Smudge Pot 
- Is actually a Waterproof gel liner, but can be used as a eyeshadow/base.
- Comes in a cute little box
- The Color "Kitten" is popular as an eyeshadow from Stila's eyeshadow collection, 
then became a color for there smudge pots.
- the color is a perfect everyday color and goes with anything.
- Shimmering beige-pink color
-goes with all skin tones
- very pigmented 
- Lasts all day! (Once it's on its on) :D
- Texture isn't the greatest
- Dries quickly
- Must be applied fast or won't stay on the eyelid, but your finger/brush.
- Great for oily skin
- High end product!
 - Retail Price $26 CAN ($20 US)



2. Maybelline Color Tattoo 
- color "too cool"
- Product covered with plastic
- Great for a base before applying colorful eyeshadows so they pop, 
or can be used alone
- Creamy Texture
Very pigmented
- Bit Shimmery 
- Stays on all day
- Doesn't dry as fast as the Stila Pot.
- Drugstore product!
- Retail Price $10 CAN ($6 US)


Swatches :D

Maybelline Too cool(bottom)  & Stila Kitten(top)

Which one is worth your money? 
Seriously Ladies go for the Maybelline Color Tattoos!!
Great product, rich and creamy.
Stays on all day without smudging.
you really don't need a primer before applying but that's up to you.
The price is perfect for someone on a budget.
there's a nice range of colors.
I give Color tattoos a 9/10
*Quick Tip* Always keep your gel liners/pots up side-down.
Keeps the product from not drying faster.

Stilla Smudge Pots a 3/10
Just not impressed with texture, how fast it dries.
I know it's a gel liner...but it toke me awhile to even make a line with the product.
Quick Update!!!(feb 2014): my stilla pot completely dried out and I've only had it for a little over 6 months :( very upsetting !!! Although it can be fixed but you really shouldn't after a few months. just disappointing! I always kept it in good room temperature, closed the lid really tight and still dried out. I think I will never buy any stilla pots again unless they fix there formula.    
I don't hate the brand just this one product, every brand has it hits and misses.
