Formula Overview
$8.00/0.04 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce
The formula is described as "ulta-pigmented" and "long-lasting" that can be used as "a shadow, a base, [or] as a liner." There is a built-in sharpener on the opposite end.
The updated twist-up pencil eyeshadow formula is creamier, more pigmented, and performed more consistently across the board than the original Colour Stix, which were all over the place with performance. The only issue I had with the Shadow Stix is they weren't long-wearing on me; they had a tendency to fade between six and seven hours and some were mostly gone by nine hours. They were better wearing with a primer underneath or if they were set with powder (so used as a base).
They were creamy and comfortable to work with on the lid, and they had enough give and blendability to work well with fingertips or a brush to diffuse the edges of on the skin. I felt like it was incredibly easy to just buff and pat the edges for an all-over lid color, which was nice given about half the range were various neutral tones.

So Celestial is really pretty and when I saw Tom Ford Platinum as a dupe I knew that was why I liked it. I still love his Platinum as a one and done e/s look. At least we are out of the F range for these shades!
These eyeshadow sticks seem quite promising so far, in terms of quality. I quite like the Angel Vibes shade.
I thought that, like me, you’d really gravitate to So Celestial! I love that one.
Love all three as bases! That’s because these types of products tend to work well for me as such, and because I will be putting a similar toned and finish powder eyeshadow over all or part of them, I think I will be getting them.
are these limited edition?
I would assume so!
Is the formula at all like the Bobbi Brown or Laura Mercier sticks?
I find they’re similar to Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks!
