Stila cosmetics offers private virtual warehouse sale
Stila cosmetics is holding a virtual warehouse sale for those who sign up to receive notification of it's start and a "secret link" to the invitation only sale. Stila is enticing shoppers with up to a 70% discount on selected items. The start date is unknown at this point, but by signing up with your email address your promised to get "first dibs" at sale items. Making the lure even sweeter is coupon code FREEISGOOD which means you can score free shipping on your sale haul of $50+.
While I was visiting Stila's website (signing myself up for the sale notification, w00t!) I stumbled on this great video of Sarah Lucero, the companies Director of Education, trying out Holiday palette in Guinevere on model Menal. What I love about this video are the great tips from Sarah interspersed throughout the video and it's finish after the credits which shows a moment of Sarah and her model just plain having fun and bonding... ahh the magic of makeup.  I picked up a few new ideas for myself and I think you will too, .
I admit, I'm digging Stila's new web based approach to reaching customers. This is really the first time I've seen a cosmetic company embracing web 2.0 and utilizing that direct contact to market product. Stila is set on reinventing themselves by reaching out to all the customers left in a lurch after Estee Lauder discontinued the brand and subsequently sold it to Stila Corp, an affiliate of Florida-based equity firm Sun Capital Partners. Rebuilding a once well established brand after virtually no presence on counters or online for around a year, without compromising image or the products prestige reputation, is resulting in this amazing grass roots internet campaign to recapture their customer. I recognize and applaud the hard work being put into this effort, Stila is a diverse brand worth noticing.
While I'm dishing on Stila I'd like to let you know how much I enjoy the illuminating powder foundation, eyeshadow and brushes. One of my all time favorite highlighters is Kitten eyeshadow, which is also great as a wash for a simple eye with black liner and red lips. My go to brush for creme liners (i.e. Fluidlines) is the #13 one step eyeliner brush and for precision work (what Sarah refers to as "wrapping" the eye) I like using the #4 precision eyeliner brush.

Re: Stila cosmetics offers private virtual warehouse sale
Never mind - I just found out how. I have to say I am rather pissed. So now I am screwed out of a chance to get some things I would have loved to have. Oh well, I am sure I can pay triple the price on eBay here in about a week....

Re: Stila cosmetics offers private virtual warehouse sale
I signed up and never received the notification email either...but it gets worse... I saw the link here and managed to get on in time to get a few really good things for myself and Christmas presents. Then I get an email from CS asking all these questions about the forwarding service I was using (I'm o/s so was sending it to a forwarding service, as were alot of other people obviously, so they thought it could be an onseller or somethig). Anyway, we cleared that up and the CS rep said she'd now process all the orders to the address. so I thought it was all fine. Then yesterday I checked on my order online - and ts been cancelled!!! WTF??? NOT HAPPY STILA!
