Stila 24kt Luxe Lip Gloss Collection
*Vintage Merlot – a deep berry
*Radiant Sunset – a mid-tone red
*Precious Coral – a light peachy coral
*Golden Charm – a warm sheer gold
I love glittery gloss…I do…I just hate sticky glittery gloss. Stickiness is what keeps me from succumbing to temptation for other lines. Stila’s 24kt Luxe Glosses inspire no such strength in me…as they’re not sticky. And they’re shimmery. And they feel really nice. And they wear well. And they’re SO DAMN PRETTY!
Anyway…
at $30 this is a STEAL. They’re full size and they’re amazing. My only quibble (and it’s a small one, really) is that I wish the 24kt glosses used the click pen like Stila’s other glosses do. It makes controlling how much product is released SO much easier.
Get it from Stila -
*plum fairy – a sheer plum with pink pearl
*candy – sheer pink-coral with subtle rainbow shimmer
*marmalade – sheer peach with pink and white pearl
*pinkle twinkle – sheer mid-tone pink with rainbow shimmer
*kitten – nude pink champagne shimmer with golden pearl
*starfruit – neutral pink-coral with white pearl
*cranberry – sheer brick red
*blackberry – deep purple wine
I have to tell you guys how much I love this set, it’s got a range from sheer to decidedly pigmented, and the shimmered glosses satisfy anyone who loves a bit of glimmer. They smell fantastic (some of them are fruity, some of them smell like vanilla cupcakes…it’s yummy).
The set is a great value, get it at Stilacosmetics.com for $25!!!

MAC | Holiday 09: Magic, Mirth & Mischief Collection Details
Try to ignore the fact that is ridiculously hot and humid in most of the country at the moment and close your eyes. That’s right, go ahead. Close your eyes and visualize winter. There’s snow, a chill in the air and Oh…..My….God….MAC Holiday 09. Woot!
The MAC Holiday 09 collection will be called Magic, Mirth & Mischief and as in year’s past, it will be in several waves of releases and feature a main colour story with subsequent palettes, sets and kits within the same theme. Here’s the magic, kids:
Magic, Mirth & Mischief Colour Story - Oct (US)/02 Nov (AU)
Magic, Mirth & Mischief Holiday Sets part I – 02 Nov (AU)
- The promo pic for this has square boxes/palettes with round colored spots that looked like they could be see-through parts to the shadows underneath and were kind of raised like bubbles. The background colour on the box/palette was gold.
*****
Love’s Divine Lash Kit – 02 Nov (AU)
- Note: This is a Myers exclusive in AU, so I guess this might be a Nordies Exclusive in the US. This is in a metallic, bronzy-pewter bag that is similar in shape to last holiday’s Red She Said brush bags.
*****
Magic, Mirth & Mischief Holiday Sets Part II – 16 Nov (AU)
What do you guys think?
