Stila Spring 2010 pics

Check out the pics of Stila’s spring collection. I’ve been wearing most of it every day, and I friggen LOVE it. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on the lipglazes, and I really like them because they’re not (IMO) as sticky as other brands are/can be when they add glitter.
Enjoy, and if you have any questions, or if you’ve got any of these pieces and want to share your impressions, please do!








Things to look for from Stila!!
Treat yourself with Stila’s latest addition to their immensely popular “Crush” series…Yumberry Crush ($24)! Loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, this good for your lips stain is a gorgeous shade of midtone pink…and since it’s a stain it’s not heavy or sticky!
While you’re at it, check out the uber craveworthy Jewel Eyes Palette ($32). Stila’s shadows are known for being super soft and blendable, these just have an extra shimmer to them that makes them sparkle and shine!
Beauty 4.0 with Stila Cosmetics

November is going to be a big month for my lovely fellow Stila girls…because Stila will be unveiling their Beauty 4.0 platform. “Beauty 4.0 was created to empower women to have fun and experiment with cosmetics.

One of the more exciting things about the new platform is Stila’s new makeup player. Part traincase, part speaker system, the Makeup Player is loaded with the essentials:
• NEW One Step Foundation (choice of four shades- Fair, Light, Medium and Dark)

Stila’s new One Step Makeup is designed to deliver one revolutionary, high performance, high definition, long wearing, complexion perfecting product. I haven’t tried it yet, but when I do, I’m definitely sharing my thoughts.

Ohhhh! New Smudgepot shades! And new lippie shades! AND NEW LUXE GLOSS SHADES! I’m excited!
For you ladies who’ve not used the Kitten Smudgepot, just FYI, it’s the perfect eyebrightener. I’ve been working 70+ hour weeks for three weeks now, and on the days when I can’t do much more than slap something on and go, the Kitten Smudgepot is perfect. It wakes my eyes up without requiring too much effort, and keeps me from looking as sleep deprived as I really am.
New Barbie Loves Stila Smudge Pots
I can’t believe I’ve never owned a Stila smudge pot. I’ve always felt hesitant to purchase one because the formula seemed very dry. I’m not sure if the testers were just dried out or if it’s just a property of the formula itself. However, the new smudge pots are almost just as smooth as MAC’s fluidlines, but they go on a little sheer and have fine glitter like reflects. Purple Pumps is the only shade I decided to pick up. It’s a beautiful violet with hints of fine pink glitter. The color is nice and vibrant when you look at it in the pot and I believe it’s buildable. It drys to a smudge proof finish that’s a tad dry. So, I’d recommend keeping it to a thin layer when applied all over the lids. All-in-all, this was the best formula and shade for me to test out! I think the cobalt one may be next…

Smitten with Kitten – Stila Fall 09
I admit I have backups of Stila’s best-selling shadow, Kitten. I would probably actually cry if they ever stopped making it. The pink champagne color works with EVERYTHING and is one of my favorite highlighters (fluffy brush + bridge of nose and cheekbones and collarbones = PERFECT glow for a night out).
I’m super excited to get the word on the Fall 2009 collection Smitten with Kitten…two smudgepots and a lipglaze, inspired by the ever popular Kitten shadow. The Kitten smudgepot is a shimmering pink…perfect as a glimmering shadow base or on its own, as a water resistant and smudgeproof shadow that’ll last all day. Black Cat smudgepot is a black gel liner loaded with super fine shimmer, perfect for smudging on your lashline for smoky eyes that won’t quit.
Smitten with Kitten will be available exclusively at Stilacosmetics.com


Stila – all over shimmer liquid luminizer
Just an FYI for you ladies looking for something to give a PERFECT glow to your cheeks (and collarbones and nose and decollete)…Stila’s all over shimmer liquid luminizer is PERFECT.
What I’ve started doing is putting a dot on my cheeks (I use the Kitten shade, I believe it was LE) then blending it with a stippling brush. After that, I go over the outside of my cheekbones with the skinfinish, blush, mineralized blush, or beauty powder of my choice. Perfect glow. Perfect blending, Perfect softness. Not glittery or chunky at all.
Oh, btw, Check out the summer sale going on right now. It ends soon but you’ll be able to pick up a HECK of a deal on some yummy stuff!
