The Beauty Thesis : Stila loves Barbie

And I love Stila and Barbie right now! I called and drove all over town to get these babies and I am tired, hungry, hot a little irritated and yet I got my goods!
The pictures are not doing these justice; however, it's almost 10 pm and there is no light to be found other than the fluorescent in my cave.
I will do swatches tomorrow morning when I rise or pack them and take a few shots at lunch. The reason I don't bother is there is no request and I don't feel the need to swatch for phantoms. I guess it's reminiscent of the time I held a giveaway and no one responded so I sold the makeup. I don't want to set myself up to fail again, so I keep this small and if I find I have these in duplicates, I will give them as gifts. I did touch the items and play with them at ULTA and the smudgepots can be applied sheer or buildable. So, if you want the color you see, use an angle brush and dip and drag if you wish.
As for the eyeshadows, they are so incredible pigmented. They are more pigmented than any shadow I have owned with an honorable mention given to TIGI palettes I spoke of some time ago.

Hey Kittens,

I got another lovely e-mail from Stila, and this time they are launching the smudgepots. If you remember a few weeks back, they launched the Barbie loves Stila Lipglazes.

They have the cutest names: Cobalt Cluch, Purple Pumps, and my favorite piece, the Little Black Dress.

Sure the names are a bit campy, but so is my makeup obsession. After all, it's all about simple pleasures, n'est-ce pas?

The smudgepots retail for $20.00 USD and are waterproof, smudge proof and crease proof. This means you can use them for a base or alone as an eyeshadow. I might add these colors are shimmery so if you are thinking of using them on the waterline, or as a liner, it might be better to pass for said purpose, unless that's the look you are going for.

I have a small percentage of Stila in my stash; however, it is growing largely due in part to the discount offered at stores like Marshall's and Nordstrom Rack. I'm loving the pigmentation of the eyeshadows, and I really can't wait until they launch the lip glaze in Giggle this fall. It's an in your face bubblegum pink, but looks quite pretty on.

If any of you reading this enjoy Stila, why not apply to be a Stila girl of the week? You only live once, why not? Click here for more details. Give it a go, let me know if you are selected. Good luck!
