Stila, Do Tell, How Do You Do This EVERY Time?

Holy mother of all things holy. This is makeup at a whole new level. You have not lived until your lips have touched this gloss and your eyes have been blessed by these ethereal wands of beauty. I'm not usually an edit (heavily), copy and paste kind of girl but these beauties have left me speechless....

Stila Jewel Luxe Lip Gloss Trio: Feels Like Heaven Made from the Earth.
These three glosses glide on seamlessly and leave a celestial wave of sequin-like reflections on the lips. With a taste more like dessert, it's surprising that the ingredients are actually more closely related to dirt, containing Stila's Exclusive Gem Complex made of diamond, emerald, jade, ruby, moonstone, rose quartz, sapphire, topaz, amethyst, amber, garnet, mother of pearl, and opal. Mango seed butter, goa seed butter, and shea butter smooth out this formula for an irresistible pout. I have NEVER put anything better on my lips. EVER.

Stila Black Diamond Mascara
Paraben free mascara swirled with genuine diamond powder. This precise mascara adheres tightly to your lashes leaving them simply, beautifully enhanced. The genuine black diamond powder brings out the color of your eyes. Shades include: Black Shimmer (black with silver shimmer) and blue Shimmer (black with blue shimmer)

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
The picture does NOT do this thin marker-like justice. I have never seen more narrow or dense applicator which virtually guarantees ease of use for even the least experienced make up beginner, while also delivering a defined thin line or even a dramatic bold line with precision. A-MAY-zing

The products in this post were provided to Beauty's SPOT for free (I know, you hate me) for editorial review.

Stila Pearl Shimmer Gloss - You Must Try It!

My first product with actual crushed pearls was Laura Mercier's SPF 15 Mineral Powder. The effects were so universally flattering, I wondered why pearl powders weren't in, well, everything. Enter the brilliance of Stila's Limited Edition Pearl Shimmer Gloss. It feels like creamy whipped butter, makes your lips look fantastic, and provides a suitable shade companion for Stila's #1 selling eyeshadow shade, Kitten (a Sephora exclusive shade.) The formula is rich in emollient oils, esters and vitamins A, C and E, and is long-wearing without feeling tacky or heavy.

Shades include:
South Sea Coral – Soft peach with white shimmer
Pearlescent Pink – Mid-tone pink with shimmer
Ocean Currant – Deep, sheer berry with pink and red shimmer (if you think you can't pull off berry, this one will change your mind. a-MAzing)
Pearl Kitten – Universally flattering warm pink-champagne with shimmer

Price: $22, available at Sephora and stilacosmetics.com

Stila, Lela Rose, and A Ted Gibson Video

Just a few days ago I was watching this AMAZING video of Lela Rose talking about the hair and makeup at her spring show. (Fellow Ted Gibson fanatics - he's at 1 min 17 seconds in.) Now the makeup angels (and marketing geniuses) at Stila have developed this backstage-to-go kit recreating the looks from the Lela Rose SS09 show. See. Amazing!

Stila Backstage with Lela Rose and Beauty.com collection contains four key products used by every artist backstage at the very same Spring 2009 show. Stila Sun Shade 01 was used to bronze the models’ cheekbones. This bronzer is known for its amazing buildable color, which makes it a makeup artist favorite season after season. Cranberry Lip Glaze popped the models’ pouts. For the eyes, Starlight Eye Shadow let the lids shimmer with a champagne glow, and a coating of Major Lash Mascara in Brown helped to create a balanced, feminine face.

Subtle and very wearable, this modern look is sophisticated in its simplicity, a must in order to complement the vibrant kaleidoscope of colors with a funky tribal twist fashions that paraded down the Lela Rose runway.

Beauty's Product: Go Bronze or Go Home

I have no time to watch the Olympics. I barely have time to swim my own laps and show up to all of my various commitments during the day looking like something other than a pool rat. Yesterday I ran a little short on time after hopping out of the pool and made the mistake of showing up to an event sans bronzer. Not one to make the same mistake twice, here is a collection of lovely bronzers that will help us get through the rest of summer looking toned, tan, and tranquil.

Bronzer: theBalm Bahama Mama ($18) at www.sephora.com

Benefit: Matte bronzer creates beautifully bronzed skin with a paraben-free formula. We all know that being a bronzed bombshell no longer requires long hours in the sun; but the perfect faux glow is an art many are hard pressed to master. This compact features mica and silica for sheer yet pigmented color. The paraben-free formula is designed to be layered as needed for the perfect amount of color to customize the ideal and most realistic shade of bronze. The small compact goes easily from makeup bag to beach bag.

Bronzer: Stila Sun SPF 15 ($28) at stilacosmetics.com


Benefit: Radiant bronze glow, with the added daily sun protection of SPF 15.
Capture the radiant glow of the sun without ever catching a ray. Stila’s best-selling bronzer is now reformulated with SPF 15 for daily sun protection. Dust this light shimmering formula on the nose, cheeks, forehead, even the décolleté whenever you want to feel like you’ve been blessed by the sun. Sunbathing not required.

Bronzer: DuWop BronzeRush ($35) at select Sephora stores

Benefit: Velvety smooth powder bronzer with a gel-based translucent blush for a pop of fresh cheek color. BronzeRush is a palette that has everything you need to add color and life to your complexion. DuWop’s powder bronzer is a finely milled formula that leaves the softest feel on the skin. It’s orange-free, so you get an even, natural-looking tan, and the formula is easy to blend and never appears streaky or blotchy.

Bronzer: Physicians Formula Mineral Wear® Talc-Free Illuminating Veil in Warming Glow ($11.95) at drugstores and mass market nationwide

Benefit: Bronzer for break-out prone skin.
This first-to-market Mineral Wear™ Talc-Free Illuminating Veil™ bathes skin in minerals, providing the look of a soft, natural bronzed glow for the ultimate “finishing touch” to your makeup. This extremely lightweight powder glides on for a healthy, luminous finish and features a minimalist talc-free formula ideal for the most sensitive or breakout prone skin. The gentle formula allows skin to breathe and can help to minimize the risk of irritation and breakout. Additionally, the flow-through brush applicator with a mirror on the cap is great for on-the-go touch-ups.
