Stila: New Launches for Fall 2009

For Fall 2009, Stila will launch an additional Smudge Pots shade, and also introduce an entirely new line addition--Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss


Originally designed to be a dual use product, Stila's Smudge Pots gel formulations were typically used as eye liners and shadows. Now, Stila has taken one of their best-selling pressed powder eyeshadow shades, Kitten (one of my all time favorite must-haves), and transformed its legendary shimmering champagne hue into the proprietary Smudge Pot gel form. Smudge proof, water-resistant and ultra-long wearing, the super-flattering shimmer can be used as an eyeshadow primer, base color, eyeliner or even a cheek and brow bone highlighter. Genius! $20


With full coverage, long wear, intense luster and saturated color, Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss are welcome additions to the Stila brand. The super-shiny formula, available in 6 shades, is also infused with rhodolea rosea, a miracle herb that's known to alleviate depression by optimizing seratonin and dopamine levels in the brain. Plus, a perfect blend of oils and phenolic compounds keep lips conditioned and moisturized. $22 each

All will be available for purchase beginning September 2009 at www.stilacosmetics.com

Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Thermal Brush



This brush is awesome! I wasn't familiar with the Olivia Garden brand, but this blow out brush  intrigued me. It is crafted with real boar hair bristles that are ion charged to restore hair balance and shine, plus the lightweight body and ergonomic design won't weigh your arm down (an especially useful feature if you have long and/or thick hair that takes an eternity to dry).  Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Thermal brushes are available in 5 sizes, and are by far the best salon-quality brushes at an affordable price point ($15.95-$19.95 each!).

Lip of Luxury is a paraben-free collection of lipsticks formulated to totally pamper your pout with ultra-moisturizing shea butter and vibrant color. They also contain pure pink champagne essences that provides a “fizzy and flavorful moisture surge” designed to smooth out fine lines and creases. The new colors, Free Love (pink velvet) and Living in Sin (Shimmering Bordeaux) are welcome additions to the popular collection, which has garnered rave reviews since its initial release. $18 each 
The Smoky Eye Shadow Collection makes creating one of makeup’s hardest application techniques simple as sugar with an all-in-one kit that contains three shadow sets of three colors each for a day, night and “fashion” look. Plus, step-by-step application cards provide detailed instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams while two double-ended applicators make this a truly complete kit. The shadows are rich in pigment and their textures are smooth, allowing for effortless blending that’s essential for a smoky look. $32

Metal-Eyed Liquid Eyeliner is long-lasting, non-smudging and creates to look of melted metal in 8 glam shades like Blackout (smoldering black), Dirt Bag (red brown), Brown Sugar (golden brown), Get Lucky (sparkling emerald), Shotgun (gunmetal, Handcuffs (metallic steel) Plum Crazy (vivid amethyst—and my favorite—Twilight (sparkling sapphire). The texture of this liner is soft and silky, despite it super-sparkly effect and the precision micro-brush allows easy application. The sleek, almost watery formula also dries quickly and doesn’t flake—very necessary qualities when dealing with a tricky product like liquid liner. $17.50 each

If I had to pick just one product from these new line additions, my choice would be the Primed & Poreless Skin Soothing Face Primer. I am a total skin primer enthusiast, which I attribute mainly to the sweltering South Florida climate. When it’s almost always 100% humidity, a primer is more than needed to keep my makeup from melting away. This one also erases pores, softens lines and perfects skin without the harsh, drying side effects of most other primer products. The single shade is a neutral, translucent beige that becomes invisible upon application. Bronzers, blushes and foundations glide on without sticking to the primed areas, and even when used alone without any other makeup, the finish is velvety and smooth. Ingredients like Mulberry Extract (skin brightener), Rentinol (anti-aging), Ivy Extract (a natural astringent) and Vitamin A (antioxidant) are added, multi-beneficial benefits that make this product a total must-have. $30 All Too Faced Products are available for purchase online at toofaced.com & sephora.com.
