Stila Spring 2009 Collection - Barbie Loves Stila



I am going to assume that most people reading this remember the Barbie collection that MAC did about two years ago in the spring time. If not, here is a quick recap; very popular, lots of pink, and spawned lots of imitations over the next few months after the release. The latest company to imitate this collection and use Barbie as their muse is Stila. This year is Barbie’s 50th birthday and the company is helping her to celebrate in high style. The collection is called Barbie Loves Stila and I would too if I was her. I loved playing with Barbie when I was young and had amassed quite the collection of them through birthdays, Christmas, and the generosity of my family.


Here is the description from Stila. “A beauty trendsetter and style icon, Barbie has had all eyes on her for 50 years. Now it's your turn to get all dolled up. Each paint can in this cute-as-punch collection features a famed Barbie look from the past five decades and all the beauty essentials needed to make it all yours. And the palette? It literally talks you through every step for scoring classic Barbie-pink eyes. Play time just got prettier.”

I love these little Paint Cans, they are the some of the cutest packaging that I have ever seen. I also love that someone can buy one of these as a gift and the recipient gets everything they need to create the look. I really want the 2000 Jewel Doll because it seems to be the only one that will really work with my complexion. However, pale blue eye shadow is in many of these collections and while I that it is Barbie’s signature, it is not mine!
