Stila Fall 2009 Collection - Barbie Loves Stila

Stila's latest collection is yet another Barbie based collection. Apparently the spring Barbie collection was so strong for this company that they decided to capitalize on the success of that theme and do it again. And after the year that Stila has had, i can't say that I blame then for returning to tried and true ways. I myself prefer tried and true to wild and crazy and 'let's do something outlandish and hope that we make a quick buck". Ok, time for me to get off my soapbox and talk about the makeup. As Stila says, 'Get All Doll'd Up!"

Stila describes the collection as follows, "From lips to lashes, Barbie Loves Stila Fall Collection has everything you need to get all dolled up. The collection puts a new Barbie twist on iconic Stila favorites like Eye Shadows, Lip Glazes, Smudge Pots, and debuts the brand new Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner!" Just as an aside, the Stila website has been having technical issues for the past few days so some of my information was pulled from the Sephora website and some from the Stila website. Anything that seems out of order is due to using two separate websites.

Here is the collection...

Barbie Love Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss Trio - This trio of highly pigmented glosses deliver triple the mega-watt shine to make your lips three times as tempting. Infused with Rhodiola rosea, a natural extract know to induce happiness by optimizing serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, this long-wearing luxe gloss is sure to put a smile on your face. Perfect blend of oils and phenolic compounds keep lips conditioned all day and replenishes lips' moisture levels. The luxurious formula wears for hours, and leaves lips coated in high-definition, saturated color in a stunning lacquered finish.
- Joy - red
- Happiness - pale pink
- Tickled Pink - Barbie Loves Stila exclusive hot pink

Barbie Loves Stila All Doll'd Up Palette - A must-have palette for any Stila (or Barbie) girl, each refillable compact features FOUR eye shadow trios. Twelve eye shadow shades give you endless eye looks and countless levels of glamour.

Barbie Loves Stila Liquid Liner - Finally a waterproof liquid liner that glides on with ease; won't smudge or run and stays in place until you say when! The thin marker-like tip is easy to use even for the least experienced, and delivers a defined thin line to a dramatic bold line with precision. Goes on smoothly, without skipping, smudging, or pulling, and lasts all day! Water-proof. Smudge-proof and smear-proof. Long-wearing, intense look all day with no fading or feathering. Precision marker-like tip. Easy-to-use. Intense carbon black color. Quick-drying.

Barbie Loves Stila Smudge Pot - An iconic gel-based liner and shadow in one - now with beautiful Barbie shimmer. Get the perfect dose of eye drama with Barbie Loves Stila shimmer infused Smudge Pots! The multi-tasking gel formula can be used as a liner and a shadow that stays on all day. Available in three bold of-the-moment shades: Cobalt Clutch, Purple Pumps, and Little Black Dress give you the touch of drama that we all secretly crave. The purple and blue shades will enhance eye color and in turn, make eyes look whiter and brighter. Multi-tasking formulas can be used as a liner and eye shadow and is long-wearing and smudge-proof with no flaking.
- Cobalt Clutch - vibrant blue with intense shimmer
- Little Black Dress - black with pink sparkle
- Purple Pumps - purple with pink shimmer

Well this is all I can find of the current Barbie collection on the Sephora website. I don't know if Stila offers more in this collection on their company site but since I can't get it to work, I will just write up what Sephora has to offer and hope that I am not too far off base.

Nothing in this collection pops out at me at all. The lip glazes are ok but I don't really want to haul anything which is quite a new thing for me this fall. I am just not that big a fan of really bright eye shadows and that makes most of this collection really not my style.
