Stila Fall 2010 Collection

The newest Stila collection appears to be a mish-mosh of new products that include primers, palettes, eye makeup, lip colors, and a new brush to top it all off. Already I have been combing Sephora and Ulta for the Traveling Girl palettes that have been released this season. I see a bunch of individual products that I like in this collection but I really don't see this as having more cohesion or a theme.

Here are the new items...

Traveling Girl Palette - Trendsetting in Tokyo - Introducing the newest limited edition Stila Girl Travel Palette, Trendsetting in Tokyo. Experience the bustling, fast-paced metropolis as you follow Zoe through her Tokyo adventure. Inspired by the neon lights and classic geisha trends, this palette will have you looking fashion-forward. This palette contains four eye shadows; Sake (beige with shimmer), Kawai (pink), Shibuya (blue), "Peace Sign" (black shimmer). The Convertable Color is Sakura (cherry blossom pink).

Traveling Girl Palette - Pretty in Paris - Introducing the newest limited edition Stila Girl Travel Palette, Pretty in Paris! Parisian women always look so effortlessly chic, stylish, and sophisticated. Inspired by Stila girl Chelsea's sojourn to the City of Light, our limited-edition Pretty in Paris travel palette captures the joie de vivre of the city. You get 4 distinct-yet-complementary eye shadows and a harmonizing, dual lip-and-cheek cream that will have you looking tres manifique! This palette contains four eye shadows; Crepe (pale pink), Cherie (reddish brown), Jolie (brownish pink), Chocolat (brown). The Convertable Color is Rosebud (rose).

One Step Correct - Swirl your way to perfect skin in one step! This innovative, triple-swirled helix serum instantly color corrects, brightens, and covers skin imperfections for a flawless face with no fuss. This primer, color corrector, brightener and anti-aging skincare serum does it all with the help of Stila's Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex. Magician: Instantly makes imperfections disappear. Multitasker: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, pore, and pigmentation. Miracle Worker: Hydrates, controls oil, and improves skin texture. This revolutionary new product contains 3 color-correcting brighteners: Green tone instantly neutralizes redness and conceals blemishes; Lavender tone counteracts sallow undertones for a vibrant, energized look; Peach tone brightens, illuminates, and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots. The weightless, creamy formula blends imperceptibly into skin and won't clog pores or settle into fine lines...so all anyone will notice is your perfectly flawless skin!

Custom Color Blush - Why settle for "almost the right shade" of blush? This perceptive one-shade-fits-all powder blush reacts with your skin's pH to create a one-of-a-kind, customized shade perfect for you! This ultra-blendable, velvety soft formula magincally smoothes the appearance of fine lines, pores, and pigmentation, leaving skin with a luminous, flawless flush. The blush contains a spherical silicone elastomer treated powder that provides a soft focus effect and diffuses light. There is a silky feeling leaving skin soft and smooth. The silicone treated powder fills in fine lines and wrinkles on the skin, making it appear more youthful. The weightless powder can be layered to achieve just the right color and coverage. No more guessing or wearing the wrong shade of blush. Reacts to the wearer's pH to create the perfect shade everytime. Harmonizes with your skin tone to enhance your natural beauty, not overwhelm it. A blush built truly for everyone, a one-of-a-kind customized color is just a brush stroke away.

Glamoureyes Mascara - Who needs false lashes when you've got Glamoureyes Mascara? This next generation of mascara perfectly adheres to each lash and instantly lengthens, volumizes, and curls for your softest, plushest lashes ever. The weightless, creamy formula glides on to create a dramatic, wide-eyed look without clumping. The secret is a lash-amplifying polymer that instantly transforms eyes from ordinary to alluring. A unique, multi-level brush has one layer to fluff and volumize, while the second layer lengthens and curls lashes. The result? Lashes that can stop traffic with the blink of an eye. Dynamic lengthening effects in a weightless, creamy formula that feels completely natural. A single stroke instantly lengthens, volumizes, and curls for long, luscious lashes.

The weightless liquid moves with your lips to prevent color from transferring, feathering, or bleeding and crate captivatingly kissable lips.

#33 One Step Complexion Brush - This dual-ended foundation brush and concealer brush allows you to blend both liquid and powder brush seamlessly for effortless makeup application and a flawless finish. One side beautifully blends liquid, creams, and powder foundation into your skin, while the other delivers precision concealing for a perfect, polished complexion. The synthetic bristles are shaped to imitate application with your fingertips, but are firmer and more flexible for quicker, easier makeup application. The tapered brush can burrow into tiny, hard-to-reach crevices. Synthetic brushes eliminate the transfer of oils and bacteria. Can also be used to apply eye shadow and cheek color.

I may not think much of this group of a products as a collection but I do really like what has come out for fall. My favorite new products are the new primer (love the double helix shape!) and the Paris palette. I am also interested in the Custom Color Blush, I am hoping I will get a great pink shade from this product. Lip product wise, I want the Fiery, Patina, Petal, and Muse shades in the Liquid Lip Color.

This primer speaks to both the makeup addict in me and the biology geek. A rare match...
