Stila Spring 2011 Collection - Light Up The World

Last holiday season, I covered Stila's limited edition collection and was very unhappy that the whole collection was a group of palettes and sets and some mismatched single products that lacked a theme. My hope for the spring collection was that it would be an actual collection and not a repeat of the holiday theme. I am very happy to see that this time around, Stila has relreased an actual collection of individual products that revolve around a theme. Light Up The World sounds as though it will be a collection of products that will help skin glow and will contain lots of shimmery, glowing makeup shades. This collection contains one product that was themed around Valentine's Day but I think that it will also be very pretty with spring makeup.

Here is the new collection from Stila...

Make Me Blush Palette - A lovely multi-color blush inspired by Valentine's Day Conversation Hearts. The Make Me Blush Palette is embossed with a cute Conversation Heart design. The top layer is sprayed with the gold shine for visual and once dusted off with brush you are left with all over glow pressed powder that will add warmth, soft color, and sheer luminosity to cheeks and complexion. Great for all skintones, the micro-fine powder if velvety and blendable and instantly enhances the complexion with a tint of pinks and corals. You look and feel radiant from within, just like when that someone special makes you blush.

Kitten Glitter Eye Liner gives lids a touch of sparkle with a unique combination of glitter in champagne, rose gold, bronze, gold, and pink.

I am so excited! This is the collection from Stila that I have been waiting for the for the past few seasons! My favorite piece from this collection is the Garden Bliss Set, I love all the pinks in it and the neutral eye look that I will be able to create. And I don't own a gold clutch yet so I would actually use the set that it comes in this time around. All of the styles of tinted moisturizer have me interested and I want to try all of them out next time I hit the counter in Sephora. The blush palette is adorable and I love all the shades of pink in it, this is out of stock but I am hoping that Sephora will have it in stores. I need to see how shimmery the Kitten Powder is before I decide to buy it or not, I like it but if it is too shimmery then I will be passing on it.

The Kitten Glitter will be a great choice for my blue eyes, the Kitten Eye Shadow works wonders for my eyes and this will do exactly the same. This liner will take that great shade and bring it into the night scene. Continuing on the eye makeup wish list, I want the trio in Gilded and I will be trying out the primer in Taffy (the pinker shade). I can skip on the Liquid Liner until a black shade comes out in that product. Lip-wise, I think the Coconut stain will be too bronze for me which is sad because I love coconut and want this one to work. I love the Kitten Silk Shimmer Gloss, but I can pass on the other shade.

This collection from Stila will be able to transition seamlessly from spring into summer and I like that both warm and cool shades are included instead of duplicates of the same shades from multiple companies. I hope that Stila continues on this trend of individual products around a theme...
