Stila Live From the Red Carpet Collection

Spring is the season for awards shows! I have been spending the season following Anne Hathaway and Lady Gaga to see their looks and how I can make them for work the next time that I need to get dressed up. Stila has teamed up with E! network to bring out a whole makeup collection based on the awards shows and the coverage from the red carpet. I have visions of Joan Rivers and Fashion Police in my head right now so I want to see if this makeup collection would pass their inspection!

The universal shades in this palette can be worn wet or dry.

I like many of these sets but there is only one that I really love, the Breathtaking Beauty Palette contains the neutrals, plums and pinks that I love to wear and work with my skintone. None of these shades are all that unique so I might own all of them already and I will need to check this out before I buy anything from this collection. The other palettes are nice but there is at leat one major shade in each one that I wouldn't wear at all. The makeup and music player is the most unique concept that I have seen in years but it doesn't surprise me that the company that started the talking palettes would be the first to move into the direction. Time for me to ready for own red carpet appearance...
