Stila Summer 2011 Collection - Sparkle and Glow

Over the past few years, the temperature has reach 70 degrees twice, I think the winter thaw has officially occured and that means that I am excited to get outside and begin having some fun.  I am now breaking out my Lancaster bronzing powder and have gotten a new Clinique one to try out too.  Stila's newest collection is named Sparkle & Glow and it reminds me of the long summer nights at the shore.  And now it time to look at some new makeup to complement so soon-to-be self tanned skin and beachy glow.

Stila states, "Enjoy the simple things with Stila's feel good summer collection, a healthy sun kissed glow with vibrant pops of color will make a big poolside splash this season", when they describe the collection on their company website.  I am personally the most excited for new shades of their famed Lip Glaze and their new liquid eye liners.

Here is the new Stila collection...

Well, it looks like I haven't seen the end of the Stila Summer Palettes yet so I will keep you guys up to date as more palettes are released this summer.  I love the Stunning in Sayulita Palette and now can't wait for summer to get here so I can go to the beach.  I really like the new Liquid Eye Liner especially in the Sequins and Flash shades, I love liquid eye liner in the humid weather and I can dress both of these shades up for long summer nights.  The Lip Glazes from this companty are actually a product that I own/use very little of so I think I need to check these shades out at Sephora; I really like all the pinks and the nudes in this collection - Angel Food, Cotton Candy, Honeysuckle, and Bubble Gum.  I'm not all that interested in the liquid bronzer since I usually prefer the powder formulas but the new foundation might end up on my shopping list that next time that I need a new one.

Forever Your Curl Mascara is a very interesting concept (and that name now has a Paula Abdul song stuck in my head) and I will be interested to read more about it and see what some of the reactions are as people tyr it.  I do wonder what happens when you finish up the tube of the product?  I would assume that the curl effect begins to fade when another product is used instead, how fast is more my question.  This bears more research.
