I like Stila products but I haven't been able to count any of the ones that I have tried among my top favorites yet. Many of the shimmery shades (especially for eyes) are very pretty but I find that this company rarely puts out products and shades that are very unique and can't be duplicated by any other brand. So I don't know that I am expecting much from this series of products and I still dislike when a company can't find a theme for their new products and shades and just throws them all under the heading of "What's New".
Here is the newest collection from Stila...

It seems like Stila has a high shimmer theme going on through out this group of new products, the Jewel Eye Shadows were originally introduced with a holiday collection and must have been so popular that Stila made them a permanent part of their collection. Kind of a odd time of the year to do though, very few companies are showing tones of shimmer in spring collections. I like the lip gloss shades and some of the eye shadows too, so I will be heading off to Sephora to see these in real life. From the lip gloss, I want the Tiara and Dazzling shades, I really don't need to be adding more pink lip glosses to my collection so I will only buy these shades if the formula is fantastic. From the Jewel Eye Shadow formula, I like the Citrine and Golden Topaz shades. I wonder how different these are from the Vincent Longo Diamond Eye Shadows since I already own shades like these in this formula...
I love the Garden Palette and this one will be used a lot to create fun, bright spring makeup looks. The new Eye Crayon also looks like a product that will be getting a lot of use from too. My first pick would be Kitten since I already use this shade a lot against red lip looks. I am hoping that this shade in the crayon formula will be longer lasting than the eye shadow and will create a look that will stay on all night. Also from this formula, I want the Antique Gold, Pink Violet, and Rose shades. I want to try using these shades to create a long lasting rose gold look for my eyes, I have fallen in love with the rose gold look since I first played around with it when looking at the newest Bobbi Brown collection and now I want to find more products and shades to create different versions of this look.
I like many of the products in this collection but I am hoping that the summer collection will make a bit more sense and will ahve some type of theme to carry it off...
