Stila Girl Beach Palette Living the Life in Laguna review, photos and swatches – Limited Edition 2011

The last of the series is Living the Life in Laguna inspired by Ali’s trip to this California beach town. This cute, collectable palette includes:

Four Eye Shadows:
- Sanddollar
- Sunset
- Cove
- Bonfire

Cheek Color:
- Seashell

Highlighter/Bronzer:
- PCH

This is my fav of all the five palettes released. It’s a nice everyday palette with soft shades that are look great for everyday wear. I especially like the blush in Seashell and although the consistency of the powders isn’t the best I have ever come across, This is a 10$ palette which is quite cheap for the good quality and color variety it offers.

Stila holiday lip glaze set 2011 review, photos and swatches

I always wanted to try the stila lip glazes and finally when I saw these released as a part of the “Stila Holiday 2011 Makeup Collection” I just had to buy them.

These glosses are mini versions 0.05 fl.oz/1.5ml and contain four best selling shades and four limited edition shades. I feel that this set has plenty of color variety with shimmers and plain colours and you save a lot with this set (price $25.00 a $110 value!). These glosses come with a click style brush applicator for easy mess free application. When twisting the lip gloss literally wait between each click-click because the gloss oozes out of the brush within a fraction of a second. I love these lip glazes, they give a nice glossy sheen, and feel so moisturizing (what a relief).

Stila lip glazes are awesome, they are not sticky and each one smells delicious, yumm! The colours are sheer and some shades can be built up for some color pay off.

Every year stila releases such lip glaze sets (with different shades every year), and I feel such sets are the perfect way of trying new shades, stocking up and saving a lot. Get this before its gone!

Shades include:
– Apricot
– Kitten
– Starfruit
– Grapefruit
– Believe – rosey wine with gold shimmer
– Dreamy – creamy, beige amaretto with subtle shimmer
– Fantasy – warm pink with gold shimmer
– Kaleidoscope – sheer apricot with multi-pearl shimmer

The glosses below are in the order apricot, kaleidoscope, grapefruit, fantasy.
