(Painterly is on top, Taffy is below. Both are barely visible on my hand, because they match me so well! Stare for a moment and you will see them! Click on the picture itself to make it larger.) Don't just pass this one by. It's worth checking out. This retails for $20.
I loved the Carbon Black Stay All Day Liquid Liner last year. It's my go to liquid black- it's shiny, long lasting and the brush/pen makes it really easy to apply. This spring, two new colors will be available, Chocolate Brown and Indigo. I checked out the Indigo in store and it's a different blue than I was expecting! It's a really pretty reflex blue (which is designer-speak for a pure blue). Think like a blue ink pen. It's really pretty, but not for the meek. These are $20 each.
There are a few makeup products that were like my gateway makeup into non-drugstore products. I remember agonizing over a decision in my very early twenties to choose between buying an eye shadow from Stila or seeing if I could find something similar at F&M. Kitten was the first higher end shadow I ever purchased and I treasured it. I've owned Kitten in all of it's reincarnations over the years and was super excited to hear that Stila was launching an All Over Shimmer Duo in Kitten.
This duo is gorgeous. It's just as silky, but not quite as shiny or as golden as the original. Put this anywhere you want some serious radiance.
I love it for creating a luminized face and the darker tone is perfect for fair-toned gals like me to use as a contour shade. This is a must-have at $22.

This combo is beautiful for light eyes! These will retail for $22 each.
I am in love and equally heartbroken over the next addition from Stila. The new Glitter Liner in Kitten is beautiful and for my blue eyes, is literally like adding little lights around your eyes. This rosey-champagney-goldish color is gorgeous.
If your eyes can tolerate glitter liners, this is a must have.

The newest addition to the Lip and Cheek Stain comes in the form Coconut Crush, a really pretty rosy-bronzey-gold coconut. Coconut extract has interesting anti-aging properties and I know this new color is a favorite of some of my friends at Sephora. It's available for $24.
Have you tried any of the Silk Shimmer Glosses? Stila is adding a new bronzed gloss, Sunlight, to the line. It's super shiny and equally hydrating. It sells for $22.
Also new is the Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer with an SPF of 20. This tinted moisturizer is packed with goodies. Enriched with vitamins A & E, it conditions skin with antioxidant protection. Ginger root extract, gingko biloba leaf extract and chamomile combine to eliminate redness, soothe skin and improve elasticity. Micro-fine light diffusing pigments fade fine lines and instantly impart a healthy radiance to skin, creating a gorgeous glow every time. This retails for $34.
Finally, Stila launched this adorable blush palette just in time for Valentine's Day. It's so cute and nicely priced at $14. Buy it online from Sephora for $20 and score two lippies!
What has caught your attention? I love the Shimmer Duo, especially for the cheeks and the primer. What are you picking up or passing on?
