Stila beauty haul

written on February 20, 2009 in Fashion & Beauty

I first fell in love with Stila Cosmetics when I saw the gorgeous packaging in a catalog at the age of 9. However, it wasn’t until 11 years later when I purchased my first products from them, and ever since then, I’ve tried the following products, and the ones in bold are my HG makeup items:

• smudge pots in black
• lip glaze in guava
• brush #4 (eyeliner)
• jade blossom hair refreshner
  
• all over shimmer powder in cream (flakes too easily)

I took advantage of BeautyCrunch‘s super Stila sale + free shipping, and I just got my package today. I purchased:

• it gloss in inviting
• it gloss in sweet
• all over glow in peachy keen
• eyes and shine smudge pot trio
• get fabulous for fall set in chocolate (3 shadows, 1 blush, a necklace, lip glaze in grapefruit, and major lash mascara)
• golden glow set (sheer tinted moisturizer spf 15 in bronze, sun spf 15 bronzing powder, eye shadow trio in golden glow, convertible eye color dual shadow and liner in port, lip glaze in spiced rum, and fiber optics mascara)

All the above for just $51.75.  Apparently that’s over than $120-something in discounts! Unfortunately, the stupid UPS guys had to be all rough, and the luminizing powder for my all over glow in peachy keen cracked, and being too lazy to return it, I fixed it myself. To repair your cracked eyeshadow, blush, or pressed powder, all you need to do is add a couple drops of alcohol until the powder turns to paste. Then simply spread the paste back into the compact and let the alcohol evaporate. The result might look a little ugly, but it sure beats having to throw your favorite makeup away.

I’m not sure what I’ll do with all the makeup, but I’m definitely keeping the first 4 for myself. As for the 2 sets, I might give them away or um, be stingy and hoard it even though I already have way too much makeup.Error processing request
