Stila Valentines Day Blush - 2015 Version

Every year Stila comes out with a limited edition blush or bronzer for Valentines Day. At least the last 3 or 4 years. I have to say, I have a few and I dont use them much, so my statement is that I will not be getting this one. That being said, I say that most years and it doesn't always address reality. So I hope this year I will stay strong!

New Mile High Lashes Mascara From Stilla

So it seems that everyone is coming out with a new mascara these days. This one doesn't seem to excite me quite so much as others, but who knows? You never know where you will find your next lash obsessoon!

Eyes Are the Window Eyeshadow Palettes From Stila

Stila has four new palettes that are already at Ulta. And they are gorgeous! What do these four palettes have in common? Lets play a guessing game. 

1. They are all a whopping $49 USD each
2. They are all freaking GORGEOUS
3. This blogger needs all four
4. All of the above

If you guessed 4 then you are correct! I need all these! Spirit is full of iconic Stila shades popular over the last 20 years, Body is shimmery jewel toned shades, Mind is all matte shades and Soul is a combo of matte and shimmery neutrals.

Sun Safety Kit 2014 From Sephora

Its that time of year again! The Sephora Sun Safety kit comes out and all beauty addicts go wild! The price is a very reasonable $32US and only $38 here in Canada. So its nice that we aren't quite being gauged like we normally do.

Now the nitty gritty of what comes in it:

The Products:

1. 0.06 oz Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta® Daily Glow Moisture 
2. 0.5 oz Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense® Lotion 
3. 0.14 oz Too Faced® Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer 
4. 0.3 oz Clarins UV Plus HP Multi-Purpose Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen 
5. 0.33 oz Murad® Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 PA++ 
6. 0.5 oz Tarte™ Brazilliance Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanner 
7. 0.23 oz Stila Stay All Day® 10-in-1 HD Bronzing Beauty Balm Broad-Spectrum SPF 30 
8. Dr. Dennis Gross™ Alpha Beta® Glow Pad

15. 0.08 oz Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 
16. 0.5 oz Ole Henriksen Protect the Truth SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum UV Protection
17. Travel bag 

And the biggest reason why I am debating getting it? $20 from the sale of each kit will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation! TALK ABOUT GUILT FREE SHOPPING!

 

Now do I NEED this? Of course not. But I did want to pick up the St Tropez mousse anyways to try on my face (I hear its AMAZING) and its $22.50 by itself (yes, its a full sized!), and there is enough sunblock in spf 50 (between Shiseido and Ole Henriksen to make up the rest of the value to me. Then I can do what I do with most of my samples to the rest - "here mom!!"

On sale now at sephora.com/sephora.ca for VIB's and thursday (tomorrow) for the rest of you guys! 

Are you guys getting this? Did you get it in years past? I want your opinions/feelings on the set! 

Stila Amped Up Vinyl Shine Stay All Day Lip Glosses - Swatched!

Well, these swatches are only........ I don't know, 5 weeks late? But I wanted to share them with you. I have to say, I would NEVER EVER EVER wear these. But I hate most glosses because I cant deal with sticky things on my lips. That being said, if sticky and thick lip products don't turn you off, these might be perfect!

Now let me say, these are STICKY! They are thick, they are sticky, and they are super pigmented. If you dont mind a thick sticky gloss, these are more a liquid lipstick than anything else. They have the pigment, opacity, staining, and staying power of a lipstick. They also have the gooey stickiness of a gloss.
