Introducing The Stila Summer 2012 Collection

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Poppy Stila

Even the most SPF-savvy Stila girl must admit – when summer beckons, we all want to be just a little golden, with that gorgeous glow that seems to come from within. From triple-swirled serum to baked powder, Stila’s summer collection brings the latest in illuminating innovation. And the perfect complement to radiant, sun-kissed skin. Lush lashes that last and a pop of passion fruit pigment!

Here's a rundown of the new summer collection:

One Step Illuminate £24 View in-store now

This innovative serum instantly illuminates, primes and nourishes the skin to improve tone and texture, diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The oil-free formula features Stila’s revolutionary Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex. It melts into the skin and dries down to hydrate and balance while controlling oil production. One Step Illuminate contains a swirl of three illuminating bronzers (pale pink, champagne & Kitten).

All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminiser £16 View in-store now

Stila’s best-selling All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminiser is even better than before. Now available in three gorgeous shades, this creamy, skin-enhancing luminiser gives skin a fresh, radiant glow. Soft focus pigments add a touch of shimmer to help diminish skin imperfections and minimise the appearance of fine lines and sun spots. Use alone or add a drop to your favourite face lotion or foundation. Shades include: Pink Shimmer, Bronze Shimmer, Rose Gold Shimmer, Kitten Shimmer.

Baked Setting Powder £24 View in-store now

Developed using a unique baking technique, these sheer, lightweight setting powders are velvety soft. One to illuminate, one to mattify, and one to bronze – each 3-in-1 compact comes with a mirror and an ingenious shaver that evenly distributes three different shades, mixing them into a fine, silky powder for easy application. The luxurious formulas contain Vitamin E, antioxidants and jojoba oils to moisturise and condition skin while providing beautifying benefits:

Set & Illuminate Powder – Three brightening powders (pale pink, champagne & Kitten) containing specialty pearls and pigments illuminate cheekbones, under eye brows and/or décolleté. View in-store now

Set & Correct Powder – Three colour-correcting powders (peach, green & lavender) colour-correct and mattify skin – the combination brightens and evens skin tone, setting makeup with a flawless, satin finish. View in-store now

Set & Bronze Powder – Three bronzing powders (matte bronze, Kitten shimmer & bronze shimmer) give skin the appearance of a healthy, natural, sun-kissed glow. View in-store now

For the eyes...

Stay All Day Lash Mascara £15 View in-store now

This innovative waterproof mascara contains a unique polymer with an extremely high resistance to water for the ultimate in long-wear performance. Unlike other waterproof mascaras, Stay All Day Lash leaves lashes soft and protected without smudging, budging or flaking. The rich, buildable formula contains a conditioning agent, coconut oil and antioxidant-rich mango butter. A unique 3D brush with three rows of combing bristles expertly applies a generous coat of mascara for dramatic volume and lift, to lengthen and define each lash.

For the cheeks and lips...

The innovative powder blush reacts to each individual’s pH to create a perfect, personalised shade with its unique one-shade-fits-all technology. This blendable velvet-soft formula smoothes the appearance of fine lines and imperfections to leave the skin with a luminous, flawless flush.

Sparkle is a girl’s best friend!

Posted on April 03, 2012 by Sydney Burges

Everyone has heard of the cat eye and we have all seen it before but, for a bit of a twist you could use my new favourite eyeliner, stila's sparkle waterproof liquid liner. Ever since I modelled for the stila UK launch event last year I’ve been hooked by their reliable and superb products! The sparkle waterproof liquid liner is definitely one of my favourites as it lasts ALL day, it’s completely shower, swim and sleep proof making it the perfect eyeliner for busy people who don’t have the time re-apply their makeup every hour.

Using stila's sparkle liner for the cat eye was super easy, you only need to apply one layer because the pigmentation is so fantastic and the tiny flecks of iridescent glitter don’t clump at all when winging out the eyeliner! The soft sponge applicator glides gently across the top of your lash line allowing you to get that irresistible cat eye look without any mishaps. A dream come true!

This eyeliner comes in eight truly AMAZING colours, from the glamorous black to some more vibrant tones of blues and greens! The stunning varieties of colours are perfect for spring as I am itching to brighten up my makeup. Pair the sparkle liner with stila's forever your curl mascara and you have a simple, unique and truly jaw dropping look!

My Top Tips for the perfect sparkle cat eye...

1) Begin by dotting the eyeliner along your lash line to ensure you get the shape you want, and then simply join up the dots!
2) Start with a thinner line near the tear duct and fatten it up the further out you get.
3) Keep your eye closed for 10 seconds after applying the liner to make sure you don’t smudge or print the eyeliner in your crease.

Stila's sparkle waterproof liquid liner has certainly put a spring in my step!

Enjoy,

Sydney x
