Heya, pretties! How’s your Wednesday coming along? I’m a little giddy right now because I just met some friends for coffee.
My new homegirls, Foxy and Jewel, are two of the four limited edition beauty cans from Stila’s new Barbie Loves Stila collection ($40 each).
I must admit, as I sat there slurping java through a straw (gotta avoid staining those chompers!), I felt a little underwhelming in the presence of such hotties. Foxy and Jewel look so glamorous-flossy-flossy in their hot pink canisters.
But these girls aren’t just pretty on the outside; they each come with lipgloss, mascara and a gaw-geous coordinating palette with two eyeshadows and a blush.
Foxy’s sassy, summery orange, gold and berry shades are hard to ignore.
Swatches from left to right: Lash Visor Waterproof Mascara in Black, Stila Lip Glaze in Foxy (sheer orange with gold glitter), blush in matte berry, eyeshadow in shimmery goldish brown, eyeshadow in shimmery goldish beige
She’s the girl who commands attention when she enters a room, whereas Jewel’s the consummate girl next door (who just happens to be stunning, LOL!). Her makeup in shades of pink, peach and brown is all about flirty and fun.
Swatches from left to right: Multi-Effect Mascara in Black, Stila Lip Glaze in Jewel (pearly hot pink), blush in shimmery cool candy pink, eyeshadow in shimmery peachy brown, eyeshadow in shimmery peachy pink
I wished I could have hung out longer with my new friends, but today’s a school day for me. I have to get my higher learning on, gah!
Don’t fret! This won’t be the last we’ll see of the girls. I’ll put some looks up in the next few days. 🙂
From looking at the swatches, though, I have the feeling Foxy and Jewel will bring the cuteness.
Tabs has already fallen in love…
Oh, one more thing before I head out: if you’re planning to get anything from the Barbie Loves Stila collection, Stila’s offering a free Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer and free ground shipping with the purchase of any Barbie Loves Stila product (this week only) using coupon code BIRTHDAY at checkout.
Be back in a few! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

March 11th, 2009 at 11:43 amWow, those are beautiful! When I heard about the Barbie collection coming, I was kind of annoyed with the idea. Pleasantly surprised because I WANT to wear the Jewel Doll colors!
Thanks, Karen!

March 11th, 2009 at 11:57 amthese are a lot nicer than i expected them to be! the jewel lip gloss appears really pigmented.
on an unrelated note…what was the font that you used for the “Tabby <3 Stila?” or did you simply scan your handwriting? i must have it!

March 11th, 2009 at 1:55 pmThank you for the swatches!! I was just looking into the Jewel Barbie last night! 🙂

March 11th, 2009 at 3:01 pmOh my YSL, those are gorgeous! I love these tins. I totally need to get my hands on the Jewel one, mostly because I greatly resemble the Barbie on the container 🙂
By the way, I remembered you had a post about skincare products a little while ago. You should seriously try the Noutregena Pink Grapefruit line. It works wonders on my combination skin. The scrub works well when my skin is peeling or dry (it softly removes the dead skin), but the regular pump bottle is great as an all around face wash. My skin has never been so clear (or smelled so good)!

March 11th, 2009 at 3:05 pmOk I WANT! I saw these on another blog but didn’t think much of them that time. I change my mind after seeing them again.

March 11th, 2009 at 3:15 pmOoh, I want the Foxy Doll one! I have pretty light skin but with gold/orangey undertones so I’m sure I could rock those colors. I wasn’t sure about the lipglaze but I can see on your skin that it clearly isn’t a scary orange, but a very pretty sparkly coral. Thanks!

March 11th, 2009 at 3:30 pmI’m loving the look of the Foxy Lip Glaze – its so pretty!
Work is still pretty stressful. We seem to be going through a busy period, we’ve had various people off sick and I’ve just recently been promoted to team leader so I’m really feeling the pressure to keep everything running super-smoothly. I’m very pleased with the promotion, but I can’t believe how quickly I’ve felt the pressure pile on and its not coming from my boss. I just feel obligated now, you know?
I think I just need a little bit of adjustment time to get used to having the weight on my shoulders. At the moment I’m not sleeping well, I’m having a lot of bad dreams and waking up feeling like I only just fell asleep. I’m thinking this is what stress must feel like!
Hope you’re doing better than I am, anyway!

March 11th, 2009 at 4:30 pmHey Karen! Great minds think alike – foxy and jewel are the 2 cans that I bought as well! And much to my surprise, I like foxy the best! I can’t wait to see looks you put together for these!

March 11th, 2009 at 5:27 pmThese are pretty. Jewel is real pretty.
Eh, my Wednesday has been spent at the emergency room for four long hours. Don’t worry, my mom and I are fine. My back is just killing me from sitting in the most uncomfortable chair for that long. I did nearly land on my ass when trying to get down from the front of the ambulance though (I got to ride shotgun!). Hospital chairs are most definitely not designed for lower back scoliosis people like me.
Michelle says
March 11th, 2009 at 8:17 pmThese are pretty but I wish they came out with one of the Latina Barbie dolls 😉
Felicia says
March 19th, 2009 at 9:05 amI absolutely love Foxy! I bought Foxy and the other palette with the 1950s Barbie (can’t think of the name right now) and I must say I was so impressed by Foxy. I haven’t even tried the other tin yet. My daughter wants the Foxy tin because she says the doll has hair like her mommy (smile). The lip gloss is a beautiful orangy coral type color on me. I’ve been looking for an nice orangy lipgloss for a minute now. You make me want to go get Jewel as I type. Matter of fact, I’m waiting on Sephora’s page to load…haha!

April 21st, 2009 at 1:56 amLOVELY!!!! U girls are damn lucky to have the cute Barbie Loves Stila Collection! Here in Malaysia, we the beauty-obsessed girls never got the chance to lay our hands on the four Barbie girls. In fact we’ll never see Stila again starting next month! How sad is that? I hope Stila doesn’t just die down like that. We Malaysians love stila soooo muacks~
