Hey, cheerios! Did any of my eagle-eyed makeup geeks/freaks peep the Stila Lip Glaze lookalike in this week’s episode of Glee?
Yesterday’s migraine rendered me mentally useless, so I spent last night on the couch resting and catching up on Glee, the musical dramedy about misfit teens who sing show choir.
It took me a few episodes to warm up to the show — the pacing’s kinda weird — but now I’m hooked. The world needs more spontaneous musical numbers, right? And I’m totes crushing on Mr. Shu, played by Matthew Morrison. 🙂
In this week’s ep, Rachel, one of the glee club girls, is primping in the bathroom with a gloss that looks an awfully lot like Stila Lip Glaze.
Hmm…
The clear plastic click-pen tube and telltale brush tip — only the Glee clubbers know for sure, but what do you think? Is that Kitten? 🙂
Meow!
Were you ever in choir? I was a band geek back in school, but I bet I would have liked choir too.
Speaking of entertainment, what are you up to this weekend? I might be going to a Warriors game tomorrow night. Tabs asked me to sneak him into the arena in my purse. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

November 19th, 2009 at 7:52 pmGood eye! I haven’t seen Glee but have heard great things about it…When I’m not swamped with homework, maybe I’ll check it out. 🙂 I too was a band geek – and still am!

November 19th, 2009 at 9:51 pmHi Pinksoysauce,
I think that’s a badge you carry for life! What instrument did you play?
michelle says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:05 pmI totally spotted the Stila!! Does this confirm my incurable lipgloss addiction, or what?
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 9:51 pmHi Michelle,
Good eye, homeslice!

November 19th, 2009 at 8:15 pmI haven’t seen Glee yet, but Hubby’s got the TV cabled up to the computer now so I can Hulu to my heart’s content! 🙂
I was in choir from 6th grade all through High School, I loved it!
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 9:52 pmHi Glosslizard,
Oh nice! They don’t have the very first episodes… I had to get “creative” to watch ’em.
I hope you like the show. It’s a lot of fun!
Stephie says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:16 pmHaha. In middle school it was a choice of chorus, strings, or band for your 6th grade year then if you wanted to, you could do tech and art electives for the rest junior high. I stuck with chorus because 1. I didn’t need to learn any instruments AND 2. there were actually desks so I could do my hw when the “bass” or “altos” were practicing. Haha.

November 19th, 2009 at 9:53 pmHi Stephie,
Ha! Too funny! You young people and your multi-tasking… I won’t ever be able to figure it out, I swear.
Steph B says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:20 pmThey could be elf but I’m thinking Rachel could be a stila queen. Maybe more fruit punch than kitten, though.
The show definitely grew on me.
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 9:54 pmHi Steph B,
Right? I totally see her obsessing over Kitten eyeshadow.
Kajal Couture says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:39 pmOh I missed Glee this week…darn!! Oh and I totally admit it…I was in show choir all 4 years of high school. It was not pretty. If only I had known more about beauty back then. We had to wear poufy curly hair half up and half down, purple eyeshadow and thick eyeliner, and bright pink lipstick. Let’s not forget the hot pink dresses we wore. On stage we looked fabulous under stage lights, but up close and personal, we were quite a fright! Looking back it was tons of fun and I have so many great memories of bonding with the other choir girls and competing…and actually winning 1st place a few times! =)

November 19th, 2009 at 9:54 pmHi Kajal Couture,
I think I may have worn that same exact outfit to a few dances.

November 19th, 2009 at 9:23 pmFor some reason I thought of elf

November 19th, 2009 at 9:55 pmHi Nora,
Hmm, maybe! I haven’t tried that one yet. Looks interesting!
Kate & Zena says
November 19th, 2009 at 9:35 pmI was…AM in choir. I’ve been in a choir since I was six years old. I entered school choir when I entered middle school and there was one. Before that, church choir. Yep, I’m the choir geek.
I did band for a while (played violin!). God, I’d love to go back to violin. But, knowing me, I’d never practice and I have no time for violin, sadly. I’m sure Zena wouldn’t be too pleased with the sound of a violin either. I have a noise wimp for a dog. Bunnies, badgers, moles, groundhogs, squirrels, no problem. The sound of trains, thunder or fireworks, Zena becomes a wimp.
And that is most definitely a stila lipgloss pen. Elf has a different end (and I HATE the smell).
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 9:56 pmHi Kate & Zena,
For some reason I see Zena liking the sound of marimbas, LOL!
amy says
November 19th, 2009 at 11:15 pmI thought it might be Stila because of the pen style brush, but I could be wrong. I like Mr Shu, he is adorable but just a tad too wholesome for me LOL.

November 19th, 2009 at 11:28 pmLOL, I dunno. She’s a peculiar dog. She does like Lady Gaga, ironically. I was playing ‘bad romance’ earlier and she was bopping her head to the beat. It was very strange watching her bop her head. And then she fell asleep, LOL. I’m analyzing that music video for my g&s final. It’s the only m.v. I actually like of hers. The others are a bit much for me.
Samantha says
November 20th, 2009 at 1:41 amI cheered in high school…and I was also in an automotive club. Drama for one year, too, but that wasn’t worth it because no one took it seriously. We didn’t even put on a play. Lame.
Watching cheerleading-related movies now can sometimes be irksome. The cheerleaders in the movies [usually the actors, not the real ones they bring in for stunts and tumbling] aren’t as tight as they should be and their words run together a bit. If a real squad ever did that, they’d most likely have drill-related punishments waiting for them at the next practice.

November 20th, 2009 at 3:24 amAhh, I love Glee! Artie is absolutely amazing. The character is absolutely adorable and I love his voice. Puck also has a damn good voice, and Mercedes is my favorite of the girls. Of course, Mr. Schuster is super cute.
My high school didn’t have a Glee club, but I was in Madrigals my freshman year. I only did it for one year, though, because it was a bad group of people when it came to both singing talent AND personality. Ick.
After that, I did the school musicals and my own stuff — I was always more into opera than choral music, anyway. I ended up not pursuing it professionally despite doing it in college (I also did physics and politics so I was a busy little bee); it’s a hard ass life, and I’m kind of screwed over by my height. I’m 5’11,” meaning I would be stuck doing pants roles (playing a dude) for my entire career. People tend not to cast a female who is taller than/the same height as her male counterpart.
I’d be fine with playing guys all the time — okay, maybe I’d PREFER not to but I could deal — but the problem is that the vast majority of pants roles are for a different vocal type than mine. Usually, they’re pre-pubescent boys, so they have really light, moderately high voices (a lyric mezzo role). My voice is just too heavy for it (but not too low — I mostly sing soprano roles). Unfortunately for my potential career, a dramatic coloratura is about as far away from a lyric as you can get. I just wouldn’t get cast.
Luckily, when you just take lessons for yourself, you can sing whatever you want! I’m glad I kept music in my life. It’s always fun, and a great release for when I’m stressed. 🙂
Alyssa says
November 20th, 2009 at 3:32 amLOL. I completely noticed that too! I was like hmmm… Stila!? Good eye 😉
This weekend, I pretty much already started! I received an unexpected package, got tickets for a concert for next Tuesday, and watched New Moon! Funny, because my actual weekend would actually be spent working! Oh well, at least I’m making money, right? 😛

TaLaisa says
November 20th, 2009 at 6:43 amHas to be Stila, the ELF ones are smaller like the gloss sets you get at Sephora with 8 of Stila’s small versions of the lipgloss. I could be wrong, but she’d be sporting some seriously petite hands, if that’s an ELF. (sidenote I can’t stand the fake orange taste and smell of those ELF lipgloss)

Amanda says
November 20th, 2009 at 9:07 amI’m a Gleek! We love, love, love glee. So funny. I was a band nerd too. 🙂 BTW, the guest star who played Suzy Pepper was driving me crazy, so I checked IMBD and she is also on Mad Men! Kitty Romero….Sal’s wife. crazy, huh?
As for the lipgloss, yup,totally looks like stila. But I would say on Racheal the color looked more pink/darker, maybe coral? Might be starfruit or papya.
Nadine says
November 20th, 2009 at 10:37 amAs soon as I saw that, my first thought was also Stila lip glaze! In Showmance, I spotted Rachel touching up an with Urban Decay compact at her locker while she was eavesdropping on Quinn & Finn. It looked like De-Slick Mattifying Powder to me, but it could’ve been a colored powder.
Citrine says
November 20th, 2009 at 1:23 pmIt could be Pixi lip booster in Daisy…(I sort of like PIXI better because they are less gooey than Stila and there are more products each tube.)

Trude says
November 20th, 2009 at 2:52 pmI totally did show choir all through high school, which makes this show even funnier for me! Everyone is like “but the singing makes me uncomfortable” and I’m like “Its supposed to!” 🙂 Cracks me up. Love the social commentary, and Jane Lynch’s lines are zingers, every. single. time.

November 20th, 2009 at 3:36 pmI play flute, and am appreciating the instrument a lot more now than I did back in fifth grade lol. 🙂 I’m a sophomore in high school now. What did you play?
tabby says
November 20th, 2009 at 5:44 pmI was a band geek, too. Flute in high school, sax in college.
I’m going to the SFB area to spend the week with my family.
My flight leaves at 6am my time (Eastern) & arrives in SF at around lunchtime (Pacific).
Ruth says
November 20th, 2009 at 7:14 pmHAHA That was the first thing I blurted out while watching it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that show & Lip Glaze !
Jen says
November 21st, 2009 at 2:21 amI don’t watch Glee, but it definitely looks like Stila. I was also a huge BG in high school… and I still am. Yay for scholarship tuition waivers!
Natalia says
November 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pmMan if my high school had a show choir i would most deffinetly would have been in it. I love singing to my hearts desire ever since I was a little girl onto college ^.^ And yes I am obsessed with Glee! I catch it every Wednesday(if there isnt any sports or other reason I cant watch it), and no I didnt catch the Stila lipglaze there =P
