Stila spokesmodel Tabs the Cat…
Rise and shine, morning glories. 🙂 How’d you sleep? Tabs tells me it’s going to be a beautiful day today. He’s been taking good care of me, and my headache’s all but gone. I guess the bed rest and Stila Kitten holiday set swatches ($18 limited edition, one of 10 new Stila sets at Sephora) he prescribed finally did the trick.
This particular two-piece set comes with one full-size eyeshadow pan and a Lip Glaze, both in Kitten, the shimmery, peachy champagne shade much beloved by Stila fans and tubby makeup-loving cats.

How do you feel about this as a stocking stuffer?
Sign me up! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

November 19th, 2009 at 7:09 amHi Karen! The colors are lovely, a lil bit shimmery which I like and in so natural colors. Well I guess is another world out there for me to discover, beside pink 🙂

November 19th, 2009 at 8:12 amHi Shely Lee,
Me too. I love how girly and soft it is. Have you seen the new Stila website? The vibe feels completely different.
Diane says
November 19th, 2009 at 7:31 amOmg i bought this from the Sephora F&F sale!!! 🙂 I can’t wait to start using it!!!! Haha I’m so wanting the Stila Kitten smudge pot now though!!!

November 19th, 2009 at 8:11 amHi Diana,
I have the Smudgepot and love it! You gotta get it. 🙂
Christina says
November 19th, 2009 at 7:38 amI love the color, and definitely a fan of Kitten eyeshadow and smudgepot… but I’m curious if the lip glaze looks good on pale girls with darker lips like me? Haven’t tried it out yet so I’m curious.

November 19th, 2009 at 8:11 amHi Christina,
The pigmentation of this color is sheer… I’m guessing it’ll work better for you if you used it to layer on top of lipsticks.
Hope your day is off to a good start. Is it Friday yet?!?
E.D. says
November 19th, 2009 at 7:42 amOooh, want!
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:10 amHi E.D.,
I take it you’re a fan of Kitten. 🙂
Kelly says
November 19th, 2009 at 7:47 amHi Karen!
Glad you are starting to feel back to normal 🙂
I have the lip gloss and it’s too sheer for my tastes. The shadow looks lovely though.
I love how Tabs just fills up the sink perfectly. Sammy would runneth over 🙂

Thanks! Everything feels like better when one’s head isn’t throbbing. 🙂
Maybe get Sammy a XXL sink?

Aw, that’s too bad!
Sarah says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:04 amI love the colors, very subtle but nice.
Also, I’m glad you’re feeling better and Tabs looks so cute! My cats liek the walk on the sink, but have yet to sit in it…
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:07 amHi Sarah,
What is it with cats and sinks? Maybe they’re convinced sinks are kitty spas? 🙂
Kajal Couture says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:04 amI think this is great for Stila fans who have a palette. Otherwise, I doubt people will carry around just a pan of shadow with them. Colors are great though!! And the pic with Tabs is toooo adorable!

Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:05 amHi Kajal Couture,
Believe it or now I have a few random pans that have yet to find homes in a palette! They do okay, LOL!
Shiny says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:11 amHmmm I have a shadow almost exactly like that, and the lipgloss is way too sheer for me. I don’t know what happened to me as of late, I have found ways to justify not buying new makeup! It used to be the other way around!
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:14 amHi Shiny,
Perhaps you’re saving your makeup lust up for something big!
Dao says
November 19th, 2009 at 9:10 amOoh nice, I’ll take Tabs and Kitten set, too! Belly says hi to y’all. He’s been a good kitty.

Ha! I wouldn’t it be funny if Tabs was a GWP?
Roxanne says
November 19th, 2009 at 10:03 amPurrty! Wish I could get it.
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 11:40 amHi Roxanne,
Yay, team Stila Kitten! 🙂
Kelly says
November 19th, 2009 at 10:10 amSammy needs a tub LOL!!

November 19th, 2009 at 11:39 amHi Kelly,
LOL! Or maybe a jacuzzi…
Sarah says
November 19th, 2009 at 10:38 amSeriously? Tabs is so ridiculously cute. Can you clone him? How cute would an itty bitty tabs be? If I put that on my cat Willy, my eyeball would be hanging off his claw. That’s mama’s boy!!
I have both the shadow and gloss; although i bought them separately. I love them both, and I like the powder shadow more than the smudge pot, which seemed to crease and then just disappear. At least on my oil-slicked lids, anyway.
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 11:37 amHi Sarah,
Hmm, maybe you can try layering your Smudge Pot on top of a base like Too Faced Shadow Insurance. That might help to give it more “stick.”
Christina says
November 19th, 2009 at 11:05 amHi, Karen,
I’m glad you’re feeling better! And thanks for the suggestion about the lip glaze… I feel like if I buy the set, I might give that to my sister and keep the shadow for selfish me. 😉
My day is off to a fantastic start. When I got to one of the college campuses where I teach, I discovered a zombie war… and one of my students was participating. Cracks me up!
Hope your day is going well, too. Friday is *almost* here…

November 19th, 2009 at 11:37 amHi Christina,
Ha! That’s totally something I would do. 🙂
Zombie wars, hmm. That makes me think of The Zombie Survival Guide! Did you know that zombies can’t climb stairs?
jojoba (My Makeup Reviews) says
November 19th, 2009 at 12:03 pmthe first pic should have been a stila ad for this set! the e/s is a bit shimmery for some people but yes, this will be a good set as a gift for the holiday. 🙂
Christina says
November 19th, 2009 at 12:12 pmI didn’t know that! I hope my student knows. 😀

Kristen says
November 19th, 2009 at 12:28 pmA fan of the gloss, but not the eyeshadow. Too nude…I like a darker eye.
Angie says
November 19th, 2009 at 12:32 pmHey Karen, glad you’re starting to feel better. I think this is a pretty good stocking stuffer, but it’s not among the top Stila products. I’ve been using their bronzer for a while… I love it! Also, has anyone seen the commercials for Stila? So weird! I feel like they don’t fit with their image at all, and they’re kinda cheesy.

November 19th, 2009 at 12:33 pmThe colors are too subtle for my taste but the packaging is very cute!

Hiya Karen! I have this set and am now lusting after the kitten smudgepot!
Stephie says
November 19th, 2009 at 8:29 pmI quite like the eyeshadow shade of kitten. I hit pan on colors like that like nobody’s business. But those Stila Lip Glazes KILL me. I dislike twist clicky pens but I am an overzealous twister. Slowly oozing lipgloss = hot mess. I must say it’s a beautiful shade on your Karen.
Btw, Did Tabs really plop himself into the sink or did you lead him there for a photo op? 😛

November 19th, 2009 at 10:01 pmHi Angie,
I haven’t seen the commercials! I will have to keep an eye out.
Have you seen their new website? It looks and feels quite different from their old one. Definitely a different vibe…
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 10:01 pmHiya Tiffany,
DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!
Karen says
November 19th, 2009 at 10:02 pmHi Stephie,
Ha! I have the tendency to over click. I definitely need to pull it back a notch!
As for the cat, he gets in there all by himself. He sleeps there all the time!
