Stila Summer 2012 Products / Collection. Stila has some great products to help us create our best summer glow this season. From luminizer to lip & cheek Stain and even self-adjusting bronzer. Look below to see all of the new products available in stores now. 

All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer 


 

 

  • Pink Shimmer
  • Bronze Shimmer
  • Rose Gold Shimmer
  • Kitten Shimmer

One Step Illuminate 


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).

Stay All Day Waterproof Volumizing Mascara 

 

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 Waterproof Volumizing Mascara 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.

Baked Setting Powder 


 

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 moisturize 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
  • Set & Correct Powder Three color-correcting powders (peach, green & lavender) color-correct and mattify skin – the combination brightens and evens skin tone, setting makeup with a flawless, satin finish
  • Set & Bronze Powder Three bronzing powders (matte bronze, Kitten shimmer & bronze shimmer) give skin the appearance of a healthy, natural, sun-kissed glow

Passion Fruit Crush Lip & Cheek Stain 

 

Stila’s latest “crush” creates a beautiful blush red shade with just the right amount of subtle shimmer for lips and cheeks. The formula contains vitamin-rich passion fruit extracts to soften and nourish the skin and antioxidants to help neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals.

Self-Adjusting Bronze Custom Color Blush

 

The newest addition to Stila’s Custom Color Blush family, this perceptive one-shade-fits-all powder blush comes in a natural bronze hue, with a hint of shimmer for a customized sun-kissed summer glow. The innovative powder blush reacts to each individual’s pH to create a perfect, personalized 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.

Guest Post From Monica- Changing Your Mascara Wands To Create The Perfect Mascara

Guest Post From Monica- Changing Your Mascara Wands To Create The Perfect Mascara. Hey Beauties, I have yet another guest post from a lovely reader. Monica from Glitz n Glamour Makeup. She does alot of great mascara reviews so be sure to check her blog out if you love eye looks.  Remember if you want to do your own guest post simply email me at fashionpriness1228@yahoo.com and I'll tell you how your post can get featured as well.
 
-Hey everyone!  I'm Monica, and I'm from a blog called Glitz n Glamour Makeup!  You can find me at glitznglamourmakeup.blogspot.com :)  I first wanted to thank Danielle for allowing me to do a guest review!

The product I'm reviewing today are Maybelline mascaras.  I had picked up a Maybelline Colossal mascara a while back, and although I loved the brush, I had gotten brown instead of black.  I had also picked up Maybelline classic mascara, and even though the formula was pretty good I hated the brush.  Since I was going to through them out anyways, I thought:  Hm..  Would the Colossal brush work in the Classic bottle?

And voila!  My favorite mascara was born.




Not only does switching the brushes around work with the Classic and Colossal, but it works with One by One, Falsies, MegaPlush, and any other Volum' Express mascaras! 


The more important question is:  Does it work well??  Here are my bare eyelashes, I didn't curl them.

As compared to.... 
One coat of the Classic/Colossal mascara!


Eyes closed with Classic/Colossal mascara.


 I really liked the mixture of volume and length this gave me. I had no problems with it flaking/smudging during the day. Buying two new tubes of mascara just to do this may not be logical, but you already own some Maybelline mascaras that you don't completely love, I'd recommend it. Be sure to clean the brushes well before switching them. So what do you think, would you try this? If you do, tell us what combination you used in the comments! Thanks for reading, and please check out my blog! xoxo Monica glitznglamourmakeup.blogspot.com

Get Emma Stone's Hairstyle From The 2012 MTV Movie Awards

Get Emma Stone's Hairstyle From The 2012 MTV Movie Awards. If you missed all of the fashion looks from the red carpet, check out my latest newsletter covering all of the latest, hairstyles, makeup and beauty looks. Emma looked incredible wearing a black and ivory dress, and her hairstyle was kept in a twisted updo. Look below to see how Celebrity Hairstylist Mara Roszak created her perfect do. I love that unexpected pop of pink on her lips!



“I wanted the style to feel like a twist on a simple updo with strong elements of fun and femininity,” says Mara Roszak on the inspiration for this look.

STEP BY STEP LOOK:
1. Enhance the brightness and vibrancy of blonde hair by washing with Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Shampoo and Conditioner.
2. Apply a golf ball sized amount of Sebastian Professional Mousse Forte to the lengths of towel dried hair.
3. Loosely twist random 1-inch sections of hair towards the back, bobby pin in place, and blow-dry. Once the hair is dry, remove the pins and let the twists fall out.
4. Emulsify a dollop of Wella Professionals Texture Touch in palms and apply to the lengths of the hair for added texture.
5. Then twist the hair on either side of the forehead, connecting at the back of the head. Bobby pin the twists in place, criss-crossing the pins to ensure a secure hold.
6. Gently tease the rest of hair and pin it up into a messy bun, allowing pieces to fall out naturally.
7. Finish the style with a spritz of Wella Professionals Stay Firm Finishing Spray.
