Lela Rose is the kind of fashion designer I can get behind, mostly because she makes her runway looks work for regular women. Not only does she have a just-the-right-side-of-prissy shoe line at Payless, she's also making her Spring 2009 runway makeup more affordable.
Beauty.com teamed up with Stila, whose makeup artists created the look for the Spring Lela Rose runway show. The same products used on models are now available as the Backstage with Lela Rose kit ($34). It contains mascara, a shimmery champagne eye shadow, a bronzer, and a lip gloss — plus notes on how to recreate the simple look at home. Purchased separately, these goodies would be $77, so it's not a bad deal at all.

I absolutely love Stila mascara. I got a free sample once at Sephora and have been using it ever since. I have tried all the mascaras that people love (e.g., Diorshow) but Stila is the only mascara that a) doesn't clump and most importantly b) does not smear or smudge by the end of the day. I never look messy when I wear it and I value this over a dramatic eye that begins to run down my face by the end of the night (read: Diorshow).
1Nice deal!
2"Lela Rose took women from the African jungle to the concrete jungle by way of the New York runway for Spring 2009. Along for the journey, Stila was backstage to create the sun-kissed, safari-inspired look..."
Really, Lela Rose? Really, Stila? Seeing that it is 2009, maybe it's time to lose the colonial mentality. For once I am thankful that Stila doesn't include women of color in their brand images.
3I love everything I've ever bought from Stila...such amazing products.
