What We're Sweet On: A Pane-Fully Stylish Palette

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 11:20:00 PDT

Stila's holiday palettes are always lovely, but this year's Dream in Full Color palette ($39) is both totally gorgeous and amazingly affordable. Plus, it comes with an easy-to-follow instruction booklet that tells you how to create seven different looks. Even if you lose the booklet, all you really need to know is that you start outside of each "petal" and work your way toward the center, finishing up with the included waterproof liner pencil. The shadow in the middle is Stila's beloved Kitten, and there's even blush ringing the outside. And if you like the multishadow compact idea but want something portable (the Full Color palette is about the size of a Frisbee), check out the Daydream palette ($18), a miniversion with bright shades and just a few less color layering options.

Cutesy kitties popped up on Miu Miu's spring 2010 runway, and now they're heading to your makeup bag. Paul & Joe have limited-edition cat-head lipsticks, while MAC's newest collection is inspired by Burmese and Russian Blue cats. Then again, Stila's always had a hit with Kitten, its shimmery pink cult-fave eye shadow. Feeling feline? Click the photos to check out some of the catty offerings.

This Palette Is Such a Steal, It's Practically Free

BellaSugar — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:01:54 PDT

For day-to-day use, we rarely pick up our palettes. But for travel, they're indispensable. Everything you need is in one simple, easy-to-pack place. Stila apparently thinks the same way, because it just launched Travel Girl palettes, a collection of five color stories rolling out over the next few months. Each one follows another character as she explores the US, France, Russia, Fiji, and Japan.

Here's the best part: they are shockingly inexpensive. For $10, Road to Radiance Across the USA serves up four eye shadows in pinks and purples, plus a multiuse color cream. Cute, affordable, and pretty. What can we say? Party in the USA.

While many cosmetic companies and chemists assure consumers that parabens are safe, some brands are adding paraben-free products into their lineup. The latest to introduce paraben-free foundations: Stila and Philosophy. I've been wearing both (no, not at the same time) for the past few weeks. So to get my thoughts, read more.
