I am so bad. I ordered more stuff. I got the BCA (Breast Cancer Awareness) IT Gloss Trio. They're all supposed to be universally flattering shades of pink and the shade names are Courageous, Enticing and Inspiring. I also got the Ravishing Rose eyeshadow trio and the Pretty Pansy eyeshadow trio. The trios were $9.60 each and the gloss trio was $10. I can't get over these steals!

That's a great sale! Enjoy everything. :) I look forward to reading your thoughts on them, especially the Lip Glazes. Spiced Maple and Pumpkin Spice are really pretty. I hope you end up loving Summer e/s. It's one of my long-time favorites from Stila.

I got my first package yesterday! I'm still waiting on the Pretty Pansy and Ravishing Rose eyeshadow trios, and the BCA IT Gloss Trio (they are scheduled to arrive on Monday). Here are my thoughts so far:

I am super impressed with the Stila Stars Set! It's for warm-toned skin, so everything in this kit works for me! I wore all three eyeshadows today (Summer on the lid, Twig on the outer v, and Kitten on the browbone) and the look was naturally gorgeous. I also used the Tutu blush. I gotta' say, I'd never tried Stila's blushes before but was always curious about them. I like blushes that blend easily and look natural, and this blush is just as good as my Clinique Soft-Pressed Powder Blushers. The next time I'm at Sephora, I'm going to check out their other blushes. Tutu is a neutral peachy-pink that is so pretty. I layered the All Over Shimmer Powder in #9 over it and it looked glowy, not shimmery or glittery. I need to check out the All Over Shimmer Powders at Sephora too, because this one is just amazing! The lipstick is called Jane and is a great tan/nude shade, and the Vanilla lip glaze (also a nude) looks beautiful over it. I didn't wear Vanilla over it today though, I wore Spiced Rum lip glaze over it and loved that combo as well. Spiced Rum also looks gorgeous alone on my lips. Vanilla is a golden nude and Spiced Rum is more of a brownish-nude. The only other lip glaze that I tested was Pina Colada, and it's the PERFECT pale nude for when I do really bright eye looks like blues and purples. It's very sheer and shimmery, with no tan or brown undertones, kind of like MAC C-Thru lipglass without the creamy texture.

I still have to try the other lip glazes and the Travel IT Gloss Trio. I'll keep posting my thoughts as I try them! :)

ETA: I just wanted to clarify that it's not All Over Shimmer Eyes that came in the Stila Stars Set, it's the All Over Shimmer Powder. I made a boo-boo.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you love everything thus far! :) The eye look seems beautiful. I hope your second shipment arrives on Monday and look forward to more updates. I'm interested in your thoughts on the IT glosses. I haven't tried those before.

I used to have Jane lipstick, and I loved it. It was a great natural-looking shade. I used it down to the nub, but didn't quite finish it. I ended up throwing it away because it was pretty old, but I might re-purchase it one day.

I finally got my second order yesterday! The Pretty Pansy and Ravishing Rose eyeshadow trios are so pretty! I can't wait to try them out. The BCA IT Gloss Trio looks really nice as well. The first shade is a champagne pink, the second is a neutral rose, and the third is a brighter pink.

I also wore Spiced Maple lip glaze on Christmas Day. It's a really pretty red!

I still have sooo much stuff to try between all these new Stila products and the Prescriptives LE Warm Palette I got for Christmas. I will keep updating. :)

I wore Pumpkin Spice lip glaze last night. It's a beautiful peachy-melon shade! The lip glazes last on my lips just about as long as MAC lipglasses. My new loves.

I wore the Pretty Pansy eyeshadow trio today as well. I wore the lightest shade on my browbone, the medium shade on my lids and the darkest shade on the outer v. There is a pic in my profile. This is such a gorgeous trio of green shades with a slight hint of blue.

I know that it's in the Makeup Q&A Forum, and the title of it is "Another Stila Warehouse Sale" or something like that. I'm not sure how to link the thread. Maybe someone can help me out?

That trio is so pretty on you, Marisa!

Thanks, Erica! If you look on my myspace pics, there are a few more of me wearing it, and you'll see the avatar I have on here as full-size. It goes really well with my coloring. I'm glad to know I'll get a lot of use out of it!

Another update:

I tried a few shades of the IT glosses. I used the sheerer ones over my lipsticks. They're sticky but not as sticky as the lip glazes or my MAC lipglasses. Those two are my favorite formulas. These are still nice though and I'll use them up, but I'm not terribly impressed with the sheer ones. The sheer lip glazes are much better because they're thicker and plump my lips more, so I don't have to layer them over lipstick to get a good effect from them, if that makes sense.

Tonight I wore the Stila Midnight Bloom Lip Glaze Double for the first time. It's a really pretty plum/pink combo. It was perfect for my purple eye look today.

Thanks for the update on the IT glosses, Marisa. BTW, are the ones you bought frosty? I had checked out a few of the shades some time back, and those particular ones seemed to have a frost finish (which I don't like in a gloss)?

They are kind of frosty, and I think that's why I don't like the sheer ones as much. I definitely like the lip glazes better.
