I love nice makeup, I do use lower end brands but I don’t really feel excited about it! One of my favourite snob friendly brands pre blogging and pre 2006 was Stila.
I collected all of the Holiday goodies, all of the trios with the cardboard packaging, I even managed to blag myself a paint can although I was too scared to use it much! If you don’t know Stila from back in the day then check out these awesome pictures of old products http://www.makeupmuseum.org/home/stila/ In fact here is a rather old review I did on Makeupalley back in 2003 when I was ooh 18/19? Hence why I was moaning about the price as I earned a pittance when I was that age, yet still scraped together my pennies for makeup ;P
Enough of the ramble and step back in time, what this is all leading up to is the fact that OMG STILA IS BACK back in the UK which it hasn’t been since 2006 which makes me very very excited.
I went to the event (eeee) haven’t been to an event in ages because of working but I rearranged stuff as I had to go I just had to I was so excited beforehand, during and especially after I ate that massive blue cake (ahem and perhaps another one or two) the sugar high made me even more excited. I have to admit I was a little nervous as the Stila pro artist Dom Briguglio looked very Jersey Shore meets LA cool whereas I looked more like ‘stumbled over after work’ uncool. But he was soo lovely and I got a minute to chat to him after the presentation of products about brushes and I felt a bit star struck ah I do love Stila. He recommended me a brush book so you can keep your brushes in a drawer, it sounded fabulous but old sieve brain managed to forget the name in the excitement…d’oh!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE CONVERTIBLE COLOURS
Want some Stila? Then from July you can get it from BOOTS www.boots.com www.asos.com
Could I be more excited? Unless someone wants to give me a free pair of Louboutins then no, I don’t think I could!
