I've reviewed this before, but I thought I would do it again as it is part of my Stila travel palette series.

This is the first of five travel beach palettes that Stila released Summer of 2011. I fell in love with this one at Urban Outfitters and had to get the rest... and then some. This one is one of my favorites. You can get a really pretty natural look but it also has a nice flair with the green color, Palm Trees.

Starfish is a light shimmery champagne rose, Sandbar is a deep brown with lots of lighter brown glitter, Getaway is a light violet color with multi colored glitter, and Palm Trees is a pretty green with gold glitter. Playa is a peachy pink matte color, and Banderas Bay is a light pink glittery highlight color (it barely shows up but it is there, under Playa).

This is probably one of the most wearable palettes in the beach collection! Check it out if you can find it! It's worth every penny!

My 100th Post! Stila Lip Glaze Review and Giveaway

 Hello everyone! This is my 100th post! Hip hip hooray!

In honor of my 100th post, I'm doing my first official giveaway. But first I am going to talk about the products.

So above are my Stila lip glazes in Raisin, Grapefruit, and Seashell. I bought them in a kit at Urban Outfitters for $12 dollars. These are not full size, but they are pretty close. I didn't like them initially, but it was more because I didn't use enough product. I wouldn't twist it enough. Now that I know to twist it more, I have had a much easier time with it.

So these colors are very pigmented and they also smell great. Each one has its own individual scent which I think is really cool. The glosses are also not sticky which is another big bonus. Raisin is a pretty berry color, Seashell is a cool-toned nude color, and Grapefruit is a bright pink.

I will definitely be buying these again! No on to the giveaway portion!

The giveaway will be a Stila Lip Glaze in Raisin (the one pictured above). It has not been used. It is not full size, it is the same size as the ones I have.

So how do you enter? Well first of all you have to subscribe to either my blog, twitter, facebook, or youtube channel.

Stila Travel Palette Series

So as you can probably see from the title, this is going to be my first post from my Stila Travel Palette series. As you can see from the pictures, I have 10 of these. Not only are they great, they are also awesome collectibles. I collect them and my friend Becca collects them as well.

The first set of five are from the Beach Collection. The next three were released solely with Urban Outfitters, and the last two were released independently and I purchased them on Haute Look.

So stay tuned for the next 10 posts on these palettes! Also I will be hitting my 100th post soon so stick around for my giveaway!
