The Scoop On Barbie Loves Stila!

Barbie Loves Stila is the holy trinity of cute packaging, nostalgic licensing, and a good deal on beauty products. JACKPOTx3! The limited-edition collection launches in February at Sephora in honor of Babs' 50th birthday.

The collection includes four $40 "Decades of Beauty" paint cans, which come with a compact with two eyeshadows and a cheek color, mascara, lipgloss, and a lookbook, and feature four different dolls --- Ponytail Doll, for the very first Barbie in 1959; Malibu Barbie, from 1971 (my favorite because she looks a little like "Dazed & Confused" Barbie); Foxy Doll, in honor of the first Black doll released in 1980 (little late to the party there, Mattel? I'm pretty sure Black people were around a little before 1980); and 2000's Jewel Doll, who looks like old-school Britney.

Also part of the collection: a Barbie talking eye palette style. The Barbie for Stila products will also be used to Barbie-fy the models in the Barbie fashion show happening at New York Fashion Week in Febs.

CRAZY-Good Deals At MAC Online!


Get 25% off EVERYTHING (except Viva Glam, because that goes to CHARITY, holmes) at MAC online, okay? Promo code: MACFF9, expires at 11:59PM EST tonight.

I HIGHLY recommend MAC's Mineralize Eyeshadow Trios in Word-of-Mouth (left) and Threesome (right). They're $17.50 each, but they're biggies, and they go a long way. The blue/grey shade in Word-of-Mouth (which I contend should NOT be hyphenated, BTW), is nice and subtle, and the copper stripe is bold and luscious. I've pulled off a nice sub-smokey eye with it.

Speaking of smokey eyes, check out the chocolate smokey eye tutorial from Spektra.net! You could easily pull off something similar with the MAC shadows above (though I'd suggest going easy on the iciness near the brow -- a bit too '90s -- and using the pinky shade in Word-of-Mouth instead).
