Audio Moblog–Blooming in Beauty with Stila's Midnight Bloom
powered by Audioblog.com
HI! Hope you had a chance to listen to the podcast, but if not, I am here to give you the high notes and the "down low" on what’s hot at the beauty counter. This week it’s Stila’s Midnight Bloom Collection. Say the word Stila and most women will know exactly what you are talking about: the eponymous cosmetic line from cosmetic wizard and make-up artist extraordinare, Jeanine Lobell. Her line is known for great packaging and innovative products. Not resting on her laurels in creating lip, cheek and eye colors, Lobell branched out to fragrances and body products.
Her latest creation is Midnight Bloom, her new Eau de Parfum fragrance that is reminiscent of a walk at night in the deep South with the sultry aromas of gardenia mixed with rich and creamy white flowers still warm with the heat of the day and giving off the heady scent. Mix in soft green notes of sweet fig and underscore the blend with sexy sandalwood and golden amber and you have an exotic and bewitching brew!
(1.7 oz EDP $50)
Lobell doesn’t do things half-way and so she created a cosmetic collection to coordinate with the sexy Midnight Bloom fragrance. The Midnight Bloom Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette is a trio of pretty colors to complement the essence of the fragrance. A dark navy satin compact holds a trio of shades:
1) an iridescent pink base to be used as a wash across the eye ( use the #9 brush);
2) a bronzy plum crease shade that creates a delectable smoky eye as well. (For crease work, choose the #15 brush and blend carefully on the edges); and
3) a smoky midnight blue liner to define the eye (the #4 brush creates the smudged smoky look) or to be used alone with the pink shadow.
The compact includes a mirror for near-effortless application. ($32)
Don’t forget the black mascara either! For a bit of nighttime sparkle with Moonlit All Over Shimmer Shade over the liner and lid. ($14)
Balance off the cheeks with the Lillium Convertible Color, a lush peachy pink cream color and blend well. ( These two products are part of the regular Stila collection)
For lovely lips, choose the Midnight Bloom Lip Glaze Double with the new shade: Midnight Bloom with it’s fig scented, universal pink tone with a touch of sparkle which is paired with Berry, the near perfect color for everyone. ($10)
Find the Midnight Bloom Palette and Lip Glaze Duo exclusively in Sephora stores, Sephora.com and Cosmetics.com
Make sure you hit that counter soon because this cosmetic collection is going fast though the fragrance will be around, it’s flying out the doors as well. Snag a bottle (or two.. great for gifts!) and have a blast playing with the new colors and this amazing new fragrance
See you at the beauty counter!
