Stila's Mandarin Mist Collection Is a Yummy Nod to the Orient! LA-Story Make Mine Mandarin Please Blog
Stila’s Mandarin Mist Collection is more than just a color collection and it’s a step out there for even Jeannine Lobell. It’s fun, flirty and feminine — yet sexy and scented–meaning there’s a fragrance paired with the cosmetics.
Mandarin Mist is a light refreshing scent that will be perfect for summer days and nights and even Indian summer (and if it lasts long enough, next spring. If you like it, buy 2!) Key notes are mimosa and yuzu fruit and it’s a great scent for those who want light scents or for the teens and older. At $36.00, it’s affordable and would make a great gift!
Stila WARM Baked Shadow Trio
Stila COOL Baked Shadow Trio
Love the Mandarin Mist Baked Eye Shadow Trios . Each ROUND pot is like a pod and features a trio of colors that are easily accessible and could be used as a solo color with the lightest tone or used as a duo with the lightest/medium or lightest/dark tone as contour or even use the contour as a smudgey liner. LOVE the colors– both the cool which is a more taupe presentation and the warm which is a warm bronze/peach combo are gorgeous and would work on anyone . Each one is luminous in finish and I find that they really last well if applied over a liquid concealer or a liquid shadow base. For $24.00, it’s a real steal (a…. sorry, couldn’t resist that one!)
The Mandarin Mist Baked Cheek Duo is a great deal and the bronzer shade is perfect for summer (or lightly contouring) and the peach shade doubles as a blush and slightly irridescent highlighter. Pair it with the COOL Shadow Trio for a pop of color on the eye. It’s really pretty, light and sheer. It would work for all but the most olive and dark skin tones.
Retailing at $24.00, it’s a bargain and would last you a while to use it up–providing you don’t drop it!
Head off to Sephora, Nordstrom, Sephora.com or Stila.com to get something from this collection. Pair up the Shadow Trio with a clean liquid liner for a cats-eye effect or go deep into lashes with a kohl pencil in an ambery or bronzy shade for a smokey look.
See you at the Stila Counter!
