PRODUCT REVIEWS
Stila Crème Bouquet collection
report by Debbie of the Cosmetic Connection Product Panel

Lip Glaze Crème Bouquet ($24)
I am a little late to the world of Stila. It strikes me as a line geared more for 20-30 year olds. The marketing and and packaging is definitely eye catching, I will say, but does that really justify the prices??

What I like about Stila's lip glaze is the easy application in a pen form - you just twist and you have product. It couldn't be easier to apply. It has a lovely hint of vanilla for this slightly sticky, very sheer peach/nude high shine gloss. It gives a nice compliment to any lipstick or, if you prefer the "natural" look, then by all means wear by itself.

What I don't like is the price of $24! Too much for the amount of product they give you which if you used every day, would probably take you less than a month - heck, maybe only 2 weeks?!.

If you love gloss and Stila, and money is no object, then you can purchase at Sephora.com or Gloss.com. (Avon has the same thing for less than half that price.)

Crème Bouquet color trio ($28)
This is a round container that fits nicely anywhere and has three products within, half the container is a natural pink blush and the other two quarters consist of one white frost eyeshadow and a grape/violet eyeshadow. While the pink blush and white frost colors worked for me, the grape/violet wasn't quite my color. This trio is definitely for cool tones. The lasting ability of all three is good, but I did find the texture a bit drier in the eyeshadows than their Bohemian trios, which are creamier and softer. The packaging is cute and definitely would appeal to the younger crowd.

The Crème Bouquet line is only available at Sephora.com.
