happy early valentine's day stila fans!!!  we hope you have fun celebrating this flirty holiday.  whatever you choose to do, make your makeup a big part of this occasion.  here are some fun ideas to help you select a look for the special day...

sarah receives lots of emails from stila fans like you, and one of the top asked questions is, "how can I make my eyes look bigger?" your eyes are a key feature on your face - arguably the most important. therefore, the bigger and better they look, the more beautiful you will look each day. fortunately, you don't need to be a pro to enhance your eyes. instead just follow these simples guidelines.

use a shimmery shadow in your lid to pop and open up your eyes. the smaller the eye shape, the lighter the color. and for the most natural look, select the shade closest to your skin tone.

apply a matte shadow slightly above the crease to contour. when you apply it above the crease, it visually lifts the eye. try keeping your eye open when you do this and avoid a banana looking stripe. the contour should be subtle.

coat extra mascara in the right areas. for many people adding more coats to the center eyelashes will achieve that doe eyed look, helping to make the eyes look bigger and less slanted. try it!

the pro team was on the set yesterday gearing up for summer.  good thing we are getting ready now - the groundhog did see his shadow on wednesday.  these products might come in handy sooner rather than later!  we had a blast using them and we know you will love them too!  stay tuned...

we are unbelievably excited about the launch of these new liners...

stila is gearing up for new york fashion week! flights have been booked, hotel reservations have been made, and the schedule is set. in the meantime we are busy making sure we have all the makeup and supplies we need for each show! this is a fun and overwhelming process. after all, we don't want to show up to fashion week without the new prime pots! that would be tragic! haha. in addition to all of the makeup we need, we also bring tons of supplies. yesterday we went to one of our favorite makeup stores in LA to make sure we were completely prepared. naimies is a one stop shop and amazing for any beauty junkie. they even carry stila!

here are some of our top supplies:

eyelash curlers
ardell eyelashes
face wipes
hand wipes
eye drops
lip balm
tissue
q tips
beauty blenders
makeup remover
elizabeth arden 8 hr cream
small scissors
mascara wands

we've probably left a few items out!!! good thing there's a rickys beauty on almost every corner of NYC! haha. what makeup supplies do you rely on?

we are big fans of the americana mall in glendale, ca - it is very close to our corporate offices.  so it makes sense that we were thrilled that a sephora opened at this fun location.  in fact, we even celebrated the grand opening with an office field trip to the new sephora on!  it's amazing.  we love sephora.  if you are looking for one in your area to help you shop for you stila goods, check out the store locator on our website.

happy tuesday stila fans!!!
