Stila’s Made in Your Shade is awesome, it’s a collection of six of Stila’s best complexion products  – each works great in its own right, but designed to work together to create that often unobtainable but always deeply valued goal – the flawless face.
Lets face it – even the hottest eye makeup exhibition ever looks like garbage without good skin.

Each item in the kit has different levels of coverage and  finishes – perfect since our skin’s needs change with time (and even times of the month!)
In the kit is:

- 0.07 oz Convertible Color
- 0.17 oz Natural Finish Oil-Free Makeup
- 0.24 oz Hydrating Primer SPF 15
- 0.24 oz Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer i
- 0.27 oz Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 i
- 0.17 oz Illuminating Liquid Foundation

However, it’s way too often easier said than done.

Amazing Cosmetics’ Refine and Finish comes in a sleek mirrored compact with my always-loved brush—making a flawless face surprisingly easy to achieve for the girl on-the-go.

Included is Velvet Mineral Foundation Pressed Powder, this is a lightweight mineral powder foundation that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and evens-out skintone.

Also in the kit is PowderSet, this is a fabulous but colorless setting powder – great for eliminating that shine I always get after being out for a few hours.  I love the slight shimmer effect as well – you’ll see what I mean when you try it!

The event wasn’t just a “preview” though: We also learned about their Product Prescription – basically, their list of the 10 best products for our complexions.

As someone who is ALWAYS fighting against a roller-coaster ride of good/bad skin, this part was the most interesting to me – and I look forward to trying each and every one of the products myself, in order to develop my own opinion!

So, here’s their list – feel free to comment back with your yay, nay, or other thoughts/opinions on any!

[...]it contains nature’s highest concentration of skin-saving antioxidants that repair collagen damage and strengthen the skin. Facialist to the stars, Ole Henriksen, loved the tea so much, he bottled it in his newest face and eye cream after clients raved about its skin-firming benefits, particularly around the eyes. “The great thing about African red tea is its ability to stimulate the cell turnover rate without causing any irritations. The result is firmer skin with a more refined texture and less visible pores,” says Henriksen. “It has an amazing ability to calm and soothe skin that’s prone to rashes and irritations, including rosacea, and really is a miracle ingredient for sensitive skin.”

In addition to calming irritated skin, it’s also said to be a wonder tonic for colicky babies and troubled tummies with its anti-spasmodic properties. From body aches to complexion pains, this wonder tea is sure to be your new health drink of choice. But thanks to Ole Henriksen, you won’t just be drinking it, you’ll be slathering it on like nobody’s business.

Ole Henriksen gives red tea a much bigger vote of confidence than Dr. Weil does, but again, Dr. Weil also said that there was not near the research on red tea as their has been on green tea. What we do know is that there isn’t much harm in giving it a try, and I am out of eye cream! You can buy Ole Henriksen Visual Truth Wrinkle Resistance Eye Creme at Sephora.com, for a pretty reasonable price of $45 for a .5 oz jar (I know, eye cream is expensive). Have any of you tried this?
