Can you recommend some of their best or must have or try products. A pinkish blush? (NC35-40) And pinkish or natural Lipglass ? = ) Thankyou

Brush #21
I just can't get the knack of it; when I contour with it, it leaves too sharp a line. Any thoughts?
Thanks a million,
Laura

trisha, It's so nice of you to offer to do this!
I'm wondering if you could tell me something about Stila's "online only" e/s colors. I know that the stila website does say whether an e/s is a shimmer or a matte , but I find that there is a vast difference from one Stila shimmer shadow to the next (in texture, amount of shimmer, etc.)
My favorite Stila e/s are oasis, kitten, wheat, moonlight and starlight. (because they are very shimmery and very soft). So I would like to know which of the "online only" colors have a similar texture and shimmer to my fav stila shadows. (by "online only" I mean shades like clover, lake, peach, seafoam, etc. that, as far as I know, can't be purchased in-store). Thank you to anyone who can help me!!

I'd also recc the Pivotal Skin and IPF (Illuminating Powder Foundation). Both of these are HGs! I also have the ILF, but find I have to mix in something else (I use Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector) or else it can still be a tad cakey on my dry skin. The Pivotal skin is never cakey, and is sheer but is so amazingly buildable that you can layer it for more coverage. And its so blendable that you really can use it just on areas that need it. The IPF is amazing for a powder foundation - it NEVER cakes, even on my dry skin. I use it by itself most days, and it looks like no makeup, just even skin. Over the Pivotal Skin it gives a beautiful finish

Here are some of my fave pinkish blushes
* Convertible colours are cream blushes that give a natural, dewy glow. Lillium is a gorgeous peachy-pink and Gerbera a pinky-peach - these two are my go to cream blushes. Others you might like are Petunia, a more vivid pink, and Peony, a rosy-pinky-brown
* Rouge pots are great mousse-like cream blush, and may be better for combo skin than the CC's. Lotus is a very pretty nudey-mauvey-pink, gives a lovely natural and sweet flush. Water lily is similar to Lotus but more nude-pink, no mauve, and Amaryllis is similar to water lily but warmer, with a touch of terracota colour to it. Jasmine is a gorgeous vivid pink with a touch of sheen to it.
* Powder blushes. Tutu is a gorgeous peachy pink, and one of my fave everyday blushes. Quaint is also a pinky peach, but a bit darker than tutu and with subtle shimmer. Hint is a nudey-pink, great for a subtle, natural blush. Bloom is a gorgeous brighter pink, and Rose is, well, a rosey-pink with subtle shimmer.
Another one to consider, if you can find it, is the Pink Glow blush duo. It has a gorgeous sweet pink and a pinky-bronzey-mauve, with shimmer. They're very pigmented so you only need a little bit.

This might be a strange question for you...but I'm planning to go to a CCO today and I have NO Stila in my collection. Anything in particular, any d/c great items I should be on the lookout for?

i don't think you'll find much inthe way of stila at any CCO cause they are no longer carried by/owned by Estee Lauder....of course we got a CCO here (finally!) AFTER stila was sold.....
