Ummmmm....no. Why would you think that? I was just calling to confirm for myself. Sometimes customer service is wrong.

The cans are so super cute! I'm a sucker for cute packaging ...and Stila...and I really must own these. At the very least I feel like I HAVE to get Malibu since I was born in '71.

i FINALLY got my order from sephora today (malibu & jewel barbie cans) and I have to say I a little disappointed. Maybe it's because I've been so excited for over a week waiting for it. I'm putting it away for a few hours & then looking at it again. Maybe I'll feel better about it then.

I'm the exact opposite. I got the Malibu can & I really like it. But I had really low expectations, lol, maybe thats why I'm not disappointed.
I'd take pics, but I pulled my back & I'm stuck on the couch.

The can is smaller that a real paint can...guessing I'd say its about 7" high & about 6-7" wide. I feel like the colors in the trio have decent payoff & Barbie is on the cover of it so its cute. I liked the bronzer & also tried it on my eyes & thought it was pretty. The lipgloss is very light so it doesn't show up too well on my pigmented lips, but it smells & feels very nice. I didn't use the mascara cause I had also bough Dior Iconic & was dying to use it...and OMG that stuff is amazing, I will use it until the day I die, everyone should get it!!! As I said, I wasn't expecting to get any use out of it so I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I liked eveything. If you break it down I would pay $20 for the palette, $10 for the can cause its cute & $10 for the lipgloss & mascara, so I don't mind shelling out the $40. I'm glad I only got the one I liked the most. I wouldn't need anymore besides this one. If I had bought all for & spend $120 I would have kicked myself though, lol. HTH!

EDIT...OK, I'm a bad quesstimator...the can is 5" tall & 4.5" wide

Ok I feel a little better. I think my expectations were just too high. I am happy with all the colors in the Jewel Barbie can. At first I though they snuck yet another kitten eyeshadow in there, but comparing them side by side they are different.

The 2 eyeshadows in the Malibu Barbie kit are really nice but the Bronzer is YUCK. It's really shimmery & really ORANGE. There is no way I can use this as a bronzer w/o looking like an oomp loompa. I'm thinking maybe I can use it as an eyeshadow? The lip glaze, while a very pretty pale peachy pink in the tube does not show up on my pigmented lips at all.

Don't get me wrong, I like both the kits, I'm just not totally over the moon for them like I thought I'd be. The packaging is really cute it is SO literal. I liked the Barbie loves MAC packing much better as it looked kind of cool and updated and this looks a little on the childish side (especially the Jewel one-- At least the 3 other cans have a nice kitschy retro vibe to them.)

Worth having if you love Barbie & love stila (which I do). But someone lukewarm on either side of this equation may be a bit let down.

The only stuff from this collection that I like are the Asian exclusives. I'm praying for someone to put them up on eBay!

I went and got the smokey pallet yesterday and I am returning it today the shadows are way to chalky I just can't work with them at all.

I think it is the lid colour that kills it most chalky and zero colour pay off. I find any shadows that shimmer with stila go on like butter but everything else is a chalk nightmare.

UDPP was used as a base.

You can see the chalkyness just from swatching.
