It seems like only yesterday that Barbie loved M.A.C. Now it apparently has transferred the love to Stila
I wished I was joking, but no. This came in my inbox this morning (or probably last night, I’m not sure). It says on the site that Stila is the official Barbie makeup partner for 2009 (which also happened to be Barbie’s 50th year). So… they’re probably making this a yearly thing. I wonder how Barbie Loves Smashbox would look like hee-hee.
You could buy the collection as a set, which I think gives one some sort of a Barbie retrospective. Each one comes with its corresponding doll, after all, reflecting the beauty from that particular era.
1959 #1 PONYTAIL DOLL
STRIKING & GLAMOROUS
The original Barbie® doll wore the famous black and white striped bathing suit. Striking red lips and black-rimmed cat eyes made this doll the epitome of 1950s glamour!
1971 MALIBU DOLL
FRESH & SUN-KISSED
Malibu Barbie® doll debuted in an aqua bathing suit, groovy sunglasses, and an L.A. tan! A sunny beach look featuring aqua shadow and pink lips made this doll the epitome of 1970s fresh, natural beauty!
1980 FOXY DOLL
BOLD & STUNNING
Foxy Barbie® doll made the scene in a hot red outfit with golden accents and big earrings. A warm, sultry look featuring red lipstick and earth-toned shadow made this doll the epitome of bold 1980s glamour!
2000 JEWEL DOLL
PRETTY & SASSY
Trendy and glamorous, Jewel Girl™ began the year 2000 with fresh style. A hip, sparkly look featuring blue shadow, shimmery pink lips, and faux gems made this doll the epitome of pretty in the new millennium!
And might I add, they also have a palette. A talking one at that:
Barbie Loves Stila Talking Palette features four pretty in pink (and purple) wet/dry eye shadows that create the classic Barbie eye look, and literally talks you through every step of easy application.
It also includes an insert card with instructions on step-by-step makeup application, and information on Barbie through the decades.
Palette includes shadows in cool pink shimmer (base), bright lilac with gold sparkle (lid), deep pink (crease), and dark purple with blue sparkle (liner).
Personally the 1959 (#1 Ponytail Doll) and the 1980 (Foxy Doll) collections appeal to me more. The old-skool doll looks so vintage and the foxy doll looks a lot of fun. Other than that… I don’t really know what to feel about it. But hey, if it floats your boat, why not?
If you happen to have loads of dough and you have a way to have items shipped from Sephora to where you are, then have a go at it and go get some goodies from the Barbie Loves Stila Collection
