R.I.P Stila

Dear Stila,
Thank you for bringing us wonderful treats for so many years, you will be sorely missed. The bad economy may have robbed you of your life, but you will live forvever in our hearts.

In 2001 a bright eyed excited 16 year old girl went to Holt Renfrew in Toronto and tried your eyeshadow in "Mystic." It was a light, shimmery sky blue in your signature silver cardboard packaging, and it was beautiful. You were my first ever $30 eyeshadow, and from that moment on I was hooked. I still to this day have never worn that eyeshadow, it is too pretty. I often get it out and stare at it, swirl my finger wistfully in the silky pot, relishing in its untouched perfection. Your smudge pots are so delightfully smudgy yet precise, you brought my smoky bedroom eyes to new heights. Oh and your lip glaze with that convenient clicky pen...I will be forever dreaming of the creamy apricot shade...the perfect nude. And don't even get me started on Kitten eyeshadow...it hurts too much....sigh.

Rest in peace. I will never forget you.

Love Lizzie xoxo
