Jill Stuart's Spring 2011 Collection - Innocent Sexy
Jill Stuart sure knows how to make super girly, sweet, and princess-y products - This upcoming Spring, she's rolling out a line that is lovely & elegant with colors that are feminine and delicate.
♥ New Blush Blossom duo* - Blush Blossom in Little Anemone ♥
(Anemone is a type of flower as well as the type you find underwater :D)
Image from http://www.fiftyflowers.comI absolutely ♥ the ornate detailing on the compact casing and the included goat-hair brush with the PINK Swarovski crystal and little bow charm!
It comes as a loose powder that can be swirled together or used separately to create depth
This color is described as a "cute foggy pink combined with a girly anemone pink"
"Like the gentle blossoming of a wreath of pink flowers.
Loose powder cheek color that brings both innocence and luster to your cheeks"

♥ New Mix blush in Milky Strawberry ♥
"Quad powder blush with pure luster. Blends smoothly and adds a touch of soft color to your cheeks"
I'm excited to try this - I have actually heard that Jill Stuart blushes are very subtle with buildable color - I'm trying to prep myself for initial shock as I know they are not nearly as pigmented as MAC or NARS. If this one works out, I think I may try the Baby blush (01) and Fresh Apricot (06)
Top two colors look like a pinky highlighter & bottom two are a warm pinky-peach
Described as a "sweet and fluffy milky pink, reminiscent of strawberry milk"
(I like that...fluffy pink!)

I'm so excited for my first Jill Stuart Experience! I will be doing some reviews/swatches once I receive my order. (I picked up the blushes!) :)
In Hong Kong, the line will officially launch on January 10th, 2011
Are you planning on picking up anything from the Spring Collection?
