Why does Japan get THE coolest Stila stuff? Fortunately my contact there was able to procure some exclusive Stila Barbie items for me. (Exclusive for now, anyway – you never know if the Japan-only Stila items will show up on beautycrunch.com, which in the past has gotten the CanCam palette and other Asia-exclusives, plus with Stila's dismal business outlook these might pop up elsewhere.)
Here is my haul – 2 eye shadow palettes, one of the shadow pots and one of the blush/highlighters:

Finally, because I bought so much I got the GWP – an adorable pink ruffly tote:
There were also a few more items – a cheek mousse pot and some cosmetic bags:

The pink dress print is cute, but from a design standpoint I think the black and white bathing suit print is better. I love that the interiors of the eye shadow palette and highlighters have a little surprise – one with a drawing of the 1959 Barbie and the other with hearts. The whole collection is happy and playful, which is right on target for Barbie!
