Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

Thanks Frieda Pinto! 2009 is officially the year of Bollywood glam, no doubt.

Transforming the sari palette into an array of summer colors is what Stila Cosmetics has done in its Indian Summer 2009 Collection.

Their 24 Karat Lip Gloss in Brilliant Pink is what I’m wearing — it’s a juicy, strawberry daiquiri color, with the slightest hint of gold shimmer which comes from actual gold leaf in the formula. And totally adorable is the real “bindi” stuck on the lid of the gloss — how super cute is that?!

The handy paint-brush like applicator makes it easy to control the amount of gloss you’re using, allowing for adjustable color. Vitamins A & C keep lips soft, not sticky.

With one twist, the shade can go from subtle to eyepopping and the high lustre shine is great for painting the town red.

Other items in the Stila Indian Summer Collection include the Charmed Palette Eyeshadows, and the Golden Noir smudge pots, both of which contain 24k gold.

Their Marigold Convertible Color Duo can be used to accent other colors from the collection. All items are under $30, so you can really feel like a slumdog millionaire.
