Read more for my first impression & swatches.
I received this Stila set as a gift from my friend for Christmas. I had previously purchased a Stila lipgloss set and I absolutely HATED it. The consistency was extremely sticky and the color pay off was bland. In other words, there was none. It was extremely sheer. Since I got this as a gift I decided to give them another try. There were certain colors that were vibrant just from the packaging and I was hoping once applied the color would be the same, or somewhat similar. Before I get into the swatches, lets get into the pros & cons of this set:
Pros:
-
Nice color pay off
-
They smell amazing
Cons:
-
The gloss tends to bust out the sides of the applicator.
-
Very messy.
-
A pain to twist just to get the product.
Here’s the swatches:
My personal favs:
-
Persimmon
-
Dazzleberry
-
Kaleidoscope
I agree about the stickiness. I tried it out in Sephora once and even in the store dealibg with the applicator was a mess!
Yeah that’s my biggest pet peeve with these. I was very surprised with the color pay off, but they’re not my go to lip glosses.
Try the Loreal lip caress lip stains, they are much cheaper, not sticky, keeps a shine, basically just perfect
Thanks for the recommendation. I’m always into trying new lippies.
