Spotlight On: Stila Lip Glaze

Stila Lip Glaze in Brown Sugar

Stila is a brand I've often liked from afar, reading about much coveted products such as the infamous 'Kitten' eyeshadow, and the temptingly named Lip Glazes. Aside from trying some of their eyeshadows and 'It Gloss' glosses {for a bargain price}, the range hasn't really been on my radar a great deal.

 The Lip Glaze you can see photographed here is the shade Brown Sugar {19}, a brown toned lipgloss shot through with golden shimmer particles. On the lips it transforms to a light reflecting muted red toned brown. It's an incredibly wearable shade, with a lovely smooth formulation and glossy appearance - plus it's not too sticky. The product is dispensed into the brush applicator by twisting the end of the tube, and all I will say is twist with caution - if you get a little over zealous you'll have a lot of product to apply! As for the actual application of the brush, I prefer it to a standard doe-foot wand, it allows for a more natural finish and blends the product evenly over the lips. The gloss itself feels of good quality and has surprisingly good longevity, although I'm not overly enamoured with the plastic packaging, it doesn't feel very sturdy.

Natural light, with flash. I do apologise for my horrible spotty chin - I thought skin got good in your mid twenties?!

This is the perfect type of lipgloss to throw in your bag for touch ups throughout the day, and for an effortless, low key but polished look. I'm definitely very interested in trying out more of the Stila Lip Glazes, I'm thinking a pale peachy/pink for Spring/Summer would be lovely...!

Stila Lip Glazes retail at £15 for 2.4ml, a little pricey but I do actually think it's worth it - what's even better is that the Stila website offers free shipping in the UK, great if you can't get hold of it near you.
