Stila After Glow Lip Colour in Festive Fuschia

It's not usual that I get a product, put it on & instantly want to review it. But there's a first for everything. Thursday night, I arrived home to my prize from Sarah of Rara Giggles' give away - A Stila After glow Lip Colour!

Two things I want from lip products are a decent colour, and good wear time. Everything else tends to be a bonus. So, the nice sleek packaging - All good. I like lip products in a crayon form, because I think the bullet wears down evenly (Is this a thing? Some of my lipsticks seem to end up being really pointy!) & It's pretty handy just to throw in your bag. The black with pink writing is different to the norm, so I approve! It twists up too, which I prefer to a sharpener.

But, no good having a pretty product if you don't like it. first up - I adore the colour. Pinks are my thing. Particularly a well-pigmented deep or bright pink. And this delivers! Sarah couldn't have sent me a more perfect colour. Even though it is quite bright, I have no problem wearing even neon pinks during the day, so this is definitely going to become my go-to lip product! Plus - the niche of these is that under UV lights,they GLOW IN THE DARK. I have not yet tested this out but I most definitely will. For the craic.

Other than the colour, it definitely lasts well. It is glossy, but (like most lip crayons) stains the lips. However, I've found that the glossiness & top layer of product actually hang around for quite a long time! Obviously eating/ drinking reduces the shine, but you don't have to worry about it disappearing quickly. Because it's glossy, it's also fairly moisturising & won't highlight any small lip problems.

Have I sold it? I actually may possibly be in love. For around €16 on Asos, I am most definitely willing to pay the price for one of the nicest colours I've seen in lip crayons.

Stila Black Cherry

Hi guys!



Last Friday I showed you all the Stila Lip Glaze set I picked up, with promises of individual swatches. So first up, the shade that really appealed to me: Black Cherry. I've wanted to try out some new, deeper shades for my lips and what better way to start than with a lipgloss?

Black Cherry is second from left.

Applied on its own, Black Cherry adds a berry tinge to the lips, or can darker up any lipstick. Wear time is average - It lasts for a few hours depending on what you're putting it through! I have found it to be a little sticky though, though nothing near the stickyness of something like Soap & Glory Motherpucker.

Adds a dark tinge to lips.

Not too obvious on the face.

Black Cherry is a permanent shade of Lip Glaze so you can pick it up from any stockist; such as Harvey Nichols or online, for around €13.50. Maybe a little expensive but there's always deals to be had!

Do you prefer dark, bright or neutral colours?
