Stila Sparkle Luxe Gloss for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

Stila Sparkle Luxe Glosses are new this spring and come in four shimmery, shiny shades.

These super sparkly (gee how many “s’s” can I get into one post intro?) glosses are really smooth and nice feeling. I found these to be fairly sticky-free, which is most excellent! The iridescent pearl shimmer is ultra fine, and doesn’t feel chunky or gritty. They are infused with camellia oil and Vitamin E to help provide moisture, and are decently pigmented.

Tiara, Fairy Dust, Bling

Tiara is a pale blue-based pink with blue and green pearl. I absolutely love the pearl shimmer in this one but don’t love the way the color settles into lip lines. This is pretty nicely pigmented, and I would still wear the hell out of it despite its  flaws.

Fairy Dust is a peach color with mostly pink and orange pearl. I love this one, probably my fav. The color doesn’t settle into lip lines, it’s nicely pigmented, and doesn’t look like just a clear gloss with pearl sparkles.

Bling is a strawberry pink with pink and silver pearl. This was the least pigmented one I tried, but still very glossy and you can see the shimmery pearl pretty well.

Overall:

I like them! I love a super shimmery and glossy gloss that doesn’t feel super sticky. I FULLY expected these to be uncomfortable, but for me they felt pretty good. They lasted a couple hours before I felt the need to do a touch-up, which is pretty standard for me. I do wish Tiara didn’t settle into lip lines as much, and would have liked Bling to be more pigmented. I also wish they were more in the $15.00 range…
