Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick: Fiery, Besos, Amore

Hello!

First I must say Stila is a brand I have often heard of but never really paid attention to and it has been my loss all this time. This particular product is AMAZING. If you don't like the feel of lipstick but want a lipcolor with high color pay off and durability then this is the product for you. Extra bonus: is it doesn't leave your lips feeling dry.

First up: "Fiery"







Second: "Besos"



"Besos" on the left, "fiery" on the right. They almost look the same but Besos is a brighter red:




Last but not least: "Amore"


Left to Right: "Amore", "besos", "Fiery"

As someone who prefers matte lipcolors I am completely happy with each of these colors and this product in general. Oh i forgot to mention, they smell like chocolate! :)

Ciao~

NARS "Persia" Eyeshadow



This is a gorgeous shade, one that i am not used to wearing so i will have to figure out how to wear it.


I believe this is what you would call a burnt orange shade, which is very complimentary on brown girls.


I piled it on and blended it out on my hand and it looks amazing if i do say so myself. It can be applied to give subtle color or built up on to stand out. 

Either way I can't wait to put together a look with it.

China Glaze "Starboard" Nail Polish Swatches


Hello!

Without much ado, here is one of my fave summer colors to wear:




I LOVE LOVE LOVE this deep green color, and it is a breeze to apply. This is two coats of polish:


Nice even application due to China Glaze's creamy texture. This is going to be on my nails for a couple of days :)

Stila Color Balm Lipstick - Ali

Hello! 

I actually bought this product on a whim as i was searching for swatches of "Besos" (a completely different Stila lip product). I saw a swatch somewhere and thought it was a pretty and subtle color. 


And i was right. First, it has a minty smell which is very subtle but pleasant. Much better than the cosmeticy smell other brands sometimes have. It goes on very smooth, and has a feel and texture of lipbalm moreso than lipstick; very light and moisturizing with a ever so slight tingle (probably the mint).


As you can see in the above swatch it has very good color pay off, it really looks (and is) a moisturizing lipstick swatch.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase and will be buying more!

Thanks for reading :)
