Swatches: Stila Lipsticks

L-R: Guinevere, Natasha, Sarah

These Stila lipsticks are my go to lip colours in hot weather because they're not sticky like a gloss, but they're still quite sheer and summery. I believe these have been discontinued - I know you can't get them on the Stila website - but they're still easily found on sites like Strawberrynet, ACW and Smart Poppy.



L-R: Guinevere, Natasha, Sarah


Guinevere and Natasha are High Shine Lipsticks, and Sarah is a Shine Lipstick. Sarah doesn't have the glitter of the other two. They all have a lightly fruity scent that doesn't linger (thankfully), and they apply nicely, though Natasha is slightly gritty given the amount of glitter in it. Lasting power is... I don't know. Lipsticks never last on me - the day I get a lipstick that lasts more than an hour on my lips is the day I'll know a miracle has truly occurred. They have better staying power than a gloss, not as long as a full colour lipstick.

  3. They are all beautiful. I don't own any Stila lipsticks, I don't know how that's possible.
