Stila Colour Me Glossy Lip Glaze Set (Photos and swatches)

Hello

If you are someone who have a long list of Christmas gifts to strike off, why not consider the Stila Colour Me Glossy Lip Glaze Set!

 
 
Taken from Sephora.com

A festive collection of nine Lip Glazes, packaged in three trios.  


To give or to keep? That is the question. Give this Lip Glaze collection in its entirety or break it apart and cross three names off your holiday list with individually packaged trios. As always, Stila's famed Lip Glaze delivers a glossy shine on lips with delicate flavors and scents. These iconic click pens are perfectly portable for a glistening pout anytime, anywhere.

- 0.45 oz x 9 Lip Glaze in Cranberry, Persimmon, Melon, Dazzleberry, Wildberry, Strawberry Cream, Passion Fruit, Kaleidoscope, Amaretto

Retails for USD$28 ($124 Value), that's a little over $3 per pen, full sized! What's convenient about this set, it is already individually packaged in 3 packs of 3. All you need to do is just write the receiver and giver name at the back! Great stocking stuffers! And I do not need to say how much these lipglazes are already loved by many.

So the question now, to give or to keep?

Retails at USD$59 (Value of $209), consisting of 16 lip products (4 Full Size) ranging from pinks, nudes, plums and reds, you can layer the products within the set or just wear them on its own. Each colour family has different types of lip products from lipglosses, lipstains and lipsticks.

Afraid of wearing loud and bold lips? Fret not as this set has a fair amount of sheer and opaque products within each colour family

Here are the swatches:

Nudes
Clockwise: Smashbox, Laura Mercier,
Buxom, Stila
 
With Stila being the most pigmented, I thought I was gonna dislike the Smashbox, but surprisingly, I like the way it looks when applied on my lips. As for Buxom and LM, they are still wearable and great for layering even though they are the sheerest out of all 16 of them.

Pinks
Clockwise: KVD, Smashbox,
Too Faced, Bare Minerals.
 
As much as I like the Smashbox from the nude family, I totally dislike thes Smashbox Lipgloss. It makes me look so ghostly and unflattering on my lips. The KVD was a little too dry on the lips but will work just find if you apply some gloss on top. It has the most matte finish and can look super "unnatural" and "chalky". With Too Faced being the least opaque from this group, my favourite will have to be the Bare Minerals. It glides on smoothly and a pretty wearable everyday pink.


Plums
Clockwise: Tarte, OCC'
Buxom, Stila
 
Perfect for fall, the plums are my most favourite. I love all four of them. From sheer (Stila) to opaque (BM) to all day staying power (OCC) to an everyday fall colour (Tarte), you cant go wrong.


Reds
Clockwise: Bite, MUFE,
KVD, Hourglass
 
These reds are also my favourites. I can have a 'BAM IN Your Face' red with the Hourglass or just a hint of red with the MUFE.

So there you have it!

All in all, this is a great set to give or receive as you get to try different brands, finishes and types of lippies. Great for lip junkies! You can also gift each colour family or pick a product from each colour family to 4 different people for a great stocking stuffers! Or just keep them all to yourself!

Have you got this on your Wishlist already?

LEts go to the Non Mu Related 1st...

Popoular Haul:

Netbook Sleeve @ $16 ( I wanted something to protect my e/s pallette coz hubs wen so rough wen he put my back down that one og the colours shattered n is beyond repairable. So im taking extra precaution this time...)

Clear plastic box @ $1.50 ( I nid something to store all  my lipliners.eyeliners n eyebrow pencil for class coz i always end up taking out everything from my bag to find a pencil so this is really useful for my school use.)

 

I havent been wearing lenses for almost a month due to eye infection from the previous brand i used n i dun like to wear my specs most of the time so hubs is sweet enuf to buy the lenses for me...

Freshkon Special promo pack...Isnt it cute..???

I got it in Warm Hazel (Dazzlers Series) & Shimmerring Grey (New Sparklers Series). I have already gotten the Warm Hazel but i have to wait 2weeks for the Shimmering Grey coz  u nid to pre order...

 

So i went to Muji in Ion to buy my cosmetic case to store all my tools for class...I dun have a proper case so i always end up digging my bag unpleasantly to find my things..Im also not into those kind of "metal" cosmetic case coz i find them bulky...SO i bought this Muji Case..Its very spacious n big too...

I dun know how to explain how big it is but if u girls want me to compare with something to roughly gauge how big it is,do let me know ya..Or u can juz pop by any Muji Store n check it out...

Finally....MAKE UP!!!!!!! YES MAKE UP....!!!!!!!!

Yes i hoped on the bandwagon too....I have not tried it yet but mayb soon..im pretty sure some of u have already tried this..I love the smell though..i tot of going down again to buy a few more bt the promotion is ending soon n i cant seem to get my lazy ass off the swing chair..(Smacking myself in the forehead...) But then again,i should try it out !1st...if its really good i dun mind paying the full price even though $12.90 is a much better number to look at...

Do u Girls feel that Ion is like a massive magnet???  i feel like there's a pulling force wen im in Ion coz i ended up in Sephora & Stage (S&S = Shopping Sin) U know wat i mean rite..??Hahaha..so yes..Sephora but i din not spent much der...Juz bought 2 items

Sephora Ultra Shine Lipgloss in No.32 @ $21 (Its like a hot pink shade with shimmers on it..)

Top: 01 Floral Flirtation @ $32.50 (UP $65)

Bottom: 02 Floral Frenzy @ $32.50 (UP $65)

So far i have 3 Stage e/s pallettes now...i totally love the packaging n pigmentation...im thinking of getting the rest of the pallette if they have specials again..i think they have about 5 pallettes in total...
