Stila has an adorable long wearing lip stick that comes in a really cute pencil-like applicator. This lippie gives color like a stick and sheen like a gloss. What's not to love? It even claims to be long wearing, thanks to patent-pending polymers. But can a color this light, with this much sheen really be long wearing? On a good day, I would give a similar color no more than thirty to sixty minutes. Can this color stay true for longer than one hour?
(Stila Long Wearing Lip Color in Darling)I applied this color at 4:30pm. I worked with an editor, chatted on the phone, debated the importance of American Apparel clothing and checked in on Dog Lover199709 to see what she has been up to. I checked it at 5:30, right before I left work. Here is what was left.
Not much. I suppose that means this color officially lasts for about an hour. My lips till looked slightly shiny and moisturized, but the color is all but gone. So I guess the success depends on how you define long wearing. This is a really light color. Perhaps a darker color would last longer? I do like how hydrating it is compared to other long wearing lip colors. I just can't say it impressed me with it's long wear.
I suppose I am left with no choice but to say that this lip stick doesn't live up to it's long wearing claims. I do like it perfectly fine for a regular sheer lip color, but they had to put a claim in their name, which makes this a FAIL.
Have you tried this lip stick? Did a darker color fair better? Tell me in the comments!
I spent 20 minutes trying to find a parking spot to lay down my own cash to buy this product.
