Love at first kiss - Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

I have been a Stila convert for just over a year now and cannot recommend this make up range enough (read my previous reviews of the eye and cheek palettes and metallic liquid eyeshadows). I have been converting much of my make up routine to Stila one piece at a time but the one item in particular that I have fallen in love with, well and truly, is the Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick.

It's got quite a following and it's easy to see why; there's a vast array of colours to choose from, it's easy to apply and the colour is pigmented and really has staying power.

As you can see, I have built quite the collection...

In fact, this isn't my whole collection...!

They have a range of beautiful nude shades, from true nude to peachy, brown and pink nude tones, as well as bold colours from pillar box red to fuscia pink.

Shades well worth checking out are Baci ( a purple/pink nude hue), Caramello (the perfect mid nude shade) and Biscotti (a deep shade that gives you a nude take on a gothic style look). Then there's Angelo (a peachy nude shade new for spring) and Patina for a mute pink finish... too many to choose from! And there's the Gliteratti top coat to add a shimmer to any shade, for a day to night look, that's a great addition to any make up bag.

For me, I love my lippie but I don't like having to keep an eye on it, topping up every hour. With this, you're good to go for a few hours and I find it's only the centre of the lip that needs a reapplication after eating lunch, for example.

There's various gift sets to pick up so you can try out a few shades in a mini version first, then the full size liquid lipsticks are priced at £16 and can be bought online from Stila or in selected Boots, M&S and Harvey Nichols stores.

I hope they add more shades soon... can never have too many lipsticks!
