stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Venezia

I received the stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Venezia in my latest Birchbox. Man was I ever excited to try this out! I did tell y’all that I’m on a bit of a liquid lipstick kick, right? I was really hoping to get one of the newer Summer shades and I got lucky! Too bad Como wasn’t included in the trio. That’s the one I really wanted. Venezia was a VERY close second though!
Venezia is described as a bright red. Outside it really does look red. Indoors it looks like a completely different shade. It smells like vanilla extract, but the scent isn’t strong and you don’t even notice it once applied. It applied perfectly! The texture was nice and creamy and made for a nice smooth application. Once it set it was perfection! They sure got the stay all day part right. Because after eating and drinking this bad boy was still going strong! It did fade a bit, but the color was still vibrant. Even when I wiped it off at the end of the day it left behind a slight stain. The only downside is that it’s really drying. It claims to keep lips soft and hydrated, but I didn’t find that to be the case. Because of that it did feel a little uncomfortable. However, I really don’t mind. It applied nicely and lasted all day. And it’s a beautiful shade! I’m going to go ahead and say it’s a keeper. While I might reach for my more comfortable liquid lipsticks over this one, I won’t dare neglect it. There’s a place for Venezia in my heart!
I might have to go ahead and purchase Como now!
The shade is absolutely gorgeous but I’m not liking the drying part. My lips are very dry as they are and this would probably sent my lips into cracking hell.

Yeah I hear that! If it wasn’t for the drying part it would be damn near perfect! Can’t win ’em all! lol
I gave away a deluxe sample I had in this formula (the shade Beso, I believe) to my cousin who loves it. I so regretted it afterwards…because I’d never tried it myself. Hehe. She says its so long wearing and she gets compliments on it all of the time. I should probably eventually try one myself sooner rather than later. x

Awww I hate when that happens! I’ve given some great things away and later regretted it lol. At least your cousin liked it though! I got a few compliments myself. My husband kept saying it was a really pretty shade. If you ever do get one, be sure to prep your lips beforehand. Not that even that helped me much. It was still very drying. Did your cousin mention of Beso was drying at all?
It seems we always have to chose between hydration and lasting power *sigh* The struggle!

You’re so right!
I feel like this Stila liquid lipstick doesn’t get much buzz, am I wrong? I never read about it!
Anyways, I can’t do drying lipsticks, my lips are already a dry mess despite constant balm application :(

You know… I really don’t hear much about them. But then again they don’t have nearly as many color selections as other brands. That could be it? I hear you on the drying though. It can be uncomfortable!
That’s a fab shade on your skin tone! I’ve haven’t tried much outside of eye liners when it comes to Stila. I’ll have to take more of a look. :)

Thank you, Amanda! :) I haven’t tried much from stila either. I think I have like 2 of their products and this sample is one of them.
I wonder if the formulation has changed at all or just the packaging? I have the old version (not in this color) and I love the few colors that I have! They are SO long-lasting just like you said but yeah, a bit drying towards the end of wear. Venezia is SO your color! Love!
Thank you, Jaa! :) I wouldn’t know much about formula as this is one of the only products of theirs I’ve ever tried. I really do appreciate the staying power though.
Such a pretty color!

Thank you, Carly! :)
Looks so gorgeous on you! <3 I really love that colour. Guess it's a good heavy duty liquid lippie.

Ah heavy duty! Now that’s a great way to describe this one! Thanks, Zovesta! <3
This shade looks gorgeous on you! I’ve heard only great things about these Stila liquid lipsticks, must get my hands on one of them. x

Thank you! :) There are a few really pretty shades! I’d like to try more myself.
That is a beautiful shade on you. I’ve never tried Stila actually – another for the wishlist! x
