Love That Balm!
-05.19.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing
I absolutely love this product. I have a lot of the new color balms, but this is the best one I've tried. The balm glides on so smoothly, has a lot of color, and feels great on the lips. While it's not a long wearing balm, it definitely lasts longer than any others I have used. This shade, Vivienne is beautiful; it is such a natural color that would work on anyone.

I'm very big on lip gloss but was feeling a bit daring since I needed something different this summer. After great help from the girls at sephora I fell in love with Stila Color Balm Lipstick.it has gloss which I love but also feel of a balm.

Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, long wearing
This is a wonderful lipstick that stays on for long, has great pigmentation, and moisturizes without leaving a greasy/unpleasant residue. I bought this in the peachy pink, "Isla", and I absolutely love wearing this during daytime or when I want to look very fair, young, and pretty. One thing I'm not thrilled about is the pepper-minty smell, but it does minimize over time. Other than that, this is a solid lipstick.

Quick Take: too waxy feeling
I found this lipstick to be very waxy. It was more like a very excessive chap stick.

Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing
Love this lip color. Very pigmented and stays put. May not be quite as moisturizing as Sugar lip balms but if you want creamy lip color that stays, I would highly recommend.

-05.04.13
Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing, vibrant
I bought this in store after an associate recommended it to me. I told her I liked bright lips and pointed me right to this brand and color. It's a great choice! It's long lasting and has great pigment! I saw some comments saying it was drying, but I find it to be moisturizing. I don't feel it when it's on and the shade stays vibrant!

-05.02.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, long wearing, true to color
love the color and the feel of this lipstick it has a minty-ness to it that makes it very cooling. It also feels like it has a medicated properties in it because my lips even feel better after use, i usually have really dry lips and this helps. Plus as the color wears it still leaves lips pink loveeeeeeeee!!!!

Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing
I love how creamy it is. The color is bright and stays beautifully put for a couple hours leaving a lighter shade through the rest of the day. The freshness of the balm is amazing helps keep a fresh breath.

Big Disappointment
-04.30.13
Quick Take: drying
I was hoping this would be more like the Fresh Sugar or YSL Volupte Sheer Candy, but I couldn't be more disappointed. It goes on like a dried out glue stick, and the coral color I ordered looked quite horrendous and splotchy. If you're looking for a glossy, balm-like product, I recommend steering toward the two products I mentioned earlier. This one went back immediately.

Hint of Peppermint - Fun!
-04.30.13
Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing, smells great!
Goes on so smooth. Creamy lipstick with a hint of gloss. But wait .... it smells and tingles with a hint of pepermint. Love the packaging. The color of your lipstick is the color of the writing of STILA on the case.

Quick Take: long wearing, creamy, moisturizing, great colors
Evangeline is my 3rd color in this. I have Ali and Vivienne. Love them all. It's a decent balm, the pigment is decently strong, and it wears just as well as any other lipstick I've tried. The balm is what wins me.

LOVE this!!
-04.27.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing
I loved this balm so much I bought two! The color is a little deep for me, so I usually put on just a little bit, and then layer for a more dramatic look in the evening. Overall it is just enough color and it's very silky on my lips. Also natural looking with just a punch more color. Definite awesome buy, debating on getting a third..

The Most Perfect Thing Ever
-04.27.13
Quick Take: creamy, moisturizing, long wearing, perfection in a tube
This stuff is amazing. It is moisturizing, long wearing, doesn't feather and feels amazing when it's on. For fair skinned blondes or redheads who are shy about rocking a red lip, this is THE color for you! Buy it, wear it, love it. You won't regret it.
