I saw this amazing Stila gift set in Mecca Maxima and when I went back to get them they were sold out! I searched online and was lucky enough to get them sent over from Beautybay.
As you can see, the set consists of nine lip glazes and them come in three packets of three.
Now some of these appear to be limited edition colours as I cannot see all of them on the Mecca Costmetica website or Beautybay, but some are still available. They also have a whole bunch of other colours.
Below I've swatched the colours on the inside of my arm and then on my lips. You will notice the colours are somewhat different on my skin to what they are on my lips. Also, keep in mind that not everybody has the same shade lips so these colours will vary on everyone.
Some of the colours are quite pigmented and some very sheer. In my personal opinion, most of these would be best used as a gloss over the top of a lipstick. Also, they are slightly tacky. Not as sticky as some but certainly tacky.
They also have a very slight hint of a fruity scent but don't worry, it's not overpowering.
The first set of three are Melon, Persimmon and Cranberry.
PS. despite some of the photos, I don't have a hairy top lip!
Melon is a nice peachy pink (not bright orange as it appears above)!
Persimmon is a fairly strong orange red and fairly pigmented.
Cranberry is a lovely and fairly sheer darker redish brown.
The second set of three are Strawberry Cream, Wildberry and Dazzleberry.
Strawberry Cream is a pale pink with the slightest shimmer through it.
Wildberry is a sheer pinkish rose in colour.
Dazzleberry is just stunning and this photo does not do it justice. It's a deep almost claret colour with a gorgeous metallic shimmer through it.
Set three are Kaleidoscope, Passionfruit and Amaretto.
Kaleidoscope again is far better in real life than in the photo. It's a sheer pink that's full of amazing sparkly glitter. Really pretty and amazing in the sunlight.
Passionfruit is a lovely neutral pink that would look amazing as a gloss over lipstick.
Amaretto, my personal favourite, is a true nude (not quite as pink as is showing in this photo) and would look great over a lipstick or lovely on its own.
These glosses are no longer available in the nine pack as far as I could tell but they are available on their own. And as I mentioned earlier, only some of these colours are available.
They retail at $36 each in Australia but you can purchase them from Beautybay for around $17 at the moment. Beautybay also have some three pack gift sets on their website. Beautybay is a great site with an amazing range of products, free shipping to Australia and for a couple of dollars extra they send you out deluxe samples with your order. This is a great way of trying products before you buy.
