Review+Swatches: Stila’s All Is Bright Lip Glaze Set

001

Oh my gosh!! Why has it been so long since I’ve done a blog post??? I’m such a bad beauty blogger. I’ve been very busy working and dealing with family stuff and the holidays that my blog was put on the back burner.  But I have lots of reviews planned with all the new drugstore goodies coming out so stay tuned!

If you read my Wishlist Wednesday post I did on the Stila All Is Bright lip glaze set, you know that I’ve been wanting this set for a couple months.  Well, I finally bought it and am so happy with it!  Almost every color in this set are great, very pigment and gorgeous. There are, however a couple duds, which you’ll see later in the swatches.

 003

First up is Jack Frost, which is a champagney-pink with lots of iridescent glitter.  It definitely lives up to the frosty name. This isn’t very opaque and has hardly any color to it when applied alone, but it looks really pretty of a lipstick.

004

Next is Jingle, which is a coraly pink color.  It has tiny, barely noticable shimmer that you really have to look closely for. This too is also very sheer so use it on top a lipstick to get the most bang for your buck.

005

Holly is the most brightest, most pigmented gloss in the set.  It’s a burnt, orangish-red with small, barely there shimmer. This one was fun wearing during the holiday Smile

006

This is Joy, a very pretty blue toned pink. This is one of the few matte glosses in the set. I really don’t consider this one as something that should have been included in a holiday set, its much more suitable for the spring season. It is nicely pigmented though.

007

This is Jolly and it’s a true pink with a subtle shimmer. This is a great gloss to put on top of nude lip and pair with a bit of a smokey eye!

008

This is Splender and its another very sparkley gloss that appears to be a true pink in the tube but its actually quite sheer.

009

This is the second really dark gloss in the whole set. Black Cheery is a dark berry color with a little bit of shimmer that’s super goregous. I was expecting a little more color payoff from this when applied to the lips but applies a little too sheer for my tastes. So I apply a berry colored lip liner(which I’ve recently starting experimenting with lip liners) from NYX and it was my favorite lip color for the holidays!

010

And last, but certainly not least is Sugarplum. This is a matte, mauvey-pnk. This was a bit more opaque than Black Cherry and is one of my favorites from the whole set. I like to pair this on top of MAC’s Angel.

Here’s a picture of swatches which are(From L to R) Jack Frost, Jingle, Holly, Joy, Jolly, Splender, Black Cherry, and Sugarplum.  I really do like some of the glosses in this set and it was a great value to get eight glosses for $25. But do I feel like this set was something special or had to have…not so much.  The pinks were very generic and some of the glosses were way to sheer for my liking. I really like Stila Lip Glazes, even though they are super sticky but I think if I were to redo it, I might pass up on this set.

The All Is Bright lip glaze set was a holiday set that was sold at Sephora, Ulta and Stila Cosmetics but I’m not sure if it’s in stock anymore. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday! One of my new years resolutions to post more so wish me luck on that! Thanks for reading!!
