Packaging: 9/10

These glosses come in clear, plastic tubes and come with doe-foot applicators.

Quality: 9/10

Tiara is a pale, milky pink that leans lavender and has silver sparkles. Dazzling is an electric crimson with pink and silver sparkles. Fairy Dust is a peach with pink and gold sparkles. Bling is a sheerer peach with fewer pink and silver sparkles. Fairy Dust and Bling are very similar in color; Bling is slightly more pink.

Stila says these give sheer color to the lips, but these actually give a good amount of color. They aren’t opaque, but the pigmentation isn’t sheer. Of the 4 colors, Bling is the most sheer and Dazzling is the most vibrant.

The formula is very smooth, fairly moisturizing, thin, and has only slight stickiness. The gloss includes camellia oil, which has sort of a sweet smell, but isn’t strongly present.

All the colors have tons of sparkle. The shimmer shows up more with Fairy Dust and Bling than with Tiara and Dazzling.

I got average wear from these lip glosses, which is around 2 hours before wanting to touch-up.

Ease of Use: 9.25/10

These are easy to use. The doe-foot applicator is soft on the lips and allows for precise application. Removal will take a tad longer because you’ll have to remove the sparkles too.

Price: 9/10

For $22.00 you get 3.3 ml (0.11 fl oz) of gloss. MAC Dazzleglasses are $19.50 and contain less product than Stila’s Sparkle Luxe Glosses.
