Stila’s Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss For Ultra-Pigmented Glossy Lips

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Stila’s Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss ($22.00 each) is new for fall, and they are simply amazing. Six shades of patent-leather, ultra-glossy opaque lipgloss? I’m so there. I’ve only tried three of the six, and they’re all stunning. The gloss is fairly thick, but I didn’t experience any tackiness really–these feel like lip lacquers or liquid lipstick more or less.  These glosses will be available September 2009, but you might see them pop up on stilacosmetics.com earlier if you keep your fingers crossed.

  • Joy is a deep red-burgundy, but it’s actually subdued a bit. It’s not a scarlet red, but it’s still noticeably red. This one had the best finish, pay off, and overall look from the three I tried. It was thick, luxe, and covered in one coat.
  • Giggle is a hot fuchsia pink. There is *no* room for shyness with this one. You wear it and ROCK IT! I don’t know if I’ve ever come across a brighter pink lipgloss in my life. Extremely pigmented, bright as can be, and super glossy.
  • Happiness is a softer, more medium pink. This one felt the sheerest of the three I tried, though it was still mostly opaque, giving my lips a good dose of color.

i wish they sell it here. :( and i cant buy it online :(( double ouch. i really like giggle

I got these at sephora today they are a trio and the giggle is actually called tickled pink...they are gorgeous happiness is very pretty!!

WOW love them when in september will they be available anyone know??thanks

I think mid-September!

my fav are joy (for fall) and happiness...dont think I can pull off the giggle look...lol

LOL! Giggle is going to be tough. It's just so BRIGHT!

giggle looks awesome, i'm so excited!! i can never wear lipgloss because it's never pigmented enough, and when i put it over lipstick it messes it up

I hope these work for you!

Finally it's pigmented!!!! they're all look nice.

Giggle kinda reminds me of one of the OCC lip tars

They're definitely similar in pigmentation!

Wow those look amazing!!!

WOW. I want these. Too bad they're $22 each!

These look kinda like OCC Lip Tars in their pigmentation/gloss. I'd rather have the Lip Tars...

They have a different texture/feel -- these don't dry down like a lipstick like OCC does if you put on a normal layer. These are also WAY WAY glossy, IMO!

I find them beautiful in the tube, very nice when swatched on the arm but the rendering on the lips is not gracious at all. Very messy. Too bad cause Giggle is pretty.

Precise application and lip liner is really all that it takes!

Heeeeeello! These look fantastic. Now I am torn between these and Illamasqua gloss. Wish I had a million bucks :D

LOL, me too, Natalie, me too!

Giggle reminds me of OCC's Pageant. I actually really dislike Joy... it doesn't look like it would be a flattering colour on anybody really.

I think Joy would be great on some, definitely harder to pull off, though!

Could Happiness be a dupe for Partial to Pink? :)

IMO, it's more pigmented, but they are similar.

I have never had any interest in any of their products... until now! These look terrific!

They're definitely stepping it up this fall!

Wow - Stila is really stepping up there game since they came back bigger & better. I'm likin it...

It's a nice shade for sure, Samaya!

Wow, these look amazing. I'm glad Stila is back up & running and coming up with some seriously fabulous things!

That makes two of us, Marce!

Wow... those are pretty awesome looking glosses. Not sure they're my colors, necessarily, but wow!

Can't wait to see the other three -- maybe those will be more up your alley!

OMG! those are amazing. Pure color! I am so in love

I can't wait to see the other three!

I didn't think the burgundy one would look that brown on. I love Happiness!

I thought the deep burgundy was called 'Ectasy' joy or ectasy it is definitely PRETTY!

Can you believe that they don't come with NAMES? I was going back and forth on it :/

It's a nice neutral shade!

I really like Giggle. It's gorgeous!
