Listen, the “Stay All Day” in Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss? ALL the Truth

I typically go through seasons of loving lip gloss and seasons where I’m like “NAH.” I’m currently in a season where I’m loving it. Which of course for my makeup thirsty behind means I’m going ALL in for gloss (I also really like the new Urban Decay gloss). SMH. BUT that also means that I’d be all on Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss and then be here to tell you all about it.

Like most purchases, I hadn’t set out to buy this. I was in Georgia last week visiting family and was hanging out with my homey Trina from The Baby Shopaholic who suggested going to a recently opened cosmetics store in Alpharetta. The spot—The Cosmetic Market—reminded me of Space NK. Somewhat like a Sephora but edited down way more. You’ll see brands like Avene, Murad, Lipstick Queen, Bare Minerals, Bobbi Brown, and Moroccanoil but then there are others you might not have heard of but after seeing it there, you really want to try them. But anyway, back to this Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss.

I’d pass it ALL the time at Sephora but having tried “long wearing” lip glosses before and all their super sticky and not really long-wearing-ness, I’d keep it trucking. But shade Fuchsia Vinyl was calling out to me like “BUY ME.” So I bought that bad boy…lol.

Fuchsia Vinyl is a deep magenta shade which looks a heck of a lot like SO many lip colors I already own. But that’s not the point…lol. I LOVE colors like this and that it’s a gloss makes it so much more fun and soft.

And when they say Stay All Day? They do NOT lie. It’s not like it goes matte like all the liquid matte lipsticks–it stays glossy. It deposits a good pigment on the lips and the gloss finish holds on strong for hours (about like 4-5 depending on how much you eat or drink) and then even after the glossy part wears off, there’s still a stain of color on your lips that lasts the rest of the day. It’s genius! And I love that my lips felt moisturized all day. My hair did get caught in it a few times the other day when it was windy but other than that, smooth sailings.

I only have this one color but I imagine that the deeper and brighter colors of the Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss last longer than the lighter ones just because that’s just how things work out with lip colors…lol. (Actually it’s because there’s more pigment to stain the lips in the darker and brighter colors).

I love these but probably won’t buy more shades unless Stila comes out with a pretty brownish-pink (brownish-pinks make for AWESOME nudes on dark skin like mine) or a mauvey-pink (see more mauvey-pinks here and here). I REALLY don’t need to buy more lip color (but I more than likely will…lol). Consider this research for the blog that turned out very well :)

Bottom line: Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss is all that and a bag of chips (wait, no one still says that). No, but seriously it’s amazing and I’m sure you’ll love it, too if you’re a gloss girl. I just need Stila to make more shades.

Price and where to buy: $24 at Sephora (plus 4% cash back if you use eBates)
