Stila All Day Liquid Lipstick "Patina" Review

So yesterday, me and my brother went to Shangri-la Rustan's just to get this lipstick. I've seen this all over youtube, weheartit and also from other bloggers. Everyone just loved it so much and I decided I wanted it in my life since from what I've seen, this color looks great on everybody. So when we got to the stila stall there, (I almost couldn't find it since the space was a tad too small and it was in the far corner) "Patina" wasn't on display, I asked for it and lucky me, they had 1 last stock left. It was reserved for someone but they didn't picked it up on their suppose deadline so yea, I got it! 



The size of this product is 0.10 FL.OZ. / OZ. LIQ. / 3 ml and this would really take a long time for me to finish but not too big and not too small and works well if you're putting it on your bag or make up kit when you're traveling or just heading out.

Item Description:

A creamy-matte, full coverage lip color that delivers bold, long lasting color and stays in place for up to 6 hours of continuous wear.

The texture is weightless on lips and delivers superb comfort and its color-rich formula will not bleed or transfer.

Enriched with vitamin E and avocado oil, Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick softens the lips so they look and feel beautiful!

Price: 

P1,250 which is $27.71. Yep a lot more expensive compared to other countries which only costs them $22 which is P992.53. I got it at Shangri-la Rustan's.

What I think of this product?

To be completely honest, I was having 2nd thoughts on actually buying this at first because besides the fact that it is pricey, my lips are very dry and I thought that this product wouldn't look good on me. Well, I was wrong, even if I didn't apply lipbalm and just put it in, it actually moisturizes my lips but it doesn't feel sticky which is what actually sold me on getting it. 

Like from what I said above, I am loving this shade so much! It's so beautiful and kind of reminds me what most hollywood celebs are actually wearing now like Ariana Grande and Kylie Jenner. It actually smells really good too like no hint of chemical smell whatsoever. Fragrant but not overpowering that would make you feel dizzy so that is another +1 for it.


The cons on this product would have to be it's application. It is indeed pretty messy so do start at the middle part of your lips and so on. Another thing is it sinks in to the lines on your lips and the kiss test, well for me that didn't really work for I don't know what reason but even if it does leave a little mark on me, the color on my lips doesn't fade and having to wear it all day yesterday, I think it is long lasting on your lips.

Is it worth the money?

Yes, It is beautiful and definitely worth the investment. If you're the type to like wearing matte lipsticks then you should go ahead and try this. I do think Patina is the best but then again, another color I had my eye on was Aria but it wasn't on stock. The lady who assisted me told me that Beso, Patina and Aria are always the ones out of stock because it's what people are always buying from them. So if you're Stila stores accepts reservations whenever they restock, do reserve as soon as possible if you ever think of getting it because like I said, it sells out fast!

So I guess that's it for this product, All in all I think I would consider this one of my holy grail lipsticks now. I hope that this has helped you if you are looking into getting this product or if you're just curious about it. Do comment below if you have any other products you suggest me to try out that you'd think I would like or if you have similar or different experience after using this product.

On The Budget [P500] - Inside My Stash.

Welcome back to my blog everybody! If you're new here, Hi I'm Joyce and as what the title says, I will be showing you guys some products that is inside my stash that are worth P500 or below. I got this idea from a magazine I was reading and I thought, why not show you guys what I purchased that are budget friendly but is still amazing regardless if it is not that high end. So without further ado, let's get started!

1. "Breath Of Fresh Air" by: Lush. I got this for P395 at the Lush store at Shangri-la near SM Megamall. A lovely spray toner with a calm scent. I do recommend using a cotton ball for it since the spray of the toner is so wide.

2. "Drawing Eye Brow" by: Etude House (I'm using the color #3). I got this for P148 at the Etude House store at SM Megamall. It is a double sided pencil and spoolie brush. It doesn't fade althroughout the day even if I am constantly sweating and the spoolie brush isn't really the best but it's not painful to use. The downside is this product is only available in so few colors. It is easy to remove and fills in the brows nicely.

3. "iWhite Nose Pack". I got this for P18 at Watson's in SM taytay. First of all it is super cheap / very affordable and 1 sachet for me can be used for 2-3 times. It is unscented and abit of a thick texture. You could honestly feel the black heads / white heads coming off of your nose. The only downside of it is that it will be messy once you start applying it and abit painful when peeling it off but I guarantee it does do it's job very well. 

4. "Color My Brows" by: Etude House (I'm using the color #2). I got this for P378 at the Etude House store at SM Megamall. Having really thick eyebrows was a struggle for me at 1st because I wanted to fill it in with another color or shape it but not looking like I tried to much. This product helped me achieve that since it is an eye brow mascara that matches my dyed hair color. It's scent is nice but not overpowering. The downside may be that the brush grabs on to too much product. Now I pair this after using my eyebrow pencil (my number 2 product) and it gives me a smooth finish.  It is available on 5 more colors so check it out.

5. "Pretty When Pinched" lip and cheek tint by: Bench. I've had this product for about a year already (don't judge me, I tend to not finish a product often.. sorry!) and I remember I got this for a cheap price but now that I searched it, it says that this is about P180 at any Bench store. The applicator for this is what I don't like + the scent. But when you get past that, it looks really great as a blush, for the lips though.. it is abit drying. I think that most Filipino girls has this on their stash because it does work great and if you don't have it yet, then you should go ahead and try it! It is only available in this color if I'm not wrong (I don't even know if they changed the packaging or not) but I've been using this product ever since I was in 2nd year high school and it is loved by most of my schoolmates before until today.

Now, wasn't all that affordable! Hope that you guys liked the read and helped you if you are finding affordable but works great essentials. I will be posting more of these because I am guilty of trying out way too much drugstore makeup and finding the cheapest stuff on a specific brand.

So if you like this do +1 it and follow me for more updates or comment your suggestions on what you think is below P500 that works great too.

Thanks for reading this entry, until the next blog!
