Swatches:

Verdict: This was my first purchase from Wander Beauty. To be honest I had never heard of the brand until I saw it online at Sephora. The size of the lipsticks in this kit were disappointing. They were very small and not what I was expecting from the $98 retail value that was given to this gift set. Ignoring the size of these lipsticks the product quality is amazing. The colors applied smoothly and were insanely pigmented. The darker colors actually leave a stain on your lips allowing the color to last longer. The set comes with a nice variety of very wearable colors. I enjoyed the formula of these lipsticks however the size makes me hesitant to recommend the set.

According to the company, the products are 100% cruelty free and promise to have “high-impact, dimensional pigments that glide on and blend easily.”

Swatches:

Verdict: This is a really lovely holiday gift set. Estee Lauder did a great job with the colors and price point. The eye shadow palette in this set is just amazing. The colors are highly pigmented and buttery soft. This is a true metallic palette and the shadows blend beautifully. The face palette I am on the fence about. Some of the colors did not apply as pigmented as I had anticipated. The first three colors in the palette were pretty chalky and powedery. It took some effort to work with them however the last three colors were fantastic. They had a similiar formula to the shadows in the eye palette. Overall this is a great set and would make an awesome holiday gift for yourself or a loved one.

A perfectly portable mini-collection of Stila's award winning Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks plus, a dazzling Glitterati Lip Top Coat !

• Bacca (raspberry) 
• Glitterati Lip Top Coat in Transcend (multi-color sparkle)

Swatches:

Verdict: I bought one of Stila's Liquid Lipstick gift sets last year and was impressed and this year was no exception. This gift set is the perfect way to test out Stila's Stay All Day liquid lipsticks, especially since liquid lipsticks have been all the rage this past year. The formula on these lipsticks is very creamy which makes application a breeze. The colors also dry without transferring, leaving your lips with a nice matte finish. I loved all the colors in this years set and the glitter top coat that is included is just freaking amazing. I am a lover of sparkle so I really hope that Stila expands on this glitter lip topper idea.
