Mmm, brown sugar. How could we bake without you?
Erm, I’m really not feeling the creative juices right now, but I wanted to have a fresh post out tomorrow. So, here is the awkward version of a real review!
Product: Stila Brown Sugar lip glaze. This one’s easy to find brand new on MUA, and I think it’s one of their most under-hyped lip glazes.
Wait, under-hyped?: Yup, you read that right! I know the picture above is pretty washed out (real sunlight! Good lord!) but this does look very blah in the tube – dark brown with glitter. I’ll do a post on the Raspberry lip glaze later, and you can see what it actually looks like in the tube then. But anyhow, back on point: this is more berry than it would seem to be in the tube, and gives quite a pretty colour!
The following picture is pretty accurate:
Any bad points?: well, it’s a little on the sticky side, but because I love the colour and the fairly fine shimmer, I just gloss my lips with this and then top with some Vaseline. On its own it’s too sticky and not hydrating enough for me, but with lip balm underneath and Vaseline over, it’s perfect!
Other stuff:
- Smells and tastes pretty good :P
- On the pricey side, but as I said it’s easy to find this on MUA (in mini sizes or brand new, even!)- I think it’s sometimes given out as a GWP, and if bought in a set I can see why many people would assume this would look bad on them.
- The colour is layerable – it can be a sheer layer for just a bit of sparkle or a heavier one for major shine, sparkle, and colour.
See? Told you it was gorgeous. It darkens up my lips a bit, almost giving them a plum/mauve tint – it can definitely be layered past this, to a more berry/brown, but this is the comfortable consitency in my books! 
The verdict: Definitely get your hands on a click-pen of this (I like the concept of the applicator, but it’s hard to get the right amount of product out. It’s always either too much or none at all), but I would do so on MUA if possible.
(is it just me or was that review actually pretty okay?! Hm…)
