These come in a range of gorgeous colors, some with very subtle shimmer - I found a surprising number that looked good on my fair skin as well as a friend's darker skin. However, the gloss is a tiny bit sticky once its on. I think the stickiness at least adds to its staying power though, as this stays on better than most glosses I've tried.

Essie polishes seem to last well in my experience, although not quite as well as the OPI or Chanel polishes. I like the colors, especially the pale pinks for hands.

This powder comes in beautiful realistic skin tones and goes on smoothly, but it can look a little bit chalky or dry. I much prefer the finish of the illuminating pressed powder foundation - more natural and less dry-looking.

This comes in gorgeous colors, and has a nice, smooth, silky texture when you put it on. The staying power isn't amazing, but its pretty good, and it doesn't feel weird on the lips, which I've heard a lot of the longer-lasting formulas do. I carry it around with me always now!

I LOVE this stuff - I have it in as many colors as I could find that work for me. Its totally non-sticky, nice and slick and moisturizing, and comes in lovely colors with a hint of shimmer. This was actually something I tried for the first time because my darling husband bought it as a holiday gift for me. Go husband!

I hate the lip glazes - they come in such pretty colors but they have this horrible sticky texture. You couldn't possibly wear them in any kind of breeze because your hair and everything else would stick to it. I much prefer the lip polishes - more limited colors, but much nicer texture, not all sticky and gummy.

Beautiful colors - one of my favorites was discontinued and I love it so much I bought every tube I could find. This is a pretty standard, moisturizing finish with lovely, rich colors. I like that it doesn't have a ton of perfumes in it like many other lipsticks out there so it doesn't smell unpleasant or overpowering when you put it on.

These lip pencils come in nice colors, like most of the stila products, but the pencils don't have good staying power.

I have super-pale skin (porcelain), and the cherry flush color of this product is fantastic - I often put a bit on to refresh at the end of the work day, and it makes me look instantly fresher and prettier. Highly recommended

This comes in really pretty colors, and gives a nice shimmer to face or body for evening or a special event. Its a little too obvious to use during the day.
