For me, like so many other women during the summer, my lips tend to dry out from baking in the sun. Personally, I always reach for chapstick instead of lipstick to keep them moisturised when I know I’m going to be outside all day, even though a chapstick definitely doesn’t look as good on your lips. Hopefully, Stila’s new Colour Balm Lipstick will help with that.
Their new lipsticks are both pigmented and nourishing, with a satin finish. Stila uses a formula with plant-based emollients and peppermint oils that promise to help keep lips both cool and comfortable. I’m excited about the combination – all the creaminess of a balm with the colour of a stick.
The lipstick comes in a shiny gold case, and you can choose from 13 different shades, one for any outfit pairing. Three of the shades are exclusive and were inspired by New York Fashion Week and its subtly natural colours.
The Color Balm Lipstick is £16 and is available now.
