Beauty Bible Loves… Stila Heaven's Dew Gel Lip Oil

Is it a gloss? Is it an oil? Is it a gel? Well, it’s a rather luscious hybrid of all three, actually.

Now, some of the original shades of Stila Heaven's Dew Gel Lip Oil had a bit of a ‘disco glitter’ vibe (though we could see their appeal for the party season, or the beach). But the new crop – which just dropped on the Stila site – features eight glorious, lip-tinting shades which go on way more sheer than the line-up you see above would suggest. (Even the ‘Ice Queen’ blue, second form right, just gives a sort of crystalline finish to lips, rather than any actual blue.) You can see what we mean in the swatches, below…

The formula is dispensed from the little clear pot – on a generous doe-foot wand, for easy application – and morphs into a mega-comfy balm-gel on contact with lips, delivering a high-shine finish and lashings of plumping moisture from hyaluronic acid and jojoba seed oil. Working like a balm, it then seals in your own moisture.

Heaven's Dew Gel Lip Oil joins the iconic (and we really mean that) Stila Plumping Lip Glaze, in Stila’s lip-loving stable, which now comes in a huge range of glossy shades (pure nostalgia, for us). If you’ve never tried it – do, do, do.

Honestly, isn’t it just so good to have Stila firmly back on the make-up radar?
