Product Break-Up: Stila Cherry Crush
Submitted by Sarah D. Bunting on August 2, 2008 – 1:17 AM12 Comments
The design of your tube is super-cute, but you don’t moisturize my lips, at all; you don’t give them any noticeable color; I don’t use you on my cheeks. It’s nice of Stila to offer you with free shipping, but it’s just not enough…you don’t love me back. Chapstick loves me more than you.
I’m leaving you for Almay’s Truly Lasting Color, because that bad boy stayed on through a whole wedding. Don’t try to call me.
Share!

I used that Almay stuff at my own wedding and was not disappointed. It’s hardcore.
Try the Burt’s Bees Lip Gloss, or Super-Shiny Lip Gloss.
Burt and his Bees love me, yes, they do.
I tried Stila for lip color. Loved it. For the first 2-3 applications.
Then the tube started to reek. Really reek. Bad foot odor combined with decaying maggots reek. I brought it back to the store and the clerk gagged. I got a new one, and within a few days the same thing happened.
So I don’t use Stila anymore.
I love Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer but I hate the colors. Most are just way too dark for one of the whitest girls who ever whited. Then again, I don’t live in the butt end of nowhere, but you can see it from here.
I just started using Nivea “kiss of shimmer,” [http://tinyurl.com/5gk953] and it does a good job with the moisturizing without being goopy, although the color is barely noticeable on me. I may try for a darker shade next time; the passion fruit looks nice: [http://tinyurl.com/65ek85].
I like Burt’s Bees but HATE the menthol stink. I’m really mad that apparently all tinted lip balms now have to feel like rubbing Altoids on your lips… at least the Neutrogena ones are mild.
Thanks for warning me about the Cherry Crush, though. I was seriously thinking about buying that stuff just yesterday.
i love that when I click the link, it says ‘this product is currently unavailable’… are you trying to taunt us, Sars??
Love, love, love the Almay Truly Lasting Color, but did anyone else notice that when you click on the link, the Amazon page gives you the option to “Get it for less! Order it used”? My whole body is cringing just thinking about it.

I don’t use tinted lip balm because I forget it’s tinted & I end up smearing it everywhere.
But I am a real lip balm freak, so if any of you are interested in a non-tinted lip balm that moisturizes like crazy, won’t make your lips peel or feel sticky, smells & tastes really fine, lasts longer than most, and won’t turn to gooey mush if you keep it in your Levi’s watch pocket day after day after day until it’s used up, here’s my own very favorite ever: http://tinyurl.com/64frgm
Almay Hydracolor lipstick is the bomb. You can feel the moisturizer as you’re putting it on, that’s how good it is. I like “Dusk.”
I love the Aveda Lip Tint (Sars I’m pretty sure you’ve raved about this before). . .and also – lately I’ve been finding the Almay Truly Lasting color in bonus packs. 2 for the price of 1 – woo!
