Way before liquid matte lipsticks became all the rage, Stila already had one of the best long-lasting, liquid lip colors, called Stay All Day liquid lipstick. This kit contains mini tubes of nudes, neutrals, and vampy reds (this kit is worth buying alone for Patina, a perfect, sexy neutral rose shade). You need only a pin drop’s worth of product to achieve a full-coverage stain.
