I totally had something else planned for the blog today, but that can wait! I cleared my schedule for a very special first look: Stila Firenze Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick.
The Stila Stay All Day formula has been my favorite liquid lipstick formula since the beginning of my liquid lipstick journey. I think the formula is the most pigmented, the least streaky, and the texture is very easy to work with.
Plus, I actually find them to be less drying than other liquid lipstick formulas I’ve encountered, but that could just be me. Needless to say, I was super excited when I heard that Stila was releasing the new, VIB exclusive shade.
Stila Firenze vs. Patina
Here I have Stila Firenze watched alongside Stila “Patina” and Kat Von D “Lolita.” These two shades draw heavy comparisons to Stila Firenze. While they are similar, they aren’t dupes.
I have heard complaints that Firenze is exactly the same as “Patina,” but this is not the case. While Firenze and “Patina” are about the same depth, (and by that I mean darkness,) the undertones are completely different. “Patina” has a cool-mauve undertone, and Firenze has more of a rosy undertone. Firenze is definitely more warm toned than “Patina.” The difference is pretty apparent in the photo above. The difference is even more stark in real life.

Stila Firenze vs. Kat Von D Lolita
However, Stila Firenze is quite similar to Kat Von D “Lolita.” They look even more similar in real life than they do in the photo. Firenze leans slightly more on the rosy side, while “Lolita” leans more brown.
If perhaps you feel like “Lolita” is just a tad too brown for you, Stila Firenze may be a good compromise. If you aren’t too specific about colors, I feel like unless you would like to have them both for collecting’s sake, you probably don’t need them both.

This is what the color looks like on my lips. (Don’t mind the flakiness- impromptu non-exfoliated swatch action going on.) The texture and scent are exactly what I have come to expect from Stila, so no complaints there. The Firenze formula feels and wears exactly like the other shades in the Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick range.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.
