Stila Beauty Boss Lip Gloss In The Black If a gloss looks black in the tube, I’m already interested. Stila’s Beauty Boss Lip Gloss in shade In the Black reads like galaxy lacquer in a tube - deep, inky, loaded with multidimensional reflect. On the lips it’s more nuanced - a semi-sheer smoky wash with ultra-fine light-catching shimmer. One swipe gives you depth and dimension without going opaque. It builds slightly, but never fully commits to solid black making it surprisingly wearable. The glitter is very refined. No grit, no texture, no chunky sparkle, just smooth, suspended reflect that catches the light in a way that feels intentional rather than costume. The formula is where this line consistently performs well: -cushioned but lightweight -not sticky -moisturizing -precise flat doe foot applicator for clean edges The plumping claim, however, that s soft. There’s a peppermint-like rush sensation, but no dramatic visible fullness. It feels refreshing, not transformative. The scent leans sweet, almost cupcake-like. Noticeable on application, but not lingering over long. Other critiques: -the tube feels light for the price - shine needs refreshing after a few hours -“plumping” oversells what is essentially a comfort gloss Still, the finish is dimensional, dramatic, and wearable in a way that only a prestige brand like Stila could really nail. Rating:4/5 A beautiful formula with edge - just not the bold plumper it claims to be; also I couldn’t get past the smell #stila #beautyboss #goth

This lip gloss is amazing, it’s my favourite shade, it’s not to sticky and easily glides on to my lips, it smells amazing and leaves my lips so soft and glossy it’s really lasts but don’t wear on a very windy day as your hair will be on your lips

The packaging is what really caught my eye. I received this as a birthday gift and I absolutely love it! No stickiness which is a plus! It has a shimmer too!
