Very nice neutral colour - very similar to MAC's Hug Me. Would suit someone lighter skinned than I. Did not work for me as it gave me that porn princess pucker. OK if mixed with a darker colour.

I got the one with the metal packaging, thank god. I hear bad things about the paper packaging, however eco-friendly it is. This is a very nice peachy beige lipcolor. It has been said there is pink in it but I just don't see that in the sheer color payoff it does give me.

A nice colour, and texture. The packaging was very in keeping with the stila brand. Though fair, I have very pigmented lips, and the colour did not show on them, a very nude colour, better suited to a very fair person.

I've never felt the need to have a nude lipstick (I've always thought 'what's the point?'), but Olivia has turned this nay-sayer around. Whether with a smokey eye or with a sun-kissed face it's really flattering on my fair skin (I really thought it would wash me out). It's one of Stila's Sheer formulas, so it doesn't feel dry at all.

Wow. like some other ladies I didnt have high hopes for this lipstick either- trying to find the 'perfect' nude is a complete NIGHTMARE. But this is neither too orange-y or brown it is PERFECT. I have brown hair, blue-grey eyes, and now around nc25-30 warm skintone. Whether I'm more nc25 or more nc30 this l/s always looks great- and completely brightens up my face too and even though i have a bunch of lipsticks i like/love, i can only say 2 or 3 really do this. It's a perfect combo of pinky peach tones- I hate dark l/s and some nudes can look very dark- this is why i hated mac viva glam V. It was too dark. This is gorgeous :))) BUT i hate the packaging. It looks pretty for a while then gets battered in my make up bag with all the other stuff

I had this colour given to me as part of a Stila gift set and I have to say that I LOVE it! It is such as chic and neutral colour, it looks like my natural lips only better. This colour is great for anyone who wants to enhance their lips without the full on 'lip stick look'. Also the texture is fantastics, I suffer from very dry lips and have to constantly apply lip balm throughout the day. However, I can apply Olivia without any balm and my lips feel lovely and soft. I will certainly repurchase when it runs out.

I got this in a swap & was not really expecting much from it cause I just don't wear nude lipstick well. So I was suprised when this looked really good! It is the perfect combination of pinky-peach & does not wash me out which other nudes do. It looks even better now that it is Spring & I am wearing bronzer. I would definitly buy this one when I finish the tube!

This felt really nice on my lips but it didn't show up at all. Pretty in the tube, but I guess my lips are just too pigmented for this one.

For me, it's terribly hard to find a good nude shade and this seems to be the perfect one. It has just enough pink so I don't looked washed out in the winter when I'm a PPP and it still looks great in the summer when I'm more of a MMM. It's similar to MAC's VG 5 but a tad more nude and definitely more glossier.

I also love this lippie, its one of my favourites for a nude look as i too find it hard to get the right nude shade. It perfectly suits my colouring (pale with yellow undertones), making my face light up so i know ive got the right shade. Its not too brown, mauve or orangey, for me its just right. I also like the glossiness of Olivia and sometimes wear it under Mac Chai l/glass. My one criticism is that you do have to reapply it alot but i guess that the price for having a glossy lipstick. Just try it!

This is my favorite lipstick. The pale nude color looks so natural. I usually don't have a problem with Stila's cardboard packaging, but since this one is white with blue flowers, it got dirty in my makeup bag. Now it's stained with foundation or something, and while it's still the perfect color of lipstick for me, its packaging looks awful. Oh well. It's still an awesome lipstick.

This hardly showed up on my lips and I have pretty pale features. I just wanted this to have more color, but the texture was nice. Clinique's tenderheart gloss and lipstick are almost the same color but better. Basically use this as a gloss.

On my medium mauvy pink lips this is a soft light mostly peach, slighly pink color then is very flattering with my neutral ppp skin. The lipsick is sheer, well pigmented and very moist. Stila is one of the few lipstick brands that doesn't dry my lips at all. The only downside is it needs to be re-applied frequently. I bought a tube about 2 years ago when it was part of the LE Darjeeling set and had been rationing my use it, never realizing that it was part of the regular collection. The pretty blue floral tube is fading, but it is still in excellent condition and despite my concerns about cardboard packaging it has survived living in my makeup bag.

Two raves and two rant about this. Rave for the colour... one of the best neutrals I tried. It's a neutral beige-pink and totally wearble without making look dead. It's a great base colour to add gloss to. 2nd rave for the texture, it's quite smooth, glossy, and creamy.
For the rant, price. Quite expensive in Canada for this item. It's sad because I can't find an exact equivalent in the same gloss texture. The 2nd is that stupid cardboard. Once again, these fall apart so easily. I only store them in dry and covered train cases and once in a while in my handbag for touchups. YET I've managed to have 3 of them to start peeling. *sigh*
I would only recommend to purchase this if you love it a lot and a few bucks to burn. The close alternative I did find is MAC Viva Glam II with MAC Womanly and a bit of Chai lipglass on top to get a similar effect.

I really like the color of this lippie, pretty similiar to loreal in the buff with one major difference- it was glossier, which i defiantely like. I know everyone hates the packaging- i dont like it but i dont hate it.It seems like you have to take extra care of it since its cardboard. The color is a peachy pink, which i like to but over a little concealer on my lips (something i always do- dont make fun!) it looks really pretty like this- kinda of a beachy peach. I would buy this again, but i like to try different colors out, so maybe not right away.

This is an awesome color. Pale, peachy, pink nude color. It is the ONLY nude color I have found that I can actually wear. THey all turn orangey on me. This is spectacular. I am pretty pale myself, so I use contour #4 to line, this REALLY makes a big difference. Depending on what color blush/shadow I'm using, I use banana lip glaze (for browns and peaches) or MAC Bliss Me lipglass (for mauvey pink) or Hard Candy Pixie gloss for my summer time sheer "dandelion" blush look. After I got this, I was sitting at the house and my husband was just watching me and I was like "WHAT???" he said "You look SOO sexy right now!" THIS from a RED lipstick man. I will SOOOOO be repurchasing!

I was surprised that I liked this because I usually tend toward dark red lipsticks and I have pigmented lips. The SA used this on me to balance out the smokey eyes that I had on.

This is a peachy, nude, slightly pinky color. It's considered a sheer color by stila, but I thought it still delivered a lot of color. I use with Lip Contour #1, and I apply Banana Lip Glaze over it for a very sort of girly and fun, yet still nude and neutral lip.

I really like the Stila lipsticks - they are slick and moisturizing. The "greasiness" that some speak of doesn't bother me. Olivia is a delicate nude shade, no shimmer, but the lipstick is just a little glossy. I worried that it might be a touch on the warm side for my PPP skin, but it is quite complimentary. Probably won't buy this shade again because it is not a color i often reach for, but I like the Stila lipsticks in general.

Peachy nude with a super sheer consistency and a very shiny finish. It hardly showed up on my pale lips.
