How to use

Color Block High Impact Lipstick can work three ways:

Looking for more moisture?
Prep lips with Balmy Days Lip Conditioner for super hydration and a hint of shine.
Editor's note
A decadent, rich formula that nourishes your lips thanks to its conditioning oils such as organic Castor Seed Oil and Apricot Seed Oil.
This is ILIA’s longest long-lasting formula and it’s formulated with up to four times more pigment than any other lipstick ILIA has ever made.
For a matte look, blot with a tissue and apply the Soft Focus Finishing Powder.
It is a feather-free formula so you can use it with a lip liner, only if you want to.
For a boost of hydration, prep lips with Balmy Days Lip Conditioner, which will also sheer out the formula a little.
Regarding formulation, ILIA uses a combination of natural pigments and food-grade dyes.
Food-grade dye is a synthetic form of color.
The choice to use food-grade dye was preferred over the use of Carmine (crushed beetle skin) when formulating certain lip colors in order to obtain a stronger hue.
“Start by prepping your lips with Balmy Nights Lip Exfoliator for a smooth, even application.
To create more of a matte stain, take your finger to the bullet to pick up some color and blot it into your lips.
This works great with the shade Ultra Violet!”

Founder's story
Driven by her concern for “green washing”, her mother’s attentiveness to diet, healthy living and homeopathy which helped her brother, Zachary Ilia, to cure his acute asthma and severe allergies, Sasha Plavsic slowly started the creation of ILIA in Vancouver, 2011, a clean beauty line which is out to prove that functionality and stability can work hand in hand when it comes to achieving and maintaining your healthy skin and your good looks.
Throughout her twenties, Sasha was interested in design and typography, studying in London and New York, and working for brands such as Cartier, in marketing and branding.
This experience gave her a good understanding of the world of business which she later on used when she returned to Vancouver and founded the beginnings of ILIA.
The name, ILIA, is Slavic in heritage and has a double meaning.
It comes from their great grandfather who was a high-end shoe designer from Belgrade, in former Yugoslavia and it means hand made shoes and also organic and healthy, which captures the brand.
The ILIA BEAUTY promise
ILIA strives to transcend the concept of being organic and clean by incorporating a hybrid of safe synthetics and clean ingredients.
They use a large percentage of certified organic and bio-active botanicals from ethical and sustainable sources combined with a small amount of safe synthetics which enhances the performance of the products.
Each product contains up to 85% bio-active organic ingredients, sourced from organic farmers and processed in a laboratory that is certified with Gluten-Free and Leaping Bunny.
Each piece has an ethical-sustainable approach which is revealed by housing all their products in recycled aluminum cases.
Their taglines involve believing in skin that looks like skin and radiance that comes naturally.
They value transparency and always challenge the conventions of clean beauty to create something out of this world.
ILIA is committed to carve a new path by balancing safety and performance in products that truly work to make your skin look good and alive.
