Impressions

Milani is a US-based cosmetics company, their products get rave reviews due to the overall quality, but I wish they would come visit the Philippines! It took 4 weeks for my pre-order to arrive. One of their products that interested me was the Milani Color Statement Lipstick because of the reasonable price and color range. These lipsticks contain Vitamins A, C and E, vanilla extract, etc. FREE FROM PARABENS! Packaging pa lang already looks like a million bucks with its gold color and high quality materials used in producing this lipstick. The ones I ordered actually had a light grape candy scent, yummy!

If you would look at the chart below, they offer 30 shades that vary from matte to creamy, pearl to metallic, etc. My colors were Sangria (a deep red wine with purple undertone) and Violet Volt (a bright metallic violet). Both of them very pigmented and applied smoothly, and had a soft cushioned feeling on the lips.

Performance is also super-duper. The colors stick like tattoo on my lips all day and will not budge, even after an oily meal. Hindi ako nagkamali buying Milani. Yun lang... if you don't mind having to pre-order, I'd highly recommend for you to collect their colors.

Here are some swatches, they look darker in person.



Sangria is a goth deep reddish-purple shade. Great for morena and deeper skin tone.

Oooh-la-lah! Violet Volt is an electric and really violet color that makes you stand out from the crowd.
This is especially recommended for those with thin lips because the metallic finish gives the lips a fuller look.
(Some reviews compare this to MAC's Violetta.)
