REVIEW: Milani Ultrafine Liquid Eyeliner Ahoy there! Today I am showing you Milani’s Ultrafine liquid eyeliners in five different shades. I will show you to swatches on my arm, rather than my eyes because I haven’t figured out how to adjust the lighting against my face just yet and I want to be able to show you the true colors of these eyeliners. But first, let’s talk about the brush.
The wand has a pointed felt tip which allows for precise application. You can use the tip to draw thin lines or you can apply a bit more pressure and let the larger end of the tip help you draw thicker lines.
This felt tip is extremely helpful for a beginner because unlike a brush tip, the felt does not change shape as it glides against your skin, thus allowing for straight, crisp lines since you have better control. If you don’t have a steady hand, I advise for you to practice with these eyeliners!
Picture above from left to right: Black Vinyl, Black Gems, Prismatic Purple, Sparkling Turquoise, and Emerald Glisten Black Vinyl is a basic black liquid eyeliner. The formula is highly pigmented, so you wouldn’t need to draw the line on more than once. Black Gems is another black liquid eyeliner but with ‘gems’ laced in. That is, there are various colors of sparkles. It adds a very intense and bold touch to make your eyes pop! Prismatic Purple is a gorgeous violet liquid eyeliner with a navy blue shimmer. Sparkling Turquoise is a sparkling, metallic turquoise. This is perfect for the springtime. Emerald Glisten is a must-have! Emerald is the color of the year, so you’ll definitely want to give this a go. It’s beautiful and glistens in the sun. All five of these eyeliners are waterproof and smudge-proof, which is a big plus in my book because I tend to rub my eyes throughout the day (bad habit, I know). Since they are waterproof, you need to use an oil-base makeup remover to take them off. The nice thing is that with remover, they will come off with ease and will not smear around your face (so no raccoon eyes!). These eyeliners are available at CVS, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, and Kmart for $7.49 each. You can also find them on the Milani website (here). Questions? Comments?

REVIEW: Milani Color Statement Lipsticks - Naturals & Browns Hey, hey! Today I have the remainder of the Color Statement lipsticks from Milani to show you. These are the natural and brown shades. The natural shades really add a bit of color to make your lips look smooth and healthy! I really was not expecting to find any of these shades compatible with my skin tone, but to my surprise, I ended up loving most of them. It just goes to show you that you’ve gotta try a color before you decide whether or not you like it!
Naturally Chic (25) is my favorite! This pinkish nude cream lippy makes my lips look so healthy! I have pale lips and this simple lipstick really helps to brighten up my face.
Nude Creme (26) is as the name says - a nude cream, haha. It’s a bit too light for me.
Dulce Carmelo (27) is a very light pink with a pearl finish. This is another color that is easy to wear on a daily basis. The pearl glow gives the illusion of plumper lips. ;)
Teddy Bare (29) is close to my actual lip color. It helps even everything out for me. Would definitely wear this again!
Candied Toffees (30) is a milk chocolate brown metallic lippy. It’s much too dark for me, but I will definitely use this to mix with another color to my liking.
Bronze Beauty (31) is a brown lippy with an intense bronze shimmer! Shockingly enough, I like the shimmer in this lipstick quite a bit!
D’Oro (36) is a golden metallic. It’s close to a sandy color, but has a stunning gold shimmer. This does not work well on me unfortunately.
Chocolate Berries (37) sounds delicious, huh? It’s a deep brown with reddish hues. Can I pull this off? Perhaps, but I would need to blotch the color a bit to lighten it before I go outside!
Double Espresso (38) is the darkest brown of this set. This is a pearl-finish lippy. I love the intensity of the color, but it’s much too dark for me. For the first four lipsticks shown, I used Milani’s Color Statement Lipliner in Spice (09) to line my lips and for the remaining colors, I used Cocoa (10). These liners are a must to prevent your lipstick from feathering and outlining your lips prior to lipstick application results in a crisp and clean look. I really like the lighter tones in this set, but the deeper browns were much too dark. Which ones would you wear?

REVIEW: Milani Color Statement Lipsticks - Plums & Berries O hai, lovely readers! Today I have the plum and berry shades of Milani’s Color Statement Lipsticks to show you. In case you missed my swatches of the reds/oranges and pinks/corals, I will link them at the end of this post for you. Plum and berry shades are definitely out of my usual preference for lip colors, but these rich, vampy colors make quite the fashion statement! Now let’s look at some swatches!
Plumrose (17) is a cream-finish pink orchid color. It’s a ‘safe’ color to wear since it’s more pink than purple.
Raspberry Rush (19) is a metallic purple-pink with a hint of blue in the frost. Very bright!
Uptown Mauve (20) is another bright lippy! This is a cream-finish mauve. Pretty!
Sangria (21) is a matte, vampy plum color. I really love matte lippies!
Chilled Brandy (22) is a brown/bronze-berry frosty polish. In my opinion, it’s a tad too dark for my skin tone, but perhaps you can pull off this color better than I can!
Black Cherry (24) is a gorgeous berry cream. It is definitely very dark, so I can’t see myself sporting this on a daily basis, but it would look awesome with a sophisticated black dress if you’re going to a party!
Violet Volt (34) is the most purple shade from this set. Surprisingly, I found myself really liking this vibrant metallic lippy! For 21, 22, and 24, I used the Color Statement Lipliner in Brandy (07) to line my lips prior to lipstick application. The creamy lipliner is a must to outline the shape of your lips! And for the rest, I used the Color Statement Lipliner in Fuchsia (08). Which colors do you like from this set? My personal favorites are 19, 20, and 34! If you missed the reds/oranges swatches, you can find them here and the pinks/corals are here.

REVIEW: Milani Color Statement Lipsticks - Pinks & Corals Wheee! I have more lippies to show you today. Last time I showed you swatches of the reds and oranges from Milani’s Color Statement Lipsticks collection and today I have the pinks and corals.
Pink Frost (09) is a metallic, shimmery pink. I don’t think I can pull off frosty lipstick very well, but it is definitely something to try if you’re willing to move out of the comfort zone. :)
Fruit Punch (11) is a more natural shade of pink. Very creamy and easy to wear with any eye makeup!
Flamingo Rose (12) is cream-finish magenta lippy. It makes your lips look extra sweet! ;)
Rose Hip (14) is a bright orchid cream. It is much less purple in person - I’m not sure why my camera freaked out on me with this color, haha!
Hot Pink Rage (15) has a beautiful matte finish. Definitely a nice lipstick to add a pop of color to your face!
Flirty Fuchsia (16) is definitely flirty! This vinyl-finish lipstick is very highly pigmented to perfectly stain your lips with this kissable color. My favorite of this set!
Rose Amour (33) is my definition of a perfect Barbie lipstick. It does not work very well for my skin tone, but I just love the creamy application! I used two different lip liners for these lippies. All Natural (04) and Haute Pink (05) are both perfect to match up with these pink and coral shades. So how do you like these pinks and corals? Talk to me on Facebook and Instagram!
