Yay! Milani's 2014 collection has made its debut and is now available online at MilaniCosmetics.com and in-store at CVS, Walmart, and Walgreens. They've released a new set of lip glosses, stains and liquid colors! I received a sampling of the lip colors available and have shared my thoughts below.
Before applying any lip glosses, I first put Milani's Anti-Feathering Lip Primer on as a base. The primer is a smooth, glide-on formula that keeps lipstick and lip gloss from feathering, and also keeps lips smooth and moisturized.
Below is a swatch of all the lip colors I sampled. As you can see, the textures vary from buttery to glossy.
Swatches from left to right:
Milani Power Lip Lasting & Moisturizing Gloss Stain - Pink Lemonade (04)Milani Power Lip Lasting & Moisturizing Gloss Stain - Macaroon (05)
Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color - Fiery Coral (03)Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss - Luminous (03)Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss - Bare Secret (01)Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss - Berry Tempting (05)
My favorites are Milani's Brilliant Shine Lip Glosses. They're sheer and super glossy with a sweet vanilla-like scent. As you can see in the photo below, the Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss is applied with a flexible sponge-tip applicator for easy application. I LOVE everything about these lip glosses. They leave my lips shiny, hydrated, and the colors are beautiful! I couldn't decide which sample color I liked best, so two of my favorite Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss colors are shown below.
There are 14 delectable shades in all and they retail for a MUST-TRY price of $5.49 each. Made in the USA.
Also new for 2014 are Milani's Power Lip Lasting & Moisturizing Gloss Stain. The gloss stain is opaque and creamy in texture with a sheen that wears off long before the lip stain. Power Lip's stain has great staying power and can be built up for more intensity. It's twist pen brush applicator (see below) is a bit awkward to use at first. I had trouble determining how much gloss would come up with each click. If you over click, you will have a goopy mess on your hands. This is definitely not a lip product you could easily apply at a stop light and is best applied at home.
Milani's Lip Intense Liquid Color is just as the name implies: "INTENSE COLOR." This highly pigmented lip color will knock your socks off. If you are looking for a bold, thick and creamy, full-coverage lip color that screams "I have arrived," this is for you. However, if you have mature lips (like me) this lip color is questionable. I prefer a shiny lip color or gloss that deflects light and minimizes my flaws. Lip Intense Liquid Color is unforgiving. I found it settled in the cracks of my lips and was unflattering. It felt smooth and silky on my lips, but the mirror told a different story. I will be sampling another color from this collection very soon, and will let you know if the same thing happens.
Milani's Lip Intense Liquid Color is available in four fab colors and retails for $6.49 (Made in Italy).
