Hello! Today I have a review on the new Milani Color Statement lipsticks. These can be purchased at CVS, some Walgreens, and Rite Aid. They retail for about $5.49 or so. They are very affordable and come in a variety of shades. I picked up two shades that seemed unique - Sangria and Flamingo Pose. Let's jump into the review!
The packaging is very nice on these. The lipsticks are a shiny gold with the Milani logo printed on them. The bottom squares show what color the lipstick is. I find this really helpful, as I put them upside down in my lipstick holder. They are easy to find that way!
Here's what the lipsticks look like when you open them up.
Here are the swatches of the two lipsticks in natural lighting without flash. Both colors have a slight shimmer to them. Sangria is more matte than Flamingo Pose is. Neither color is actually matte.
Flamingo Pose is a bright pink. It is true to color as what you see in the swatch. It goes on very easily, but it can get messy due to how pigmented it is. I would definitely recommend a lip liner for both of these lipsticks.
Sangria has been described as a dupe of Mac's Rebel, which is a very popular color. This was actually the reason why I picked up Sangria. I do not own Rebel, so I cannot say for sure if it is a dupe. You be the judge of that. Sangria is a berry color that leans more to the purple side. The color is slightly more drying than Flamingo Pose, but neither shade is uncomfortable to wear.
Application: 9/10
These can be messy! They are very pigmented and it can be hard for me to stay in the lines. I would recommend a lip liner for that reason. The lipsticks glide on with ease and do not give me any problems. The colors can be built up or can be worn more sheer.
Pigmentation 10/10
The Milani Color Statement lipsticks are crazy pigmented. They are some of the most pigmented lipsticks I have come across. The colors are vibrant and really make a statement, just as the name suggests. I have been complimented multiple times on how bright these lipsticks are. Both shades are very opaque.
Lasting Power 10/10
The Milani Color Statement Lipsticks have incredible lasting power. I can wear these lipsticks for the majority of my 5-6 hour work days. I have eaten entire meals in these shades and there has still been color on my lips. I find that both Sangria and Flamingo Pose stain the lips. If you do not like lipsticks that stain, these are not for you. They do not dry out my lips during the wear time either. They remain comfortable. I hardly notice that I am wearing them.
Color Selection 10/10
There are 27 shades of Milani Color Statement lipsticks that range from pinks, reds/oranges, berries, and nudes. I believe there is a shade for everyone in this line.
Scent:
These lipsticks have a scent that reminds me of Jollyranchers. If you do not like scent, these probably aren't for you. I find that I do not notice the scent after the lipstick has been on. It is just noticeable in the tube and during the application process.
Overall: 9.5/10
I would definitely repurchase these. I do plan on getting more shades as well. They are pigmented, comfortable to wear, and long lasting. Let me know down below if you have tried any of the Milani Color Statement lipsticks.
