If You Love Bright Lips, Then Milani's Lip Intense Is For You!

 Calling all bright lip lovers! I have finally found the perfect neon pink that will turn heads and grab everyone's attention!

Introducing Milani's new Lip Intense Liquid Color lipstick and stain in Fiery Coral!

These new Lip Intenses are the last thing that Milani recently released with their new lip product line. There are only four shades to choose from. A bright ruby red, a bright baby pink, this hot coral, and a vibrant purple.

Although I am not one to wear bright lips a lot, I really wanted to give these a go since they seemed interesting. Out of the four I decided on on Fiery Coral: a literally neon highlighter pink coral that is sure to grab attention.

There was also some positive and negative things to say about this one.

First off I want to start off by saying I love the pigmentation on this. One stroke and you are good to go. And Milani is not lying when they are saying neon cause it is! This color is clearly not for everyone but if you love brights get it! I also loved the smell! It smelled really sweet like candy.
It lasted well on my lips throughout the day and left a nice stain.

Now for the negative...

Like the Power Lips I really wasn't a fan of the application process. It's not really the packaging but the wand itself. It is a flat like paddle that really doesn't pick up much product and applies the product on in a odd way.

I also noticed this was a little drying on the lips after around three hours of wear. So prepare wisely!

Fiery Coral. I wasn't kidding about that color!
Final Thoughts: Although the wand is a little annoying, I wouldn't let that stop you from getting this! Like I said, if you love bright lippies then I don't know why you are sitting here reading this...go get it!

Overall Grade: B

Have you tried the Lip Intense? Are there any other colors you have your eye on?

Milani's New Power Lip Gloss Stain Review!

I recently said in a previous post about how Milani released a lot of new lip products. Along with the Brilliant Shine glosses Milani released a new Power Lip Gloss Stain ($5.99).

The Power Lips had a limited variety of colors compared to the glosses.

I picked the shade Macaroon 05 a rosy pink.

 I have mixed feelings about this product because although the product itself wears well and is really pigmented, I can't stand the packaging and how you have to get the product to come out.

The applicator is a stiff plastic brush that is not comfortable on the lips. It's a whole other story on how to get the product out, you have to twist the top until some comes through the head.

I had a bad experience where when I first used this I thought since it's brand new I would have to turn it a few times...yeah wrong! The product just flew out overflowing and it wasted perfect good lipstick :(

But for the lipstick itself and it's wear time, it wore well on my for around six hours and it left a nice stain on my lips. It was a comfortable lipstick that didn't dry out my lips.

 Final Thoughts: If this product had better packaging I would for sure give it a higher grade but we started on the wrong foot. Although I love what is in the tube, I don't like the tube itself.. so if you are interested in this product, go ahead and try it but beware of the twist!

Overall Grade: C

Where you can get this product: At any CVS or major retailer that sells Milani cosmetics.

Have you tried Milani's new gloss stain or are you interested? Let me know!
