Review: Milani Lip Flash Lipstick Pencil

So I was on a Milani kick and also picked up this lip pencil.  There are a bunch of other Milani items I plan to pick up so you will be seeing more reviews from me soon.

This is the Lip Flash lipstick pencil. Wow...can you say bright! I picked up 04- photo flash. The site says that it is Fuchsia with gold and fuchsia shimmer.  It is definitely a hot pink color.  I personally love hot pink so this was calling my name.  And it is PACKED with glitter. I applied it on my lips and it went on really smooth. It has a lot of glitter but doesn't really feel gritty.  Although it is more of a lipstick formula than gloss it goes on like a satin lipstick with loads of glitter. I like it more glossy so I add a clear gloss over.  It really makes the glitter pop even more. I really liked this pencil so I plan to pick up some more shades. It's not wearable for daily use since it has so much glitter but is great for a night time look.  I also tried out the Hard Candy pencils, I will do a review soon.  And I would say that I like the Milani version is better. It is a hard stick so easy to apply and yet still deposits a true color.  

The glitter did not photograph well, but the color seems pretty accurate from the first pic.  The second is to try to see the glitter.  If you are not shy, go for it. It's a great color and the tons of glitter is awesome.

I got mine at Target, but you can also get it at CVS. The link to the Milani site is:]http://www.milanicosmetics.com/p-82-lip-flash.aspx

This is the site description: The electric lip look is defined with highly pigmented flashy shimmer colors. Create news worthy lips with extra glossy, high color coverage and moisture rich ingredients. A sharpenable, easy to use, anti-feathering and nontacky lip gloss pencil.

They are reasonably priced at 6.99.  

Overall, I give them an A.

Review: Milani LIQUIF'EYE Metallic Eyeliner Pencil - Aqua

I picked up this liner when I was last at Target. I had wanted to try this shade based on some reviews I had seen. I only picked up the Aqua shade so that I could see how I liked it. I tend to have fairly oily skin, especially in the hot summer we are having.  So I typically use gel liners versus pencils since they wear better on me.  The only pencils I have found so far that are great on wear are the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils.  Well....mover over UD, looks like you have some Milani competition!  I love this pencil!


The aqua color is amazing! Just a beautiful and bright shade of blue. it really stands out especially against tan skin.  I would suggest this color to anyone, especially if you are not shy and can wear bright, bold colors.  The photos I attached do not do it any justice. It looks almost green in the pix but it is really a true aqua blue color.  It is slightly metallic, but not a full metal liner.

It applies very smooth and creamy but sets quickly, you do have enough time to blend though.  It lasts for a good 8 hours without any creasing or smudging. It is a really impressive and long-wearing formula.  I even tried to take it off in the shower with my regular face soap and I still had to go back with my Almay eye makeup remover pads.  It has a nice package, very sleek looking. The color is true to what it looks like, not watered down at all.


Sorry for the crappy pix. I don't have my camera and had to use my cell phone :(


I bought mine at Target, but I can also find it at CVS. You can also check out the Milani site: http://www.milanicosmetics.com/p-74-liquif-eye-metallic-eyeliner-pencil.aspx
