Milani Bedazzled Collection Lipsticks

~purchased by me~

Along with the gel eye liners from Milani’s Bedazzled Collection, I also purchased all three lipsticks that came with it. I only have one other lipstick from Milani and I have positive experience with it.

Some observations…

• totally digging the packaging, beautiful gold tube with a sturdy clear cover so you can see which shade you got without having to take off the cover…perfect!
• they don’t do anything for my lips (they don’t moisturize nor dry out my lips)
• they are long lasting, didn’t really transfer on the straw I was drinking on
• Enchanted Topaz and Enchanted Amethyst are both mattes while Enchanted Ruby has a sheen to it

01 ENCHANTED TOPAZ

 

When I first looked at the tube as I twisted it up, dismay came over me. It looks like it will wash out when worn on my lips. I was mistaken. It’s actually the perfect nude.

02 ENCHANTED AMETHYST

 

For my nude loving self, Enchanted Amethyst is scary. It does not look wearable but this color is super trendy for Fall, so again, why not? Click HERE to see what it looks like on me and vote 😉

03 ENCHANTED RUBY

 

Enchanted Ruby looks so dark on the tube but is actually a rich wine red once applied. It’s beautiful, would suit a wide array of skin tones. Wears comfortable on the lips too.

Here are the three lipsticks in the collection…

Beautiful colors in this collection, right?

Milani Constellation Gel Eye Liners

~purchased by me~

I saw these new items from Milani and they look interesting so I thought “why not?” Personally, I prefer pencil liners but I’m always willing to try something new and/or interesting.

This product claims “vibrant color, long wearing, smudge proof and precision brush applicator”. You can create a classic cat eye or a smoldering smoky look.

The back reads…

Long wearing, smooth-gliding gel eyeliner. Perfect for creating thin to thick lines or smoky looks.

To Use:
*Gently press the tip of the applicator into the pot to load color. Top off excess to avoid fall out.
*Starting at the inner corners, dot along the upper lash line and wiggle the brush to blend.

FOR THE CLASSIC CAT EYE:
Slightly extend the end of the liner past the lash line.

FOR A SMOLDERING SMOKY LOOK:
Use brush to blend product upward and away from the lash line. Soften edges using finger.

INGREDIENTS: ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE, ISOHEXADECANE, CALCIUM SODIUM BOROSILICATE, POLYETHYLENE, STEAROXY DIMETHICONE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, ISODODECANE, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, CERA ALBA (BEESWAX), COPERNICIA CERIFERA CERA (CARNAUBA WAX), SILICA, PHENOXYETHANOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, ISOPENTYLDIOL, SYNTHETIC FLOURPHLOGOPITE, HYDROGENATED POLYBUTENE, MICA, TIN OXIDE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891), IRON OXIDE (CI 77499). +/- MAY CONTAIN: FERRIC FERROCYANIDE (CI77510).

Before I continue with pictures and swatches of all the eyeliners, here are some things I noticed:

• I realized that all the shimmer and glitter is just overspray as soon as I dig in to get some product. So I have included a picture of the product with a portion without overspray so you can see what it looks like underneath. I am actually happy with this because it means that I can actually use this.
• The brush is actually useable and has a nice handle length. The brush can effectively make a thin and thick line.
• It is a dream to apply, smooth gliding but it seems like it took forever to start drying. Or maybe because I did not let it dry in layers. Nonetheless, it should not be a problem.
• did not experience fall out
• vibrant color pay off

I will update with more details once I am able to play with all three.

01 ENCHANTED LAPIS

Milani Bedazzled Collection 01 Enchanted Lapis

Enchanted Lapis is a beautiful dark blue. Named after the deep blue semi-precious stone. I do not really gravitate towards using blue on my lids, but this is just too beautiful.

02 ENCHANTED BLACK OPAL

Milani Bedazzled Collection 02 Enchanted Black Opal

Enchanted Black Opal is beautiful and elegant. I would love to wear it as a lid color because of nuances it will give off when light hits it. The finish is not flat at all. It looks like molten lava without the fire. It’s charcoal black with a satin, slightly metallic finish. Truly beautiful.

03 ENCHANTED EMERALD

Enchanted Emerald is also stunning (oh no! I can’t choose a favorite). Just like Black Opal, the finish is a bit complex. It’s not entirely metallic (at least not to me). Another one for those moments when one needs a pop of color. Perfect for fall.

Milani Bedazzled Collection 03 Enchanted Emerald

Now for the brush that’s included in each product. I actually like it. The bristles are firm enough so you can create a thin line if you want to.
