Milani Corallina & Flamingo Pose Review!



Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Flamingo Pose ($5.49)
The Milani Color Statement Lipsticks have incredible lasting power. These lipsticks stay on your lips for about 5-6 hours. I have eaten entire meals wearing this lipstick and there has still been color on my lips. After wearing this lipstick for a few hours, Flamingo Pose does stain the lips. If you do not like lipsticks that stain, these are not for you. The lipstick didn't dry out my lips during the wear time & remained comfortable :) The Milani Color Statement lipsticks are VERY pigmented! The colors are vibrant and really make a statement, just as the name suggests. Plus, it smells like watermelon :)

Milani Baked Blush in Corallina (6.49)

Coralina caught my eye because it's a rather unique shade for a drugstore blush - you find a lot of pinks and peaches, but not a bright coral like this. The color is a pigmented true coral, with silver and orange swirls in the pan. It's very flattering for my skin tone & I would assume it would be flattering on every other skin tone as well :) Initially, upon first close look, I could see chunks of silver glitter that didn't seem very pleasant but I'm so happy I decided to take the risk and buy it. The glitter does show up pretty heavy when swatched on the hand but once I applied it to my face, the glitter is not obvious at all. I end up with just a subtle glow/sheen. As soon as I got the product on my brush & tapped off excess, most of the glitter just kinda falls off and leaves the true color of the blush on your brush. This is a rather pigmented shade so use caution when applying! The brush that comes with it I do not recommend you use, it's too stiff and it'll just leave an awkward streak of red on your cheeks.
