Milani Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipstick 

I have an obsession with all things Matte, matte foundation, matte lipstick, matte eyeshadow! So, when I went to Walgreens a week ago, I just grabbed all things with the word matte on them. I went into Walgreens with the intention of picking up the new Milani Lippies since I completely missed the boat on their limited edition versions. Each display has two lipsticks per color. There are 8 colors in total. I grabbed Matte Naked and Matte Blissful but I am still on the hunt for Matte Confidence. The good news is that they are now on sale on the Milani website and you can get free shipping with orders over 25 dollars here! 

Here are the two colors I chose. The packaging is the same sleek gold tube as the regular color statement line. My lippies did not have a safety seal on them which might be a cause for concern for some. But! you can order online if you want to make sure no one tampered with your lipstick. 

Here are the lipsticks uncapped with Matte Blissful on the Left and Matte Naked on the Right. Matte Naked has to be my favorite of the two. It is a great every day color that can go with multiple eye shadow looks. Matte Blissful is a little too pink for my particular liking but I don't completely dislike it. 

Matte Naked is a dusty rose nude color while Matte Blissful is a cooler toned light pink. The formula of these matte lipsticks is fantastic! It is not drying like others i.e. Wet n' Wild and it is so comfortable on the lips. The color payoff from each of these is equally fantastic since I only have to swipe my lips twice to get a good even coverage of color on the lip. These do have a scent similar to MAC lipsticks(vanilla marshmallow)  but a little more subtle. I don't mind the scent, I actually like it better than the weird watermelon cucumber scent of the regular Milani line. Wear time is moderate since it does not claim to be long wearing. You can get a good 4 hours of wear with these before needing to reapply. 

I recommend these lipsticks 100 percent!  At under 6 dollars, you are getting an awesome formula and amazing color payoff. I've already worn these so many times and love the matte look they give off. Unlike the L'oreal liquid lipsticks that I reviewed earlier, these Milani Lipsticks are truly matte and on trend. 5 stars out of five for the Milani Moisture Matte Lipsticks!
