Found a set of the Milani's at my Duane Reade. I'm going to hit up a few more in the city to get extras for people!

They're very pretty but not an exact dupe for the summer collection. milani Topaz is lighter than BGRR and Milani Ruby pulls more red as opposed to Heaux pulling more berry/wine. The Milani Amethyst is an exact dupe pretty much. Maybe a tad bit darker? And I'm NC50 for reference

I agree. I was able to swatch them, and since I have similar colors already...I don't need them. If I can sell them in the CB I will, if not back to the store they go!

You're welcome!
Not much...only the finish really. RRB is more matte.

Thanks for that review. I have now scratched two off my list. I'll just get the Milani Enchanted Amethyst lipstick. Does it seen cheap like a drugstore brand or is it a decent formula?

I agree. I do see the difference with Heaux and Enchanted Ruby.

Amethyst and RRB are pretty much exact. Like if they took a DNA test it'd be matched 99.99999999% lol. Some reviewers are saying it Amethyst pulls a little bit darker but eh. Now Heaux and Ruby are different. Same family but Heaux is this beautiful, luscious, berry/wine matte for the gods lipstick (don't mind me I just love me some Heaux) Ruby is a pretty color but on me it pulls more red than berry and well...Lol
The finish is a decentformula. Milani is actually a really good brand so if you werent able to try out the Riri's these are a good addition to the collection regardless

Thank you. I actually have Heaux plus a BU so I am good there. I only have one RRB so I will try to find the Enchanted Amethyst. I will pass on Topaz. I have RiRi Nude and have never been a fan of it. I've tried to make it work and I've given up on it.

YES! Saw a pic in Instagram. The swatches look promising.
Really? I love RiRi Nude. Great color. I use Stone to line my lips and it is gorgeous.

Man I respect the hustle but not like that... $45 for drugstore products is ridiculous!!!
But hey if people will pay it...*shrug* I would not be willing to pay extra until I searched and searched and searched.
As it is now I have only checked one walgreens. I want to check out a few more but if you're posting in the clearance bin I might be interested! I *think* I'm only mostly interested in the amethyst...perhaps the nude one as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try it with the Stone liner. I hate for the lipstick to go to waste.

Bummer. I'm sorry to hear that. Would you care to expound upon it. What didn't you like about it? If you had to buy it again, would you?

Glad to hear that you liked them everyone has been saying that Enchanted Amethyst is their favorite. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Did you get it because you wanted a dupe for RiRi Boy?

YES! I didn't get RiRi boy when it came out cause I thought it was a dupe for Up the Amp which I already have. It was too late to get it by the time I realized it wasn't. Now I just need to find a good dupe for Pleasurebomb
