Milani: ++Milani Fandom Unified++

[Goat Goat Etc.]

I cannot seem to find one long standing thread about Milani. I see there are LE or singular product threads (I am guilty of creating one for lipsticks) . I'd like to start this thread in the hope that there is one singular and unified place to talk about Milani products whether they're perm or LE. I just love them and want to talk about them with you good folks.

So as soon as the colorful jumbo eyeshadow sticks and all the old nail polishes started going on clearance at the tail of 2014, I was like...




I'd like to just start out with the 2015 reset I saw at my local HEB (in Texas). It's a tad more expanded than what CVS has had the past year or so. This is really awesome because HEB does coupons every other month and even without them makeup is still cheaper.

Rose Blushes are now a perm!


N/p is no longer a CVS exclusive.


Maybe this is new pink added to the cream l/s? Catwalk Pink.


Those matte l/s standies were just an intro, matte lippies are perm!


The Bella e/s are perm! And the nudie e/s pencils are no longer exclusive to CVS.


Those foil liners are perm and there's a new retractable kajal pencil.


This made me the HAPPIEST!
Milani now partners with the same manufacturer who produces the same sharper for Anastasia, NYX, Essence, Urban Decay, Sephora, Nars---name anyone. They all seem to peddle this same sharpener at drugstore and luxury price points now. Milani is carrying this sharpener at the second cheapest above Essence but below NYX pricing.


Since the sharpener is a dupe, let me mention that some NYX, Anastasia, and Milani products are all coming from the same manufacturer too and have the same ingredient list verbatim. Look familiar?

Spotted this standie at my local HEB, LE lipglosses with a lot of sparkle..

Then this two-for.

So happy to see that the matte lippies are permanent!!

Those Rose Blushes are pretty awesome. My fav is their luminoso blush. Such pigmentation and for under $10. Just wish there was a store closer to me w a decent Milani collection!

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Finally Milani is catching the eyebrow gel/pomade fever! Saw these in new HEB Plus the other day. And there was coupon for a $1 off going on too but I didn't pick these up. The darkest shade is lacking in darkness for me. I'm gonna sit by and see if some people make it work. My camera ran out of space but just to the right was a standie for new matte lip shades--really, really, really, deep burgundies and browns and a company of reds and one orange color. And then the three new Rose Blushes on another standie.

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Alright yeah, no. Those brow gels from Milani are not WOC friendly the darkest one in dark brown didn't even begin to be brown or dark. But the racially ambiguous woc model on the standie should have informed me this wasn't going to work. Returning. Luckily got to take pics of the new Milani teaser standies this go around though. Winter reset is gonna be interesting.

I found the new matte lipsticks at Walgreens. I purchased Matte Flirty. I couldn't justify buying the others because I have those shades already just made by a different company.

I was eyeing that one really hard! It is the perf dark, dark burgundy and I love Milani's formula for lipsticks. But I have something similar to it that I need to use.

Yea I saw those too a few hrs ago but I although I love the new Milani matte formula I have pretty much all of those those colors already in other brands that barely get used... There seems to be a Whirl dupe not sure of the name. Matte Luxe is a beautiful orange but of course I haven't even used Smashbox's Fireball Matte yet lol... There were a few berries n wines too but I rarely use Smashbox's Matte Femme Fatale or MAC Smoked Purple... The 2 reds were beautiful too but Nars Dragon Girl, Ruby Woo and Stunner need my love lol... The formula is unbelievably comfy and moist... Maybe during a sale I can be swayed lol

Haha well I've been wearing Ruby more because I got the holiday red lip bag and the lipstick is creamy, nothing like my older tube which was dryyy as the desert... Smoked Purple is just gorgeous and I'm gonna gloss her over again for a softer summer look

 

[DILLIGAF]

Ok now you ladies have me on the hunt for the new Milani Matte lippies. I need them in my life. YESTERDAY!!!!

Girl trust me it took all my strength not to buy atleast one... The formula is INCREDIBLBLY comfortable on the lips!!! The pigmentation is BANANAS!!! They definitely give higher end cosmetics companies a reason to panic haha... I could have easily bought 4 but they weren't on sale this week so it was a pass for me... Besides like I've already said (trying to convince myself again lol), I need to give my other lippies some love... But the 3 wines shades uuuggghhh, it was pure torture having to walk away lol

I live in Wine/Burgundy shades. In the summer, in the fall, in the winter. So I um happened to be at Walgreen's about an hour ago and they just happened to be putting out the colors. I got Matte Love,,Matte Flirty, and Matte Fearless. I'm thinking about going back for Matte Lux and Matte Iconic. I really don't need more lipsticks but when did that ever stop me before.

Absolutely. I will do the swatches. Post them here as well.

Edit: The bottom one is Matte Flirty.

 

[pinkcrush]

I'll take them all haha thanx girl

 

[DILLIGAF]

I'll take them all haha thanx girl

I'm taking Matte Love back. It looks too much like Matte Flirty. I'd rather have Matte Flirty the color has more depth
