Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Black Cherry: Swatches and Review

Hi Pretty Pandas! Milani Color Statement Lipsticks are all the rage right now because they come in a wide range of colors, are cheap at $5.49 a pop, and wear well. I decided to go adventurous and pick up one of the darkest shades! 

 Milani Black Cherry looks like a blackened purple in the tube, but don't let the color of the bullet put you off. This is a pretty, deep raspberry shade that is perfect for a glamorous going out look. There is no taste to this lipstick and a very faint sugary smell. It lasts about 3 hours if you prep well. I suspect it would be longer with a lip liner. 

 

The most interesting thing about this lipstick is how it creates ombre lips without any fuss. Literally one swipe of this and a smush of your lips together and you get this pretty look. Layering the lipstick will further result in true to swatch lips.

 

This is a better example of a little deeper look I achieved with the lipstick. Because the lipstick is so hydrating and a little slippery, the graduated effect almost comes naturally, and I would suggest a lip liner because you can see it feathers ever so slightly (or use a lip brush for more precise application.

 

All in all I feel very vampy when I where this, and I love the look I can get without any crazy mixing or ombre tutorials, which was a hidden surprise. I am happy with my purchase, but I would look carefully for a Color Statement that suits you, as this one might be a bit daunting for some.

 

Which shades of Milani Color Statement have you tried?

Savannah Bee Co. Lip Tint

I love buying fun products when I travel. A review on this one has taken me a while because I visited Georgia about 2 months ago, but better late than never!

The Savannah Bee Company was a cute little store that I found. They sell the most delicious honey, skin products, and lip products. All are natural and organic.

This particular one is called 'Tupelo Honey Shimmer', Tupelo being the smell/type of honey infused in this dark tinted balm. It is sweet and earthy at the same time. The smell is honestly the best part of these products.

On skin it swatches a rich, coppery brown with a hint of red. The brown is a little less noticeable on lips.

These taste great, and feel lovely on lips. So comfortable to wear and the shimmer and tint are just extras!

Interested in checking out what they have to offer? Click here. Their website is gorgeous! Or if you are in Savannah, Georgia -- stop by!

Final Thoughts: You may not have one of these stores around the corner, but they are worth the look!

Price: 9/10
Staying Power: 8/10
Packaging: 9/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Quality/Branding: 10/10

Total: 45/50 = A- = Happy Panda!
