She featured about maybe six or seven different makeup looks in that one video and a few definitely was standing out to me.

Hello Beauties,


Milani was kind enough to send me the browns and naturals new color statement lipsticks, so I had to share swatches with you all. If you know me, I am not a fan of nudes but I think I have found my ultimate favorite nude that doesn't make me look scary and compliments my skin tone. With that being said Milani you have done right by me with this nude color in Teddy Bare... I am in love!!!
Some of the shades are cream, metallic, pearl and shimmer.
The cream shades are Naturally Chic, Nude Creme and Chocolate Berries.
The metallics are Candied Toffees and D'Oro.
The pearls are Dulce Caramelo and Double Espresso.
The shimmer is Bronze Beauty.
Also there are two lip liners with this color section, they are Spice and Cocoa and both are cream texture. Milani has done well with these lipliners, they are super creamy.







Lipsticks L-R: Naturally Chic :: Dulce Caramelo :: Candied Toffees :: D'Oro :: Double Espresso :: Nude Creme :: Teddy Bare :: Bronze Beauty :: Chocolate Berries
Lipliners L-R: Spice :: Cocoa

FOTD: Plum Orchid

Hello Beauties,


I am astonished at how drugstore brands such as Maybelline, Wet n Wild, Covergirl, Milani and Black Radiance... yes Black Radiance are bringing their A game in the makeup world with their products. move over high end such as MUFE, Inglot, YSL, Urban Decay and MAC.
Black Radiance has come with some new lipsticks and I must say I am very impressed that I feel the need like as with Milani to stock up on my favorite colors. You know like what you do when MAC has a limited edition lipstick released that you love and know you'll be pissed off if you don't get two or three back-ups of it. That's the feeling I am getting with these drugstores brands because these items are moving swiftly off the shelves and very hard to find.
