WORTH IT or THROW IT: MILANI COSMETICS COLOR STATEMENT LIPSTICK REVIEW — F e l i c c i n e

5 min readJun 28, 2020

I was just window shopping on Watson Singapore and thinking to replace my old lipstick to new one, meaning gonna try new brand but different shade and finishing. I tried to replace my matte lipstick to satin lipstick, because I am not fond of matte lipstick and also the trend of having your lips wearing matte is not something you wanna do now.

so, I stuck with either L’Oreal or Milani and I thought why not buy this new brand that just recently launched in Singapore. I like Milani for quite longtime. It is a good drugstore makeup brand but it just too expensive in Singapore, if I compare with the quality that matches with L’Oreal and the USD price, it doesn’t seems worth it.

I know that girls in Singapore probably trying this brand after influencer promote it but still I suggest you to ask someone to buy when they visit US, it’s way cheaper.

Color Statement lipstick gives you lip color you’ll live for! Milani knows that the best way to make an entrance is by making a statement — that’s why our Color Statement Lipstick is available in a daring range of vibrant colors, ranging from pretty pinks to radiant reds. Infused with nourishing vitamins A and C, Color Statement Lipstick feels as good on the lips as it looks. Grace your face with statement-making color that will have your lips speaking volumes.

Running late and need a quick way to make your look pop? These bold lipsticks work wonders on a face with minimal makeup. Apply Color Statement Lipstick from your Cupid’s bow outward to the edge of the lips. Repeat the movement for your bottom lip and firmly press lips together. Blend color over the surface of the top and bottom lip by gently smacking lips together to achieve a striking lip color.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

The quality of Milani is never less even for Singapore, normally beauty product will try to reduce their quality by 1–3% and import it to South East Asia, because purchasing power is different so they have to adapt to it, in order to enter the market.

The statement lipstick delivers really pigmented and smooth finishing, as you can see on my selfie, my lips turned plump and attractive looking. My co-worker even praises the colour for 43 pretty natural.

Of course, this lipstick has satin finishing that needs to be retouched after you drink or eating but there is a trick to make your lipstick stay in your lips. Try using your teeth when eating instead slurping with your lips, drink like a ladylike.

The price for this lippies is just $5.00. (+/-), and I think it is considerable really cheap given the quality is way better than L’Oréal. I planned to buy all the available color in Singapore and try it. I will try all different color since I successfully makes my upper lips a bit plump.
