New Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss

Wearing the Milan shade


I was sent the new Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss for review. It's marketed as a 'shimmer' lip gloss, but really it's more of a foil. When I first opened the tube and saw the product on the wand I thought 'uh oh, I might not like this'. The product looked like it might have a little too much texture on the lips as the glitter isn't fine enough to be considered a shimmer powder (such as what I see in most shimmer glosses). 
Luckily this lip gloss is actually really quite fun. It's not gritty whatsoever, and it's not sticky or goopy. It glides easily onto the lips, and the consistency isn't overly thick. A little bit goes a long way; just one swipe will have you covered. The glosses are moisturizing and don't leave the lips feeling dry.

I preferr to wear these lip glosses alone and not over any lip color. I found that if I tried to layer them over lipstick that the glitter no longer reflected light, and instead it looked like I had crumbs on my lips. The Venice shade is quite sheer and wore almost like a clear gloss; the foil flecks are certainly there, but on my lips it looked like a super shiny gloss (think MAC glass of the early 2000's). The Milan shade is more of a taupe, and gave my lips a bit of neutral color. Both are absolutely beautiful and perfect for day or night.
Overall I liked these! They aren't sticky, they didn't form a ring on the inside of my lips, and the foil flecks lasted long after the gloss wore off. If you're thinking of giving these a try you can find them at CVS starting at $4.99
