NEW Milani Moisture Matte Lipsticks & Stay Put Brows Spotted at CVS!

Just thought I'd write a quick update of my finds at CVS this evening. The new Milani displays were up, which is strange because none of the stores near me ever put out new products or limited edition collections...especially not early. So, if you were unaware, Milani is expanding their range of Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipsticks! They appear to have added 8 brand new shades, most of which look perfect for Fall and would be fantastic on deeper skin tones as well (shade names and descriptions below pictures). There are also new brow products that mimic the Anastasia DipBrow Pomade potted brow color trend called the Stay Put Brow Color (shade names also after pictures).


I haven't swatched any of the Color Statement Matte Lipstick shades (I only bought Matte Darling - self restraint and all), but judging from the pictures and the caps, I'll do my best to describe the new hues. The shades are from left to right:

Matte Darling (74) - medium slightly rosy pink
Matte Beauty (69) - medium brown-leaning nude
Matte Flirty (71) - very deep wine that almost looks black
Matte Love (73) - very deep brown-based wine that also looks nearly black - may actually be brown
Matte Fearless (70) - this one looks either very deep brown or actually black
Matte Iconic (68) - straight up classic deep red
Matte Kiss (72) - slightly lighter pin-up red
Matte Luxe (75) - slightly muted, bold orange (definitely orange, but not super bright & in-your-face)
Really exciting, though a number of the colors looks really similar! I'm debating doing a swatch post of all of them, but not sure I really want to purchase all 8 shades. We'll see. I'm curious if the deeper shades are as deep and vampy as they appear! I'm also curious just how similar the deeper shades and the reds are to one another, as well as to their prior matte shades. (Slowly convincing myself "must. try. all!")
Moving on the the new Stay Put Brow Color. This appears to be Milani's response to the Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade and all the other similar potted brow products. They have a good range of color options - there are 5 shades, which is respectable in the drugstore price range. They also come with a dual-ended brush and the spoolie actually looks really nice! We'll have to see how it actually performs. So again, here are the colors as pictured from left to right:

Soft Brown (01) - light ash brown to medium brown hair
Natural Taupe (02) - golden blonde to light ash brown hair
Medium Brown (03) - medium brown to chestnut hair
Brunette (04) - chestnut to chocolate brown hair
Dark Brown (05) - chocolate brown to black hair
Hope you're all having a great weekend! Let me know what you're most excited about, and especially what lip color you really want to try. I'm thinking I also need the orange and one of the reds; the rest are just massively intriguing! Anyway, have a good night and I will see you during the week for more typical posts!
