Milani Sangria Lipstick First Impression/Review | TheMakeupDiaries

Hello everyone!! I'm here with another first impression/review. With Fall approaching fast, I want to get ready for Fall makeup! I've never really been into the dark lips and bold winged liner but this year that seems to change. I want to start getting into that trend and I'm getting ready early because I'm so excited! Since Fall is just around the corner, I wanted to experiment with different products and looks so I came up with a list of lipsticks I want to buy sometime soon. I was at Superstore about 2 weeks ago and I thought I would start off by finding an affordable dark lipstick. I didn't want to go all out and buy a bunch of expensive dark lipsticks and end up not liking them. While I was there I was swatching tons and tons of lipsticks and I found the perfect one. I've always heard about Milani's lipsticks and that day I bought my first one! YAY! It just so happened it was a dark bold colour. I picked up Milani's lipstick in Sangria. I heard about that particular lipstick in a video before and I was just so attracted to the colour. Hope you guys enjoy!!

Price: I purchased this lipstick at Superstore when I was in Kelowna recently! I bought it for $6.99. The price ranges depending on where you live and where you buy it but in my opinion, 6.99 is a very affordable price for a lipstick.
Packaging: The packaging on this lipstick is simple, a plain gold colour. Although it isn't the worst packaging out there I wish it was more special and bold. I guess you get what you pay for!! I do like how you can get an idea of the colour on the bottom.
Product: After wearing this lipstick a few times, I've noticed a few things. First of all, the lipstick is scented. Personally I'm not a huge fan of scented lipsticks, but this one I can tolerate. I am horrible at describing scents.. I think it smells sort of fruity?! It smells pretty good if you ask me. The lipstick applies easily and is not completely drying but not moisturizing either. It's somewhere in the middle. I've noticed it doesn't stay on all day but I like how it leaves behind a tint on your lips. Lastly, I am disappointed in the colour pay off. I bought this lipstick because is was a dark magenta/purple. I expected it to be very dark.. exactly how it looked but when I applied it on my lips it was not what I expected. It was WAY lighter than I thought:(( I still like the colour though!!! It's also very buildable which is a plus.
Rating: 4/5
Overall Impression: There are many things I like about this product and only a few things I dislike. I really like how affordable the product is, how it smells, the tint it leaves behind, the colour and finish of the lipstick. I dislike how plain the packaging is and how the colour wasn't as dark and bold as I expected it to be. Overall, I think it is a pretty good lipstick. I don't think I would purchase another one but I'm happy I have at least one from this brand/line. I am completely sold on my MAC lipsticks and my YSL one... there is like nothing that can compare to them!!! Anyways I hope you guys found this somewhat helpful... look forward for more posts coming up:) love u guys
