Milani Uptown Mauve Color Statement Lipstick: Review+Swatches

Lipstick is an amazing thing, and when done right it is fabulous! I have heard so many good things about these Milani lipsticks. I picked this up a few weeks ago, and it made it into my top 5 lipsticks post on Instagram(budgetmakeupbeauty). This line of lipsticks only cost around $5 each, and as  for the quality it is hard to believe!

  • Unique purple-pink
  • A non season related color
  • Lux gold packaging
  • No bad things to say, other than can be hard to locate this brand(for me)

There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonable to you (I just hope Mac doesn't rais…
