00:02 Coffee break with me, woo!
00:22 Hi guys!
00:23 Do you guys like my mug?
00:25 This is a special mug that my friend
00:28 Jess Love for Lacquer sent me.
00:30 And this poor mug has been through hell and back.
00:34 It arrived in pieces and I was able to operate on it
00:39 for a while.
00:40 It took me like 12 hour surgery to put it back together.
00:44 But it's nice and alive and still holds my coffee,
00:47 which is the most important thing.
00:48 So thank you, Jess.
00:49 So that's my little story for this video.
00:52 So if you can't already tell,
00:54 this video is a review on the Milani Lip Intense
00:56 Liquid Colors.
00:57 The one that I'm wearing now as I speak to you
01:00 is Pink Rave or number two.
01:02 Let's start off by saying that these are definitely
01:06 on trend lip colors for spring and summer
01:09 because you guys know that colors are unbashful
01:13 in your face and bright for these two seasons
01:16 that are coming up, or the warmer seasons.
01:18 And these don't cease to impress me.
01:21 They are amazing, they're incredible,
01:23 they're pigmented, they're rich, they're easy to apply.
01:26 But I will tell you this, these will end up
01:30 on your elbows, on your eyelashes, on your hair,
01:32 on your shoes, on your lover, everywhere
01:35 because they do bleed a lot.
01:37 If you do not have an anti-feathering pencil,
01:40 do not even try and use these
01:42 because they will end up all over your face.
01:45 So that's not fun,
01:47 especially when it's a really bright color.
01:49 If it was a nude and it bled, who cares?
01:52 No big deal.
01:53 But when it's this color or a red,
01:55 you definitely don't want this all over your face.
01:58 But the good thing is that Milani obviously
02:00 thought it through, and even the packaging on these
02:03 says that it's recommended to use
02:05 with the anti-feathering pencil.
02:07 I have a dupe video on this pencil
02:09 that I will link down below so you guys can watch it.
02:11 And basically this is just like a clear wax
02:13 that you apply on the outline of your lips,
02:16 on the outer outline of your lips,
02:18 and then fill it in with these colors
02:20 and it shouldn't bleed or feather out.
02:24 I know some people ask me, "What does bleed mean?"
02:26 Bleed means when the color runs out
02:29 the fine lines of your lips or the sides of your lips
02:31 and then it just kind of gets everywhere
02:32 and it gets messy and you look like Krusty the Clown.
02:36 Nobody looks pretty like that.
02:37 So you definitely want to invest in a pencil like this.
02:40 I think this pencil's like $4.
02:41 These Milani lip colors can be found
02:46 anywhere they sell Milani at drugstores.
02:48 And I think they retail for around $6.
02:51 The collection has four colors.
02:53 The first color is called Red Extreme
02:58 and it's just a classic hot cherry.
03:01 The second color or number two is Pink Rave
03:06 and that's the color that I'm wearing today.
03:09 Color number three is Fiery Coral
03:13 and it is not coral at all.
03:15 It's basically like a fluorescent hot pink.
03:18 And then the last color in the collection,
03:20 the one that I was the most excited about
03:22 and the hardest one to find is the purple one
03:25 or number four, Violet Addict.
03:28 So there's four colors in the collection.
03:30 The best part is that Milani's kind of catching on
03:33 to the drugstore abuse that happens
03:36 and all of these lip colors come in a cardboard
03:39 and plastic packaging.
03:41 So it's sealed and no one is going to put their dirty lips
03:44 on your product before you buy it.
03:45 So that's always good.
03:47 It is a little bit pricier for Milani's normal price range.
03:52 Usually their lip products are a little bit cheaper
03:54 but it is a good product.
03:56 So definitely look for it when it's on sale.
03:58 Buy one, get one half off or 40% off
04:00 and you can get a really good deal on these.
04:02 But they do bleed.
04:03 I did show you guys some lip swatches at the beginning
04:07 but I'm also gonna show you guys a closeup swatch on my arm.
04:10 My super straight, perfect swatches that I do on my arm.
04:14 Of course I'm being sarcastic
04:15 because my swatches aren't very good.
04:17 Welcome to my face.
04:19 So the packaging looks like this.
04:21 It's just a flat kind of like lip gloss tube or container.
04:26 It reminds me a little bit of the Hourglass
04:29 long lasting lipsticks that they have
04:33 where it's a little bit ovally.
04:35 I like these because they're not round
04:37 and so they don't go everywhere.
04:39 You know what I mean?
04:40 Like they don't roll around.
04:40 If you lay 'em on your vanity or whatever,
04:42 they're gonna stay.
04:43 They're not gonna go anywhere.
04:44 So it is a thin packaging.
04:46 It comes with .2 ounces,
04:49 which I'm not sure if that's a lot for a lip gloss
04:52 but let's be real.
04:54 It takes you a really long time to use up a lip gloss.
04:56 So it is not a lip gloss, excuse me.
04:59 It is a liquid lip color or liquid lipstick.
05:02 It does stain your lips a little bit
05:04 but it's not a staining product.
05:06 When you open it, the part that opens is this gold part.
05:11 So you twist it and the actual container itself is solid.
05:16 It's white so you can't see how much product
05:18 you have in there.
05:19 It comes with a flat doe foot applicator,
05:23 the one that is furry but flat on both sides
05:28 if you guys know what I'm talking about.
05:30 So I like these better because they hold more product
05:33 when you're going to apply.
05:35 So you don't have to keep going in and out as often.
05:38 The other thing I did notice about these products,
05:40 but I have that problem myself
05:43 because my mouth and teeth are so big
05:45 is that it does get on your teeth.
05:47 So you want to make sure that you take off
05:48 that excess product with a napkin
05:50 or a paper towel and Kleenex or whatever.
05:52 So again, this is number one, Red Extreme
05:55 and this is the color here on my arm.
05:59 So it's basically just a classic red.
06:01 If you were to open a Crayola box and you take out red,
06:04 this is the same color, basically red.
06:07 The next color, number two, is the one I'm wearing
06:10 and that's Pink Rage.
06:11 It is kind of like a, I don't know, magenta, hot pink.
06:15 It reminds me a little bit of Girl About Town from MAC.
06:19 That's that color right there.
06:21 It's really pretty.
06:22 It's definitely my favorite of the four
06:24 but this one is close.
06:26 This is number three, Fiery Coral.
06:28 When you look at it in the tube,
06:29 it looks a little inconspicuous.
06:31 You're like, oh, well, whatever.
06:32 It's just like a dusty pink.
06:34 Uh-uh, girlfriend, it is intense.
06:36 It is neon fluorescent.
06:38 Look at that.
06:38 Does that even match?
06:40 The product inside does not even match
06:42 the color of the tube.
06:44 And that's this color right here.
06:46 How bright is that?
06:49 It is definitely as bright as it looks.
06:52 The last one in the collection, the hardest one to find,
06:54 I actually had to go to probably like four or five CVSs
06:58 here in Dallas to find the purple one.
07:00 It is tricky to find and it wasn't a letdown
07:04 but it wasn't as like, oh my God,
07:05 life-changing as I thought it was going to be.
07:08 This is the purple shade.
07:10 It's almost like a purple that pulls a little pink.
07:13 And that is right here.
07:16 It reminds me of a MAC color.
07:18 I just don't remember which one.
07:20 So that's definitely a violet that pulls pink.
07:24 So depending on your undertones as well
07:26 or the color of your lips,
07:27 that might pull really pink on you.
07:29 So that is it for this Milani Liquid Lip Intense review.
07:34 I really hope you guys enjoyed it.
07:36 I like to do lip swatches for you guys
07:38 because I know it looks better on the mouth
07:41 than on the arm but sometimes you gotta forgive me
07:44 because I'll have chapped lips or whatever
07:46 and I just, I don't have the time.
07:48 But today I did it for you because I love you so much.
07:52 These are lip colors that I would definitely recommend
07:55 for those of you that like pops of color,
07:58 really intense lip products.
08:01 If you're familiar with anti-feathering pencils
08:04 or ways to keep lip products from feathering,
08:08 definitely for you.
08:09 That is it for this review.
