Are you following me on Snapchat yet? Please say yes. I mean, I don’t want you to lie but you know how I promised to do more videos in 2016? Well, they’re happening.
But only on Snapchat. HA!
I mean, seriously…unless you’ve done it yourself, you have no idea how much goes into producing a decent video. The lighting. The sound. The script. The camera adjustments. The shooting. The editing. The uploading. Who has time for that? I mean, people who get paid for it, I guess. That’s no fun for me. But Snapchat? Quick, easy, done.
I need these kind of things in my life.
I say that to say anytime I get sent new products or purchase something fabulous, I’ll do a showcase on Snapchat. These are fun because you can ask me any questions and I’ll answer them almost immediately. I don’t always save these videos so they are usually only up for 24 hours. Such was the case with these Milani Amor Matte Metallic Lip Cremes.
Longest name ever, I know but wooooowsers! Milani so graciously sent these over to me and they’re fabulous.
Priced at $8.99, Milani has given us their unique spin on the ever so popular liquid lipstick. Reasons why theirs might be better than the rest…
- This metallic shimmer? It’s bright but not in-yo-face and it just pops!
- Creamy and moisturizing. So yes, it does feel a bit dry but not AS dry as most liquid lipsticks.
- Fabulous color range but I would loooove to see a red.
- Affordable. I know $8.99 seems a bit steep for Milani but it is a way better price than some of these other liquid lipsticks that we’ve seen.
- Long-lasting. I did try and wear one for 16 hours and while it didn’t last that long, it was still noticeable after at least 10 hours. I’m impressed.
I loved some more than hours and of course, it was the purple (Raving Matte). There isn’t a purple lip product that I don’t love. All purple everything all day and every day.
You know the drill with these mattes. You’ve got to make sure your lips are nicely smooth and hydrated. Anything less than that and all of the cracking, chappiness and unsightly thangs that happen on our lips will show. And show WELL. Some shades are a bit frosty for my complexion but I know that there will be at least 2-3 favorites that beauty lovers will feel like they have to scoop up!

Pure Mattness, Pretty Problematic, Dramatic Diva, Dramatic Addict,
Cinematic Kiss, Raving Matte
Automatic Touch is the most wearable shade and is my favorite after that purple stunner.
So…check these out, will ya? Would love to know what you think! You can get extra deets about them here.
Are you on the liquid lipstick
bandwagon or naw?

Thanks so much, lovely! Have you tried these yet?
I haven’t tried these yet. But I love NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick. They also have some metallic lip creams out that I need to try also. The Milani lip colors look lovely, but run of the mill colors. I sometimes like different colors like black or blue or deep dark purples or reds, and NYX fills the bill.
Oh yes, if you love those non-traditional colors, NYX is IT! I purchased a dark blue and funky purple from them at The Makeup Show NYC. Looooove them!
Beautiful swatches! There look great, I always love Milani. I feel like they have a bit more of a luxury feel for drugstore makeup lol. If that makes sense. What’s your snapchat name? I’ll just try clumpsofmascara … xo
I feel the same way about Milani. Their products always seem so luxe to me. And yep, it’s just ClumpsOfMascara. Woohoo!
I want them all!!! I have yet to buy a liquid lippie. The four that I have were from subscription boxes and I am here for ’em.
Aren’t they great? And they’re perfect in pinch!
Can you tell us their names in the swatches above?
So forgot to do that! Sorry about that. I’ve edited the post:

Oh, I’m crossing my fingers that you’ll be able to get ahold of them this season!
OMG Matte metallic?! YES PLEASE. These look great! $9 is a little more expensive than I expect from Milani so I’ll wait til I can catch them on sale.
Good idea! You know Milani is always giving us great sales!
