The Cozy Flare

I am a matte lipstick Fan and who would not be! As they give you the most amazing finish, making lips more defined. Though if you are one like me who wears matte lipstick on a daily basis would know the struggles of scrubbing your lips almost every second day as the lipstick gets settled between the line gap of lips consequently making them look dry and chapped. Hence, this time I gave a try to a non-matte lipstick by the brand Milani, recommended to me by a friend.
Milani has both matte and non-matte range; their matte range has more mauve, brown and nude colors wherein, the non-matte range has different shades of pinks, reds and vibrant orange.



Price: This lipstick retails for 770 INR buy here

Brand Claims:

• Infused with nourishing vitamins A and C.
• With vibrant colors for all occasions, Color Statement Lipstick feels as good on the lips as it looks.
• Moisturizing and highly pigmented.
• Cruelty free products.

My experience: 

I was a little skeptical about the finish as I have never been a fan of glossy lipsticks. I have mixed feelings about this one.
It has a texture you will not get in any other non-matte lipstick its glossy in the beginning but gives a color stain like lip stains.
The staying power is lesser as expected. It hardly stays on the lips for 4 hrs. It does transfer while eating or drinking.
 The only thing I liked about it its light weight and moisturizes your lips, that's what you expect from a non-matte lipstick. It's a good option when you want to make your lips look glossier. You actually would not need a gloss with this one. "But but but; not to forget this is a Cruelty-free Brand. It's not tested on animals.

Milani has both the matte and non matte range.



Pros:

• Moisturizing
• Smells Good
• Cruelty Free  
• Glossy

If you are a glossy lipstick fan or want to try one then go for it. But a matte lipstick lover may not like it I would suggest you to go for the matte range with same brand !!

Lakme has recently introduced a new lipstick range in their 9to5 Collection. These lipsticks are already getting popular due to the fact that it has Primer in it. So you don't have to prime your lips with this lipstick. Secondly, the Bright Colors in the range are getting all the attention.
Although the colors are more towards Reds, Oranges & Browns, despite that they still have 30 shades in this range.
