Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Lipstick - 391- Elizabeth Pink

     Hello,

     First things first: I think that the Estee Lauder Lipsticks are seriously underrated. This has been one of my first purchases of a high end lipstick and I am still loving it.
     The color below is a peachy pink, it is a cream and does not have shimmer or any glitter in it. They do have other colors that are frosty/shimmery Like Tiramisu. They are a bit pricey ($26) but just look at that packaging. It is stunning! The cap is made of metal. It is quite heavy.
     It is a light to medium coverage. It feels wonderful on my lips and stays moisturized long after I remove it. I find that the moisture and finish of these lipsticks makes my lips look youthful.

If you have one, what do you think?

Milani HD Advanced Lip Color - 111 Cotton Candy

   
    This one is a very shimmery/frosty baby pink. The packaging is beautiful and sleek.It reminds me of the Dior Rouge Serum ones. If you look at them, with the distinction that they have different stamp design they are the same. I don't know about the actual products similarities but I am def. going to get one from Dior to see now :-)

      The Milani HD has a nice candy scent. Its not that long lasting though because it is more like a lip butter or balm more than a lipstick but it is moisturizing. I personally really like it. I have purchased three backups because in the summer time it looks very nice on a tanned skin. 

   It goes for about $10 at CVS. I think that they are retiring them though :-( because I found some at the Dollar store and I bought all of them. hehe ... So, look for them there because they are $1!  It looks like Milani has made changes to allot of their products as I discovered recently. I hope they will keep the liquify eyeliner because it is one of my absolute favorites. 

   So if you like shimmery lip balms give this one a try :-) 

   XOXO Ralu
