Milan Rowe Lipsticks in Dulce Diva, Viva La Lilac, and Bombshell Review and Swatches

A while back i reviewed some amazing Milan Rowe products. After completely falling in loved with.. well everything! i had to pick up some more. I decided to purchase some beautiful lipsticks one from the intense color line and two from the cream lipstick line. Each lipstick beautiful and vibrant with a great formula to match.



Dulce Diva-
This cream lipstick is so vibrant! Hot pink, highly pigmented and comparable in quality to MAC. This lipstick lasted on my lips for about 5 hours, did not bleed, feather, or show lip flaws. My lips did not feel dry and i loved how bright this lipstick staid. I did not find it to dull during wear. There is no weird scent or after taste. This shade is perfect for girls who love hot pink and don't want to have to build up a color on their lips.





 Viva La Lilac-
This pastel lilac shade part of the intense lip color collection is a beautiful light shade. This lipstick feels like a semi-mat and is highly pigmented. In one swipe you will have full coverage over your lips. This reminds me of a pinker version of D'Lilac by limecrime and is, therefor, more wearable and more flattering for more skin tones. While i love this formula and how it applies because it is light if you have any lip flaws they will show through. My lips were a little flaky before i applied this (i used lip balm but the cold weather and my recent cold has ravaged my lips). I do love this color and how long it lasts (5 hours). No bleeding or feathering (better formula than Limecrime). Is not drying on the lips.





 Bombshell-
Bright orange with gold shimmer undertone. I usually can not pull off a shimmer shade but this orange is just perfect. Against my skin tone it appears a bit red (as do most oranges) so if you have a darker skin tone this will appear more orange and if you have a light skin tone this may appear more red. The gold shimmer makes this lipstick just the right amount of shinny and glowy. Will bring lots of good attention to your lips and is a beautiful fall/summer/spring color. This shade does not bleed, feather, and lasts for about 5 hours. No weird smell or taste. Highly pigmented and formula is comparable in quality to MAC. If you are looking for the perfect orange you have to look no further.



Overall Milan Rowe has amazing lipsticks, lip glosses, pout pastes, shadows, and pigments. If you are looking for perfectly pigmented products in trendy colors with high quality formulas, Milan Rowe is for you!

Milan Rowe Star Light Nights Lip Duo


I have to start this post off by saying, i loved this duo so much that i did not want to stop taking pictures of it. That has never happened! Milan Rowe Star Light Nights Lip Duo includes a Plush Lip Shine in Glam Rock and Intense Color Lipstick in Noire. At first glance this appears to be a yellow glitter gloss and black lipstick, and on their own they are quite pretty but when layered they become a unique, and beautiful combination.

Plush Lip Shine in Glam Rock-
This soft gloss which has a bit of a sugar cookie smell. Pleasant but not over powering, leaves no weird flavor on your lips. This gloss can be applied thick or thin and has a non sticky formula. It looks yellow or gold but is actually clear. This product will moisturize your lips while also making them bling, Use this alone or over lipsticks. The applicator is a brush so you don't have to worry about wiping off your lipstick when applying over it. Just dab and swipe slowly as you go across the lips. Glitter gloss can be grown up with sleek mutli-use products such as this.

Intense Color Lipstick in Noire-
Black lipstick, usually a more Gothic shade, can be very classic and elegant looking. A dramatic and bold shade but beautiful none the less. Say goodbye to streaky black lipsticks, this highly pigmented, non streaky, non bleeding, non waxy, shade will leave you with only the dramatic lips you want and none of the issues. This shade applies semi-matte (in my opinion), and lasts for about 4 hours on the lips after which it gets lighter and lighter. This shade felt soft on my lips and i did not find it drying. It has opaque full coverage.

When you combine both Glam Rock and Noire you get a high gloss high glitter lip look. With the explosion of cosmetic companies offering over priced glitter that you have to dab on your lips only to swatch it fall off, this is a fantastic refreshment. Who wants hard, crusty, dry lips when you can have glossy, glittery, high shine kissable lips?? This duo is completely gorgeous and would look fantastic on any skin tone. A tip though, don't just swipe Glam Rock Across lips, it wont deposit as much glitter. I dabbed and swiped as i went.
