Milani Color Statement Lip Liner in #08 Fuchsia [Review]

A while ago I wanted a true, bright pink lip liner to go with my pink lipsticks, and I settled for this Milani Colour Statement Lip Liner in #08 Fuchsia.

This retails for just $3.99 on the Milani website [but they don't ship internationally I believe - I got mine from Cherry Culture when they had a 40% off discount across their whole site] but I had to pay shipping [plus customs if you place a large order].

It comes in a standard pencil form, and therefore you have to sharpen it.

The packaging matches the colour of the lip liner.

The Color Statement lip liners come in 8 shades and were launched in 2013 [and I believe that they have matching lipsticks]

This lip liner is very very creamy and very very pigmented [as you can see from the swatches below].

Unlike some other drug store brands, this does not tug on the lips and is not drying at all.

And what to say about this shade? 

It is truly gorgeous, and perfect for the upcoming Summer months. 

It is bright but not in your face bright, so those ladies who would like to rock a brighter pink lip, but are scared to go Candy Yum Yum bright, should definitely get this one.

You can definitely just use this on its own, paired with some lipgloss or used as a base for lipsticks.

This Milani lip liner is one of my all time favourite drug store lipliners, highly recommend!

Tony Moly Face Mix Cover Pot Concealer in #01 Light Beige [Review]

A while back I finished my beloved Tony Moly Baby Doll Concealer [my review HERE] and I decided to get the Face Mix Cover Pot Concealer  instead because I love to try out new concealers.

It is super affordable - I got mine from this seller HERE.

This concealer forms part of the Face Mix line - it includes primers, foundations, concealers and even a lip primer! I really must get my hands on a couple of other products from this line. 

Like the Baby Doll version, this comes in just 2 shades: #01 Light Beige and #02 Natural Beige.

I got the lightest shade because I love a really light and bright under eye area, especially with smokey or darker eyes.

This concealer is super, but SUPER creamy and pigmented! It also banishes pesky under eye dark circles in a matter of seconds [I only use this concealer for my dark circles though, not for any other imperfections like pimples etc because I use a different concealer for that].

They claim that it has Lotus Water in it - so maybe that's why it feels so creamy.

... so creamy that it does need setting.

It does last quite a good number of hours.

In fact it really is similar to the Baby Doll concealer on all fronts. 

Love,

Lorraine
