So the story begins when the heroine [ahem...] walk into a Walmart store and is thrilled to find that it has Milani products.
Taking her sweet time, she checks this lipstick and that, and after considerable deliberation, she decides to get Candied Toffees - a nudish pinkish shade based on the color displayed in the bottom part of the gold casing.
Look at that nudish coral-ish pink-ish shade displayed! |
Alas, as she reaches home and pulls it out with all the eagerness to test it, she finds that she'd brought home a changeling - coppery bronzy metallic shade instead of the creamy nudish pink that the casing color promised her....
With a bitter curse on the botched marketing job, she flings the lipstick away & runs out into the darkness.... [[a.k.a the washroom]...
Do you expect this color after seeing the casing? Or do you think I need an eye exam? |
But the story has a happy ending... she learns to love the bronzy shade after she finds that it suits her very well, and they both live happily ever after [except in Winter when she goes after darker matte-er shades]..
If you're yawning and cursing my story telling skills, well, I have nothing more to say except if you're in Canada you can buy this from Well.ca here - http://well.ca/products/milani-color-statement-lipstick_89090.html . Price is around $6CAD.
Regarding other minor technical details of the story, the lipstick:
- has a nice golden packaging
- has a totally misleading color displayed in the bottom
- has a fruity but nice scent
- has no taste, no irritation
- has a nicely moisturizing texture and smooth application
- has a goodish staying power [around 3-4 hours with food]
- matches most complexions but would be best fit for medium to deeper skin tones
So, thats all, dear folks... thanks for reading and Ciao! :)
