"Begin applying from the center of your upper lips and work your way to the outer edges. Same application is used for your bottom lips. 

Tip: Lipliner helps extend the wear & keeps your lipstick from feathering.   When choosing a lipliner shade, match the lipliner to your lipstick shade or match your lipliner to the shade of your lips which will work with all your lipstick shades.   Create a custom lipcolor by using a contrasting lipliner and lipstick shade."

Review Chart:

Pros
Cons
  • Cruelty Free
  • Vegan
  • Cute luxurious packaging
  • It feels lightweight on your lips so you can definitely use this on a daily basis.
  • Affordable 
  • Creamy moisturising formula that does not dry out your lips
  • Buildable which comes in handy since it is a satin sheen finish 
  • Great pigmentation
  • Color payoff is true to the color sample and what you see in the tube
  • No feathering 
  • Long wearing - about 5 hours which included drinking and eating before having to reapply
  • A slight bit of color transfer when drinking so I suggest using a straw. Since this color is in the same family range as your natural lip color, even if there is some color transfer it'll still have a sheen of color on.
  • Smells and taste like the old middle school flavored chapsticks with a trace of perfume
  • Slight trace of a stain when removed
  • There is some smudging if anything comes into deep pressure contact with this formulation seeing as it truly doesn't completely dry.

Overall Thoughts:

Milani Cosmetics' Color Statement Lipsticks currently includes 32 different shades. The Color Statement Lipstick in the shade 46 - Power Pink was added to the collection back on January 2015. This color definitely embraces its name. It is a bold hot pink with purplish undertones that screams power. The satin sheen finish formula is very moisturizing and creamy that will not dry your lips out. The lipstick formula is infused with both Vitamin A and C which nourishes and leaves the lips feeling hydrated with a flawless smooth application. Due to the finish, you may need to apply a few layers to get that powerful bold color but all in all there is great pigmentation that is true to color shade. There is no feathering or bleeding of this color but there is a slight transferring upon drinking or kissing. You will also notice a slight smudging if come into contact with any deep pressure. Upon removal of Power Pink, I did notice a bit of a stain on the lips but does come off with a deeper cleaning. The only thing that bothers me is the smell and taste. It reminds me of those cheap Dr. Pepper chapsticks from my middle school days. I am also that girl that cannot stomach the taste of Dr. Pepper so I am probably a bit bias. I love the affordable price with amazing quality in such a xuxi golden packaging. I will definitely be repurchasing this shade in the future as well as hunting down the other colors from this collection.
