"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."

Pros

Cons

Cruelty Free Beautiful packaging  Affordable Smells like a vanilla cookie Color true to swatch and color selection on the back of the tube Very moisturizing on the lips Creamy formulation Does not settle into lines Smooth application Great pigmentation Buildable Blends nicely Reapplies well No feathering Not tacky No crumbling Not drying  Doesn't cling to dry patches on the lips Doesn't make the teeth appear yellow Lightweight Gorgeous color Perfect for fall/winter Beautiful for an evening look Longlasting: 5.5 hours before having to reapply Fades nicely from the center out into my natural lip color

Does dry down a bit as the day progresses May not be considered an everyday color but that is a matter of opinion Color does transfer onto other objects if they come into contact with Color can smudge  Staining of the lips after removal If you are sensitive to smell or don't like the smell of vanilla then this is not for you Packaging can get dirty with fingerprints

Overall Thoughts:

The Milani Cosmetics' Color Statement Lipstick in #48 - Tuscan Toast is a gorgeous color that upon initial purchase I thought would be too dark for me to pull off but I love that I was proven wrong yet once again by Milani. The creaminess of the formula allows for a smooth application with excellent pigmentation and a yummy vanilla cookie smell. There was no feathering, no crumbling, no tackiness, and doesn't cling to dry patches or lip lines. Tuscan Toast is buildable and blendable. It lasted about 5.5 hours before fading from the center into my natural lip color. I did not experience any issues with reapplication. There was a slight stain upon removal but that is to be expected with darker shades of lipsticks. I can't wait to wear this color during the fall/winter season even though I will probably wear it a lot sooner so don't rat me out to the ghost of Joan Rivers.
