I purchased few shades online include this Milan shade.
Firstly, this color is not for me, its slightly deeper than what it shows in the bottle that makes me look older, but other colors were fine. Maybe because i have dark lips with purple undertone, it still looks awesome on my friend's by the way.
Secondly, i have lot of fine lines on my lips. Its ok when its first appplied but it looks awful when it dries out.
Thirdly, the smell is quite strong, and u have to watch mirror to apply. The texture is smooth like mouse, and when u apply it covers everything like you do a painting.
Doesnt last long on me, have to re-apply after eating or drinking.
For those reasons i dont like it, but my friend who doesnt have problem like me she love it. Maybe it would depends on person.
I have this product in the shade Amsterdam, which is a lovely orangey red shade.
I love the packaging of this product as the shade is the colour of the bottom of the lip product! Brilliant, straight away in my collection I can tell what colour it is. I wish so many other brands did this as well. The top of the product has a rubberised finish which feels a lot like the NARS packaging. I love this though because it makes it easy to get the lid on and off. The doe foot applicator seems a bit smaller than other products I have tried which is great as for such a bright colour it makes it super easy to put on.
The product itself smells amazing, like a vanilla cupcake! But I find the scent doesn't linger once applied which is nice which is nice. I put this on today just to remind myself of how it applies and wears etc. I'm not sure why I don't wear this more often! It applies so easily like a gloss. It doesn't dry down for a wee while so it gives you a bit of time to move it around if you haven't applied it perfectly. I usually put a balm on first to make sure my lips don't dry out and that works for me. I have found that generally the outside of it sets really well but the middle does disappear after eating or drinking. For me that isn't so much of a problem as it is much easier to fill in the middle when you are on the go rather than try and make the lip line perfect.
Overall I really want to purchase more shades of this lip product. I have recently done an order from the NYX website directly through YouShop for some other products that I haven't tried before but my next order will for sure have some different colours of these in there.
