I’ve tried Milani, covergirl, and Nyx lip oils too and I agree Milani’s are my favorite! The new lychee shade is my absolute favorite because the scent PERFECTLY captures lychee

I like the milani ones but I like the color payoff of the fat oil ones better. Still not as pigmented as wearing a full out lipstick, but I like them for when I want to actually wear a lip color 💄

[@KellyGooch]

I agree that the NYX ones have more pigment!

[@violetviolet888]

Korean lip oils and colors have more pigment with longer lasting color.

[@baileydubs]

@@violetviolet888 idk about Korean lip OILS, but the rom&nd glasting melting balm is bomb

[@seralynn7286]

@@violetviolet888 Agreed, but I find them to be kind of drying. At least the ones that I've tried. I feel like if I wear them, it's for the color stain on my lips and then I add a clear balm or gloss on top.

[@melissakessler77]

Those new Milani lip oil shades are BOMB!!!! They are the best I’ve ever tried at any price.

[@allih8021]

I'm so glad to hear someone talking about those elf lipliners! I love them - I think it's the best design that balances your ability to get a good line with also being able to fill in the whole lip if you like that look. I also 100% agree about the elf Lash n' Roll. I WANT THEM TO MAKE A WATERPROOF VERSION SO FLIPPING BAD. It's so soft and gorgeous looking!

[@trixie_pixie]

The Catrice foundations, concealers, lip liners and their oil infused blush are my holy grails! The Essence highlighters as well. Now Flower Beauty I haven’t tried yet, so I need to get my hands on their products. 💕

I’m generally only a tubing mascara person, but my exception is that elf lash and roll mascara, the look it gives is worth it not being a tubing formula

[@pinkbubblesnake]

That's a really high recommendation, deffo going to give that one a try

[@pinkbubblesnake]

What would you recommend for tubing formulas though? I've wanted to try them

[@baileydubs]

@@pinkbubblesnake my fav is the thrive one, the milani one is decent, been trying out the Clio kill lash 04 extreme volume, and that one is pretty good!

I have an old formula of a catrice blush in burgundy that I don’t think is made anymore. I have literally been using as an everyday blush for over two years and you can barely tell I’ve used it. It’s my fave blush in my collection!

[@anelaostojic2530]

absolutely adore the milani lip oils and i first got them after your recommendation actually! i think i tried strawberry melon and cherry lime at first, and as i really wanted to try the new nude shades, i got blackberry agave and lychee nectar. i truly don’t think one needs a high end lip oil when these milani lip oils exist

[@randompatterned]

I'm excited to try the Elf Lash 'n Roll I just received. You have convinced me to buy the Flower Beauty serum concealer, the Milani lip oil, and the Elf lip liner. I do love Essence blushes, highlighter, contour, and their Stay & Play gel eyeliner.

[@kristenreehil3196]

I tried Flower Beauty's Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer in Ivory and it's so good. I love using it as an under eye brightening concealer but this also works as a spot concealer too.

[@stacyzaimi8535]

The goldy cassis shade in essence baked blush is fall perfection.

[@rebeccab3537]

I just bought one of the Milani lip oils. I think "honey" (?). I'm stoked to try the formula. I love O&J nails. As someone with small nail beds, their XXS and XS length are incredible. They do look very natural, too. I just put on "cocoa chrome" in the S length, and they're a little too long for me, so I'll cut them. The color is stuuuuuning! I picked up the purple velvet ones you're wearing and am saving them for closer to Halloween. Perfect for spooky season

[@sylviaeneriz4808]

Definitely agree the Milani Fruit Fetish lip oil. They are fantastic and taste great! By far the strawberry melon is my favorite and amazing.

[@Faska_]

The Catrice Calligraphy liquid liner and their HD foundation drops are my 2 drugstore faves❤

[@pamelal485]

I also have trouble finding a true brown mascara! The best I have found is the Colourpop BFF. Its pretty brown, but the formula is pretty volumizing. Also- maybe try the Voluminous burgundy one. I find it has the "soft" effect I want... If your lashes are at all naturally brown, it really does not look burgundy once applied

[@tiamarrow6366]

My best friend could definitely use this video. She is so used to using a lot of the viral more high-end and even expensive/luxury products, and on time when we went to Sephora to actually buy her some skincare products not even makeup…..she said to one of the employees that she didn’t want to have to use any drugstore products, and I looked at her like “excuse you?” As did the Sephora worker, because we both use drugstore products. I understand that everyone has their personal preferences when it comes to makeup and skincare, which is perfectly okay….some prefer more high-end luxurious, some prefer drugstore, some like both however….to almost diss and shade one because you feel that you could never been seen using them, or because it wouldn’t be good enough for you..….thats a bit tone deaf in my opinion. My best friend, she’s used to the finer things in life, so when she made that comment…..it felt like she said it as “I could never be seen wearing anything drugstore, because I use expensive things.” So I’ve been trying to show her more affordable options.

[@pinkbubblesnake]

I wonder if there's some cost bias going on? I remember having this conversation with an ex about designer branded clothes, with his logic being they last longer. But he always ended up with holes in them 😂 I think cus he wasn't good at taking cre of things he was expecting it to be some insurance policy for that by paying more

[@pinkfeet518]

@@pinkbubblesnakeas someone who always uses “but the quality is so good” as a way to justify buying designer items, i’d have to agree with you. it’s not always better quality! it’s the name, the brand, the idea of using a luxury product, and even sometimes an ego boost

That has become my favorite blush brush as well. I was used to bigger cheek brushes, but those will cover more of the cheek area, as you said, and I don't like that anymore. I like a more subtle, natural blush application, and the Flower beauty brush is ideal for that. Took me a while to like it because of what i had previously used, but now it's my favorite. So much so that I ended up buying 2 backups because who knows what is happening with the brand.

[@thelipstickgal]

I completely agree with you about the Milani lip oils. They’re the best at the drugstore. I feel like the Milani lip oils are better than the cover girl by far. I feel like the NYX fat oil lip drip is a great formula, but it’s very different. I think it comes down to preference, and mine is for the Milani formula. I’m obsessed with the new nude shades.
