True Test Thursday: Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color

Sooo Milani has a new lipgloss/lip laquer type thing that looked pretty cool so I'm going to try it today! Color isn't great on this hand swatch... but I'll show you on my lips too! You can see the intensity!

It's called- as mentioned above- the Lip Intense Liquid color and let me tell you... they are not lying about the intensity. I picked up the color Fiery Coral because I don't really have any corals in my life. It was really hard to chose, they only have 4 colors (so far) but they are beautiful. Since Wallgreens has Milani on sale now... If I like this I may pick up some more tomorrow. It's supposed to have the shine of a gloss but the lasting power of a lipstick. It seemed like a cool thing I needed in my life so I got it! Lol.

I have tried it, but only like to play around with- not for a long period of time I rubbed it off right after. So far the color payoff is amazing. I have a feeling it might be a little bit drying, but it doesn't feel awful on your lips. And it has a really nicely designed applicator. Maybe I'm just picky with my lipglosses, but a lot have either a) Brushes that's bristles go in every direction or B) super flimsy applicators. So that's a plus.

I also want to mention that the packaging is nice. There's a high end brand that has similar packaging- I think it's Marc Jacobs actually. I love gold and coral together, so I like Milani's packaging for that. It's got a pretty gold cap and letters. Also I think the shape of this would make it super easy to slip in a purse and find when you need it. I don't think it should be reapplied without a mirror though. Seems like a mistake. It smells nice too... so points for that.

Also I want to mention that usually for True Test Thursday I don't do touch ups or fixes or anything, but I think I'm going to have to with this one. I've heard there is some feathering that happens and I don't want to look all crazy.

CHECK IN #1- 1:00 PM
So far so good! I've been wearing it for like an hour and a half. It pretty much looks the same, color payoff still good, it's not super glossy anymore. It looks more like a stain, but it still looks good. I'm about to eat lunch, so I might reapply after. I was also laughing a lot so I was sure it would get on my teeth. Doesn't look like anything happened, but I did check it like crazy... so theres that.

Didn't last as well as I thought. I wasn't going to reapply after lunch because the color was still there, but I took some pictures and it wasn't quite as vibrant as I wanted, so I put a little more on. I'll show pics at the end, I just took like a gazillion selfies because I kept thinking my mouth looked weird in them. Idk.

CHECK IN #2 -4:54 PM
 Alriiiiigggggghhhhhht so It's still on! Its not quite as vibrant... but the color itself is super duper vibrant. I'm going to drink some starbucks. It's getting on the cap a little bit, but not really that badly. I'm probably not going to reapply before my third class. I have an exam so its not like I have to look all that awesome for that. I'll let you know my thoughts after class.

It should just be noted that my third check in will be super quick as I will be writing it in the time it takes to microwave my dinner and then I'll be devouring my Penne Vodka because it is the best thing that exists.

Check in #3 
Wearing lipstick to an exam is a dumb idea. It stayed on but I had water that kinda rubbed it off and then I rubbed it further on my hand and it got on my ring. Color is still on my lips though, but its a little all over the place. Not terrible, but a little crazy looking. I did end up reapplying btw, don't think I mentioned that.

All in all though, this passed the true test! I love the formula and color and as of right now they have a nice variation of colors. They only have 4 colors, but they are all very vibrant and pretty colors that I think will work with all skin types. This is an absolute home run product in my opinion and I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy the other colors while they are still on sale at my wallgreens. I didn't think initially that this would be anything life changing, but it's the most life changing drugstore lip product I've ever used... so that's something!

Okay thats all! Buy this it's cool!

Byeeee!

P.S Forgot to add the selfies! Here you go! 




 The first few pics are from when I reapplied around check in #2 and the third is from when I first applied it. I took that picture on the stairs on my way to class so the lighting wasn't that great.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
