Milani Crave, Roleplay, Voyeur Color Fetish Shine Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Crave

Milani Crave Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a vivid, medium pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-sheer color payoff, which was more in line with how the coverage was described by the brand, that applied fairly evenly, though the actual formula was more prone to catching on imperfections.

The consistency was thinner, which likely contributed to how well it sat on my lips, though it didn’t seem to settle into my lip lines. It wore well for two hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

$8.99/0.1 oz. - $89.90 Per Ounce

It's supposed to have "sheer to medium coverage" with an "ultra-moisturizing" formula that is a cross between a lip balm and a lipstick. The formula was very emollient, lightweight, and had the feeling that it melted against the warmth of my lips during application. The coverage ranged from medium to semi-opaque more than they were ever sheer, though.

Most shades applied evenly and weren't prone to emphasizing lip lines or lip texture but a few shades were less flattering applied as they caught on imperfections. They were comfortable to apply and to wear, but they were more lightly hydrating while on but didn't feel like they were adding long-term hydration (even after wearing the formula back-to-back).

They lasted between two and three hours, so they were shorter-wearing than average, but easy to reapply. The formula had a sweet, fruity scent and slightly sweet taste.

Roleplay

Milani Roleplay Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a rich, red-leaning orange with subtle, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which was higher than described (but some may prefer regardless of the marketing), that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without emphasizing imperfections or my lip lines. The consistency felt lightweight, more balm-like, so it had quite a bit of slip, but it didn’t feather or bleed on me over time. It lasted for two and a half hours me and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Voyeur

Milani Voyeur Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a natural finish. It had semi-sheer to medium color coverage in a single layer, which did not apply evenly. The texture was very emollient and slippery, which made it difficult to apply with precision.

Thankfully, the color did not seem to bleed or feather on me (but those do not occur often for me), but the slip of the formula would give me pause recommending it to someone who had either of those happen to them frequently! This shade stayed on well for two and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time.
