FAIL.

So tonight I was shopping at Meijer just picking up some cat food, the usual. Of course I strayed to the make up section like I usually do (lol). I knew I didn't want to spend money I don't have on anything crazy so I was looking around for some possible on sale items. I came across these lipsticks by Milani that were on clearance: originally $4.49 on clearance for $2.49! I was excited because I've been on a lipstick kick lately. I purchased the shades 29A Beloved and 12B Tiki-Tiki-Pink.

These looked SO PROMISING. Unfortunately, they are on clearance for a good reason.

Problem #1: They smell like grape cough syrup. I was shocked by how awful of a scent these lipsticks have. SERIOUSLY. I've never smelled a scent quite like this before. I was almost too appalled to put them on my lips.

Problem #2: What is up with the shape? They are kind of like a sphere shape with sharp edges. Um, what? 

Problem #3: They look decent when they are swatched but on they are SO UGLY. Tiki-Tiki-Pink is so sheer and the bit of color it does have is like an ugly coral. Beloved is sheer as well with a tint of brownish/caramel/I don't even know.

I've learned my lesson. Never buy lipsticks on clearance again. There's a reason WHY people are not buying them. I love the brand Milani but this product was overly disappointing. I think the smell is probably the biggest thing wrong with this product. I don't get it, I don't lol.
