MILANI LIPSTICK HAUL & SWATCHES ON THE LIPS

[channienyc]

Lmao, you crack me up. Black woman from the 90's is right. I never liked that look ... I didn't get it then and I don't get it now, although there's not much that your pretty face can't pull off.

[herFLYness79]

maybe as a highlight instead??? that's what i do if the colors don't work for me..

[ansander1234]

Love ur makeup on here

[EbonyEthereal]

how moisturizing were they? and how was the longevity (if u wore any of them enough to test that, lol.) nyx has a lipstick called "champagne" that's like a frosty golden peach color, and i'm thinking maybe milani will have a good dupe for that.

[SagittarianHeat1]

Frosts are really hard to pull off without looking like ash. lol

[chanzii1]

You look great! i love these plats !

[nacora1trini]

shame on them for them frosty ass lip sticks for women of color .. really ?? frosty lips on us just reminds me of 70's porn to me ..LOL... yea i said it !!

[Purplemuslimlina2010]

i like their liquid eye liners ,blushes lip gloss ,and lipstick in pencil form but I hate their lipstick formula they tend to cake and are not moisturizing.

[nlovelace]

Ugh, I agree frost is definitely a NO. They just make me look like Tyreeta Biggums.

Do you think you can go back to doing your makeup reviews and swatches in HD? This one was a bit blurry and hard to see. Other than that, great video. Thanks for sharing.

[coaluck]

All these colors are very flattering for brown to dark skin woman. i like, i like.

[anginettej]

The orange Gina actually looks nice on you

[nikagurl2]

I use the orange Gina as a corrector under my concealer for m dark circles. It works beautifully.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@nikagurl2 That sounds like that would look pretty, you get the light reflecting properties form the lipstick too?

[abdeeturt]

I liked the pink topaz, orangina, bronze leaf and double espresso on you they looked real nice on camera.

[DimplesDeep1]

Thanks A

[ellebellRB]

I don't like frosty lipsticks neither but as I was watching this I was saying "they look good on her" I don't know what they look like in person but not bad on cam!

[YuPiMSPECL]

Yea lol. Looking at this another time I still think they nice on you. The one color, Orangina, I think I like best you liked least by your expression lol. I can relate to how you feel about frosts though. Try them with liner or even use them to highlight your cheeks if you're daring.

[YuPiMSPECL]

Maybe they look different in person but I think most of the colors looked good on you. Like others suggested, you may just want to try a lip liner.

[thatblackseluchic]

I love double espresso!!!! I found it at Walmart fall in love.

[foxyrou]

What a disappointment! The frost look is a definite no go! Thanks for keeping us informed.

[karibe05]

@indy5ivehundred thanks for the info :)

[traiskin]

You just need a good liner. They're all nice colors once you blend them.

[melbavinson]

I used to sell cosmetics. I found from personal experience that i could use dark brown lip liner especially with frosts & metallic colors to keep the lip color from overpowering my already defined dark lips. Gloss optional!!!

[Savage8884]

Im getting no picture is it just my connection.

[DeeJ085]

I liked Orange Gina and Bronzed leaf on you, I'm very brown skinned and for me the frost thing isn't cute, looks ashy and kind of cheap looking:)

[Natoyaista]

LMAOO@ black woman from the '90's only needing some black lip liner...aint that the truth

[Jazz3910]

You can tell you didnt like the colors lol it was all in ya face while you were saying the color and applying lol love you channel

[mz5044lyfe]

they look really good on u imo

[Ysheena1]

Girl you are so chocolate and wear the red lipstick SO well.. You give me hope everytime I see you wearing red... BUT ..... UGH... I ALWAYS look like a CLOWN. :)

[Vikkisecret1685]

Love your videos. Have you tried NYX's Matte Lipstick in "Pure Red"...im sure it would compliment your beautiful complexion

[makeda2010able]

I liked the creamy coco the deep orange looked nice. I've always felt that way about frosty lip stick and even some glossestht have to much shimmer because my lips are huge! Lol

[n9jaroxx]

Great vid. I've been a little Leary about trying milani lip shades

[vmontgomery80]

I thought most of the colors looked good on you. It's hard for anybody to pull off gold lipstick, makes black girls look like they just ate powdered donuts.

[SASYGIRL78]

lol @ the black woman from the 90's....lol I remember as a teen we use to line black liner around everything....too funny.

[jejedanielle]

@yeaeeyeaee I agree

[karibe05]

@AFRICANEXPORT thank u! i will get on it today! 

[MzShanadonna]

I liked majority of the colors....I'm sure that if you lessen the amount applied and add a lil gloss you could pull them all off.

[najahwill]

Some of them actually look nice on u!

[bbchecks10]

You know the Ceely braids look nice with the orange top...just saying :) I wasn't too impressed by the swatches either. Thanks for the vid!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@bbchecks10 Thanks for watching, now I have to see what Im going to do with them

[yeaeeyeaee]

Creamy cocoa looks best on you..all cute

[LadyASolveg]

I'm dark skinned but have pinkish lips, I don't don't really like frosted lipsticks. But you can add it to a matte lipstick and it works. I usually just you my finger to put a tiny bit on top of the matte it upgrades the mat colour and adds a bit of shine. This is also a good way to maybe revive a fave colour you're tired of seeing yourself in. All the best:)

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@LadyASolveg I will try . Thanks for commenting . I can do the lil frosty center to give the pouty look :O)

[successismine100]

@africanexport I'm sure you'll make it work. I bet your going to be mixing lipstick colors and find the perfect shade

[imafan]

They actually look nice in my opinion but I'm no make up artist either..

[karibe05]

I'M TRYING TO FIND RED LIPSTICK FOR MY COMPLEXION, HOW DO U SUGGEST I GO ON THAT, I"M QUITE DARK COMPLECTED!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@karibe05 A nice true red with blue undertones, or a berry shade may work . Try Wet N Wild first, they are inexpensive and have some nice colors and formula

[indy5ivehundred]

@karibe05 the brand "Black Radiance" has some stellar red and berry shades for Dark WOC.

[msexyslim1]

@karibe05 I think a brick red would be banging on your complexion!

[jejedanielle]

I don't like frost either, certain shades come off a little ashy

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@jejedanielle EXACTLY

[coaluck]

@jejedanielle I don't do frost either. =/

[mspunt1]

i actually liked all of them on you.

[MsPrivatetube]

Gloss may help and so will a lip liner maybe, but I agree with weareskyandsea Jordana matte lipsticks are fire, and not drying.

[kookyv]

Hmm...lipstick aside, although you said you didn't like your hair in this style, I actually think your braids in this video looks really good while being "modern" and sexy!. I think it's because it's "dressed up" w/ earring, make up etc...But I feel you about those "old school" braids (aka Ms Cealy braids, lol). I don't think they look old sckool at all. I know, off topic. Bless

[MsTrailMixx]

Lmao...the realest channel on the YT..showin' u Bay Area luv..I'm still crackin' up!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@MsTrailMixx Thanks for the love mama :O)

[brankb83]

YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!! LOVE THIS LOOK ON YOU!

[MrsDarkberry]

@AE. I know you say that braid style is not for you, but your hair really looks good.

[NancyGooGoo]

Ummmm....yeah, but the lipstick that you're wearing at the very end when you're telling us you're hookin' us up, that's a different DARKER shade - WHAT THAT BE??? You know of ALL the people, I HAVE to know ALL about the lipsticks! LOL

[swtcarmel1]

bronze leaf and orangina is bangin on you boo!

[MacAronySalsa]

oh gosh my aunt still does black lip liner and red lipstick. eugh.

[CraziboutJewelry]

Even some of the lip glosses are frosty I purchased one called serendipty needless to say I don't wear it much

[weareskyandsea]

I have darker pigmented lips as well and frost is a no-go for me too!! You should check out Jordana matte lipsticks if you haven't already! So cheap and so many beautiful colours to choose from!!

[TheOnefaida]

I'm dark skinned too and I find if I put a gloss over a frost it makes it wearable.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@TheOnefaida Awesome thanks for that recommendation . Im going to try that

[salamaat]

Thank you for doing this :)

[D2fan4ever]

What's the color that you're wearing in the beginning of the video.....that's pretty!

[ExcelAndBeExcellent]

The orange one was pretty.

[StarSpell5]

I love the nail polishes they 'got' colors.

[Alisha10000000]

LOL! at 90s reference and black lip liner. Hey that was the thing then. Sorry that the colors did not work out.

[mpenny226]

I have a Milani lipstick called Berry Rich and it is a very pigmented Bold Red/Pink no frost. It is da bomb!! The only one that I could get with on you is Orangina (with a liner). Yeah those were not the best on brownskin women.

[CurlyTip11]

They all look good on you!

[rianrobot]

your hair looks gorgeous.

[vanie0295]

They...

[vanie0295]

I thought the looked good and was only missing a lip liner....then u said comment about women in the 90's lol. A.E I never knew it was out lol.

[GigglesnGaggie]

Thanks girl, you always get down to the nitty gritty!

[BeautyCutright]

Girl , I understand.....I hate frosty lip colors too. Have you tried ruby woo by mac? (you probably have and I didnt notice) Its a great red on me since we are about the same skintone

[NappyGirlSanDiego]

I thought the lipsticks looked good on you.

[ansbach74]

I didn’t see any shades that I really like. I have one Milani lipstick and that it is Red Delicious. Thanks for showing the swatches.

[sheabutterr]

I LOVE Milani lipsticks. I was never a fan of frosted lipsticks,but I do have one and Double Espresso is my favorite. Try the Creme colors.

[successismine100]

Honey, you went on a lipstick frenzy...lol

Love your channel : )

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@successismine100 LOL, it was 50% off , I couldn't resist. Too bad they all look like crap on me. I can make some "work" but I don't like to put in effort

[MsTrina780]

I thought they looked very good on you, actually. But I understand that everyone has their own preference for how they like to look. The look on your face was priceless while trying them on. LOL I commend your courage. My lips are fuller than yours and pigmented, as well, and frosted lip color looks terrible on me.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@MsTrina780 I felt like they looked pretty bad on me lol .

[misscrb2000]

On you!

[MissJessyMae]

@misscrb2000 LOL Cleared that up quick didn't you honey?! LOL

[misscrb2000]

They still look great in you

[MissJessyMae]

@misscrb2000 LOL!!!!!

[starrlicious2]

You could definitely tone those down with a lipliner if they are too frosty for you. Perhaps to a gradient lip? I think the Bronze and the Orange are definitely workable. I would have been TOO THROUGH with that damn gold. They are wrong for that. LMFAO You're a good sport though because I know I would have sent all that stuff back. Happy Sunday!

[untothenizzzown]

The lipsticks actually don't look bad on you...

[Hydraulic55]

I agree with a comment below a few actually really look good on you!

[imsmutsbutt2]

thanks girl keep the videos coming....

[JustSynetta]

The 1st one looked stunning on you. Goes well with your eye shadow look.

[gotsnoluv4ya]

Even though you are not happy with the colors, I think many of them you are rocking well. Personal opinion from someone who does not wear any but admires those who can =).
