I am not impressed. This stuff is thick, sticky, hard to apply evenly, and fades fast. It is, and looks, cheap. Bleah. I'm throwing it out.

I just recently purchased two Milani Crystal lip glosses. Innocent and Secret. Both are amazing!! After reading reviews here on makeupalley.com, I went to Walgreens in hopes that I would find them in stock, since I read that they are very popular and sell out quick! Well I was in luck!! They had stocked up the weekend before and had at least two of each color. This Innocent color is a light pink glittery color that rocks. I’ve already gotten about 3 compliments on this color. I usually wear Clinique’s Mystic Glosswear Sheer Shimmer, but I retouch through out the day often, and that was getting a bit expensive. With the Milani Crystal Lip Glosses, they’re only about 2.99 each, which saves me a lot of money!! And they have a nice vanilla, cookie doughish smell to them. I recommend them 100%!!!

I recently purchased this product in Smooch. It is THE perfect red lip gloss! It's not too glossy so that it turns the color a dark pinkish tone. This is a true, glossy red. I've been looking for this for a long time. Everything else I've tried ends up too pink. It might have to do with my coloring. Medium olive tone skin, dark eyes and dark hair. This is perfect for you if you have that coloring, or even people for the lightest skin tones, since this is a true red. :)

I absolutley LOVE this product! I had a coupon for any cosmetic (under $5) FREE! So i went to CVS and looked around for a Nude-ish color but I couldnt find any that I liked that was under $5 but then I found Milani products. I thought the little bottle was cute and I noticed a light pinkish color "Innocent" I have tons of light pink lipglosses and i really wanted a nude color but since they didnt have any nude colors on the shelf i just took the Innocent b/c i was tired of looking around. I am so happy i chose this one! The color is great on my lips, it gives them just a touch of pink and makes the look very full and shiny. Ive heard of the "Secret" one and id like to try that one and for the price of $3, i'll definitly go get some more!

I love this lip gloss!!! I purchased it in innocent, a sheer pink with shimmer. The bottle is cute and the lip gloss smells sort of like vanilla to me, even though scent isn't mentioned in the description of the product. Anyway, this gloss is extremely shiny and thick, in a good way. It's not sticky and is extremely shiny. Just a warning, though: although innocent looks pink, it goes on clear with nothing more than a small hint of pink. I still love this product, which isn't bad for $3! Especially with its size...not bad! Definately recommend to anyone who loves high shine glosses.

Wow! After hearing all the reviews about these little gems, I had to go out and buy some for myself. I am so glad I did! I bought "Innocent" and "Whisper". Innocent is very very light pink with subtle shimmer. Whisper is baby pink that shows up just a little, giving me a nice glossy look, sort of "I'm not wearing makeup" lips. They smell so good, like vanilla. The packaging is cute, but kind of small. I don't mind, as long as Walgreens keeps these in stock!

I also have Serendipity (dark bronze shade with a shimmer) and another shade wich I like a lot more and can't think of the name right now, it's a like creamy nude shade that basically just adds shine and a slight hint of color.
These are hit or miss, IMO because I've also tried several shades which I really didn't like. One was a very frosty pink shade that looked awful on.
I really like the formula of the shimmer free ones because they feel nice on my lips.

I have this in *Serendipity*--bronzy-like color (similar to Oh Baby in a way). It is beautiful, lasts a long time and is CHEAP! Very smooth on the lips. Also, the small size is a plus for my little purses. I must say that it lasts longer than my MAC lipglasses...compare $2.99 to $13 bucks!

Wow, I agree with everyone else so far...this is a wonderful gloss! It's so cheap and it's better than some of my high-end glosses. I saw the display and bought Innocent, a shimmery very light pink because it looked pretty in the tube (lol, im such a sucker for pretty glosses). Anyway, I tried it on and it felt SO smooth and glossy, but not sticky at all. Now, its a must have for me! Love the color, the shimmer is so nice and it lasts for a while. Great product!

Great lipgloss for so cheap! I got Innocent, a shimmery baby pink that has more shimmer than pigment. I love the vanilla smell, and the sticky, but moisturizing texture. ETA: Ew! This gloss went bad after only 3 weeks! Now it smells like sour vanilla.

I have these glosses in three shades : Secret, Innocent & Whisper. Personally, I like Whisper the best in terms of color since it does complement my lips the best. Overall, these glosses are not bad at all esp. the lovely soft vanilla/cake batter-y scent (YUM!). They're cheap, reasonably priced for such a very nice quality drugstore gloss.

Normally, I hate lip gloss. I buy it because it's so pretty, but then I end up never using it. It never lasts, it feels sticky on my lips, and it never looks as good on me as it does in the tube. However...I love Milani Crystal Gloss. It lasts and lasts, the texture is fantastic, and it has a fabulous sheen that doesn't look overdone. What a fantastic product!! If you don't have any stores near you that carry it, you can go to http://www.walgreens.com , they pretty much have the entire line, and the shipping costs are very reasonable.

I just bought this for the first time and I'm so glad I did! It's great. The gloss is creamy-- not sticky, but not drippy either. Also it's not so gritty as some. The colors are lovely and varied. Much more varied than most drug store glosses. I bought secret, and sweet desire, but will be buying more. The staying power is not amazing, but I really have only found one or two lip glosses --ever-- that last a while. As far as I'm concerned lip gloss is just not something that should cost > $8.00 (although I've spent 16-20 on many) so this makes me very very happy.

I just bought this in Forbidden, which is dark burgundy color. It might not be the best for those with paler skin, but for more me (MMM) it is great. I'm really impressed with this gloss - the texture is smooth, slightly sticky but not too bad, and the lasting power is decent for a gloss. Plus the smell is yummy. I will definitely be heading back to Walgreens for more of these. At $2.99 a piece, I can indulge my new lipgloss obsession without guilt!

I just discovered Milani at my local Walgreens for $3 and I'm so glad! I started of with a few unique e/s that I also love. I'm a lipgloss nut though, so i felt a responsibility to share my fabulous find! The Crystal Gloss has that great lipglass vanilla scent and no detectable taste. The texture is wonderful, not tacky or greasy. I have Smooch, a truly gorgeous true red. Make sure you get the Crystal Gloss formula though, because the Milani formula in the longer tube is NOT good. It's greasy and hard to apply evenly. I wish there was a bigger color selction, but if you find a color you like this deal can't be beat.

Picked up "Serendipity," a bronzey metallic shade, on one of my few preivous trips to Walgreens. Quantity is not much for the price, but I purchased one anyway due to the unusual color selection - some are quite bright. The consistency isn't too thick but the gloss itself is a bit sticky - "beware of hair getting stuck on your lips on windy days" sticky, and almost comparable to MAC lipglasses. Slightly scented but nothing offensive. Burns my lips just a tad though. Undecided on whether or not I'd repurchase.

I bought Rendez-vous (01), which is a dark purple grape color. Yes, purple! It's pretty liquidy, not as thick as a MAC lipglass. This color is strong on its own, so I match it with a creamy red lipstick. For some reason, the wand seems a little stiff. The color applies streaky if you use the wand. Better to apply with a lip brush. At $2.99 retail, it's definitely worth a try!

I bought "Secret", which is a beautiful beige. I find that most beige lipglosses look streaky (uneven application, you can see the swipes the wand made)and wash me out, but this one is perfect. "Whisper" is a pale, neutral pink that needs two layers to show up, but this is something I don't mind. These glosses also have a nice vanilla scent.

I got this in Innocent, a sheer (almost clear) baby pink shimmer. The consistency is a little tacky- about as sticky as lancome juicy tubes. For 2.99, this was a good deal. It lasts well, but sticky lipgloss bugs me because my hair sometimes sticks to it. Cute packaging- sleek litte wand tube. the only rant is that it was really hard to get the plastic off of the tube. I couldn't get it all off- some of it is like stuck on with glue. weird.
