I had a terrible experience with Milani's Amore Matte lipsticks a few years ago, so I was hesitant to try this formula, but the colors really drew me in. I love matte lips, but some days I do want something with a little more shine. While the color range isn't super varied, they do offer my kind of colors--pinky nudes, mauves, etc. These are good daytime glossy lip colors since they don't need to be reapplied super often. They don't smell like much of anything to me, but there is a slight minty tingle when they're first applied. I don't mind that, even though the first time I was a little surprised. The packaging is very luxe looking, and the doe foot on the wand is absolutely perfect for the consistency of the product. If Milani released more shades I'd probably check some of those out too. All in all, these are a big-time bargain winner from the drugstore.
