Milani Color Statement Lipstick-Violet Volt #34
This color is a little dangerous…
I know that purple isn’t everyones favorite shade but I always think you should try something before you dismiss it. I think how good pretty purple lips look surprises some people. I’ve seen someone thats very fair try on a shade like this and not be able to stop looking at themselves in the mirror. It looks amazing if you’ve got the ‘tude to carry it! This will look good on a variety of skin tones and it’s a great way to look edgy without looking scary. This does happen to be one of those “I’ll take your man” type shades as me and my close girlfriends call it. Cause hey are you going to mess with the girl that has Violet Volt on her lips? Yeah I wouldn’t either!
This color is all business.
The metallic sheen is nice on this and enhances the color. I know a lot of people missed out on Mac’s Heroine lipstick. This isn’t a dupe but it’s a damn fine inexpensive lipstick shade thats in the same color family. I get four to five hours of wear with this and it’s a stunner! For around $5 check this one out if you need a little purple in your life! If purple isn’t your thing check out some of the other shades available. There is something for everyone in this line of lipsticks. The Color Statement Lipstick display is in CVS, Kmart, and most other drugstores.
Check out my posts on a few other colors Best Red, Sangria, and Flirty Fuchsia.

Ah crap… now I have to go to the store and get this! It’s a color I’m definitely missing out of my collection. This color is gorgeous!! I always wondered if this kind of violet would look good on my skin tone (hispanic, medium dark) and now I’m convinced Thanks so much for the wonderful pictures and reviews!

It’s going to really look good against your skin! I like colors like this that pop!

This is one of my favorite shades from Milani, and it might be because I love the color purple. Can you recommend other gorgeous purple lipsticks or lip glosses?

I have a bunch of my fav purples from my stash (drugstore and high end) in a post that I did for people looking for shades close to Mac Heroine last month. Here it is, hope it helps!: http://crystalis007.com/2013/03/31/looking-for-a-mac-heroine-dupe-here-are-some-swatches-from-my-stash/

So that article isn’t a figment of my imagination. I thought I remembered you posting something about your favorite purples, but I could not remember the name of the post. Thanks!

I just bought my first Milani lipstick from the new collection, #20 Uptown Mauve, and I LOVE IT. It stays on for hours, and that I love. I always wanted to find a color like this – I normally stick with deep colors close to my lips, or burgandy, but this is just beautiful and I can pull it off….thanks!
