Milani Covet, Seduce, Fantasy Color Fetish Shine Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Covet
Milani Covet Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a vivid, pink-red with strong, cool undertones and a glossy finish. It had medium coverage, which was closer to as described, in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without emphasizing my skin’s natural texture. The texture was lightweight, thin, and very emollient–more balm-like than lipstick-like in that regard–so it did slide around a bit while worn, though I didn’t see feathering on myself. It wore well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$8.99/0.1 oz. - $89.90 Per Ounce
It's supposed to have "sheer to medium coverage" with an "ultra-moisturizing" formula that is a cross between a lip balm and a lipstick. The formula was very emollient, lightweight, and had the feeling that it melted against the warmth of my lips during application. The coverage ranged from medium to semi-opaque more than they were ever sheer, though.
Most shades applied evenly and weren't prone to emphasizing lip lines or lip texture but a few shades were less flattering applied as they caught on imperfections. They were comfortable to apply and to wear, but they were more lightly hydrating while on but didn't feel like they were adding long-term hydration (even after wearing the formula back-to-back).
They lasted between two and three hours, so they were shorter-wearing than average, but easy to reapply. The formula had a sweet, fruity scent and slightly sweet taste.

Seduce
Milani Seduce Color Fetish Shine Lipstick ($8.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in a single pass paired with a creamy, lightweight, and very emollient consistency that felt like it melted on my lips like butter. The color applied evenly, though there was a bit of product that settled into my deeper lip line, but it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It lasted well for four hours and felt lightly hydrating,

Not a loser in the bunch! All three look beautiful applied. My pick would be Cover just because it’s a bit more unique.
Beautiful shades and they all look pretty good. Seduce was my favourite.
