How Bright Will Your Star Flash?

Milani Star Flash Haute Flash Lipgloss ($7.49 for 0.18 oz.) is bright pop of fuchsia pink with multi-colored sparkle. MAC Dare to Dare is more yellow-toned and sheerer. MAC Eelctric Fuchsia is bluer-toned, lighter. MAC Preppy is lighter but comparable.

The Haute Flash formula is supposed to be “full coverage,” “highly pigmented, “extra glossy,” “non-tacky, and “anti-feathering.” This shade is almost opaque–so close, but not quite. There’s noticeable translucency, though when the shimmer catches the light, it nearly tricks you. The finish is high-shine in a metallic kind of way, but it’s not really glossy, as it looks a bit more like a lipstick than a gloss. Milani Flashy was thicker and a little gritty as time went on, but this shade was thinner, and less gritty–just a little texture as it faded away. If you remember MAC Dare to Wear Lipglass, this formula is very comparable. Star Flash wore for four hours, but it did become noticeably gritty as it faded away.

It’s very pretty on you. The one Milani lip gloss that always catches my eye in CVS is the 3-D Glitzy Glamour Gloss in some sort of neon-ish fuschia shade. It simultaneously draws me in and somewhat terrifies me with how bold it looks in the tube. One of these days, I’ll buy it just to see what it’s really like on the lips.

it’s way better that it’s sheer. if it was opaque it would look very ugly…(very shimmery medium pink glosses and lipsticks are my pet peeve, lol)

Oooh, I like this shade. I bought this gloss in Hot Flash, which is bright red. A little bit of a mistake on my part, just because that shade is quite opaque and I don’t do opaque reds, really.
