UD SuperSaturated Dupe - Milani Lip Flash... And it's A DOLLAR.

I had been coveting the Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color pencils for almost a year.  A few months ago, I had an Ulta coupon so I bought one.  FELL IN LOVE.

But  they're $19.  And as many of you know, I am a bitch on a budget.

Well, my long-time BFF Misse gave me an inside tip on, of all places, The Dollar Tree.

Last Saturday night, we took a chance and went to the 40 Hwy/Noland Rd location in Independence, Mo., and went kind of late at night.

The staff was nice and the place was huge, and also practically empty, which is how I like my shopping.

Misse led me to the cosmetics.  What we were initially looking for, I forget.  But I saw the Milani Lip Flash pencils for $1 each.  What's 4 bucks?  I took a chance on four of them.  NO REGRETS.  These are excellent dupes of the Urban Decay and $18 cheaper!


My CVS also carries the Milani brand so you can probably score even more colors but maybe not for a dollar.

The Milani Lip Flash pencils are as pigmented and creamy as the Urban Decay.  They're likewise long-lasting and as a bonus, they don't have as sticky a texture as the UD pencils.

I definitely recommend these dupes if you are as enamored as I am by the original from UD.  Brilliant find!

Thanks to Misse for never failing to lead me to the buried treasure!
