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!

They were an awesome find, can not wait to go on a treasure hunt again!
