Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liner Swatches & Review

Hey there!

Milani Infinite Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liner Swatches & Review

Milani has some seriously amazing new liquid eye liners out for spring 2010 called Infinite. They come in five different colors and have serious color impact!

I swatched these the other day and was pretty pleased with how much color these put off. I always am a wee bit weary of drug store cosmetics because a lot of times I have found that they are seriously lacking in either formula or opacity, but not these!

Milani Cosmetics 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss Swatches & Review

Milani lip gloss Milani Cosmetics 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss Swatches & Review

Hello there!

Milani has eight really great new lip glosses out called 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss. This is part of their new spring line for 2010. I had the honor of trying six of these out and it’s all good news!

These glosses are super shiny and glittery, and despite the fact that they look sticky and thick, they really aren’t. They go on very smoothly and are not sticky at all (unlike MAC Lip Glass).

The applicator is a soft, small brush, which I personally like better than the wand type.

A huge bonus for me with these for me is that removal is super easy. A lot of times I have found that lip gloss with glitter in it tends to get all over my chin/mouth area when I wipe it off. These don’t at all!

They last too! I wore Fashion Diva the other day for a few hours and had no budging of the color and I didn’t need to reapply it yet either. Check out swatches below.

Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer Swatches & Review

Hey there!

I am off to a late start this morning. Not feeling that great, bad headache, ugh. But enough about me, here is something fun for your Friday!

Milani has recently come out with a much talked about (at least on Twitter) holographic nail collection. I looked for these all over the place and couldn’t find them. Finally a couple weekends ago I made a whole day out of going to various drugstores and came across them at CVS, yay!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the bottles are ugly. They are just so dated looking, I wish they would change the shape and caps (and their logo while they’re at it). But remember grasshopper, sometimes you must look past the ugliness to see the beauty inside. icon smile Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer Swatches & Review

The formula on these was great, no issues whatsoever. These were all three coats for good measure. They are all pretty holographic, so no worries about it being false advertising here! They are also super smooth to the touch, no gritty glitter feel at all. Check them out!

HD is a silver holo. This is on the sheer side of silver, so I used three thicker coats and possibly could have used another.
