Hey there!
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!
L to R: Everlast, Forever, Infinite, Endless, Eternal
First off the colors are very opaque. What you see in the swatches above is one swipe up and one down with the tiny brush applicator, and that’s it!
Secondly they are vivid! Well ok the black isn’t really *vivid* but the other four are very bright and pretty.
Thirdly they LAST. I mean LAST. After I swatched these I tried removing them from my hand with a Wet Wipe. I had to SCRUB and SCRUB and there were still faint marks hours later, after washing my hands a few times. They are billed as being waterproof and I can say I believe it!
I also wore Infinite (the blue one) the other day and N___. (who never notices things like makeup) actually said he liked the blue! It stayed on really well, it never flaked off or budged in any way. To remove it I used some oil based eye makeup remover and got it off fairly easy, but not as easy as most liquid liners.
I must say that these are very similar to the MAC Liquidlast liners, but a fraction of the price (MAC is $16.50). What I liked about these ones better (other than price) was that these didn’t dry in 1 second flat like the MAC ones do. That gave me time to correct any mistake I might have. The MAC ones dry SO freakin’ fast that I don’t even use them anymore because once they’re on, they’re on so you kinda have to be perfect with those.
Overall I would say that these are really excellent liners and definitely worth checking out if you like bright colors (or black).
You can find these wherever Milani Cosmetics are sold (they recently started selling them at my Target) and they are about $5.99.
Do you wear liquid liner, what are some of your favs?

I don’t wear liquid eyeliners that often ’cause most of the time I’m pure lazy but if i do i love the one from an german natural/organic cosmetics brand called alverde. it’s an gel-eyeliner and boy, it is truly amazing.
I’ve recently bought the one from wet’n’wild but am not as satisfied as with the one from alverde…

I like the blue and purple one. They really look vivid.
I wear liquid eyeliner and my favorite is Avon Perfect Wear eyeliner. It lasts for hours and hours…

oh man, i love these!!
i actually love the mac liquidlast and find that it takes ages to dry!! i usually do the ol’ blowdryer to the face trick to get it to set. however, i feel that the mac liquidlast liners have a short shelf life, and their consistency changes after a few months. i will for sure look into these!
Ok, I’m sold on these. You had me at the price, then sealed the deal with the drying issue. I too have a MAC liner similar and stopped using it for the same reason. Gonna get me a couple while they’re Buy one get one 50% off at CVS.

I really like the purple one! It’s great to hear they last a long time as well. I love coloured liquid eye liners!

I wish they had these at my drugstore. I usually use the Physicans Formula felt tip liners, but these colors look interesting. I might use the blue, purple, or green as an undereye liner.

Wow, the blue one really stands out. So vivid. Thanks for the info on alverde amusedPolish, I’m always looking for natural organic cosmetics.

These look cool. I don’t wear liquid liner, or really eyeliner anymore. I just use powder with an eyeliner brush. Might have to pick up the black or purple of these, just to try!
I can’t use liquid liners cause I have such a shaky hand. But these do look so nice!

I don’t often wear make up, but all this gorgeous Milani stuff is really making me wish I could find it up here so I could try it out =[
How wonderful to find such vivid liquid liners right in a drugstore! Thanks for doing the swatches. I love liquid eyeliner. It’s what I grew up using so I’m pretty good with application. I’ll have to try these.
The purple and black ones really got my attention. I’ll have to keep my eyes on the lookout for these. I’ve seen these at the Loblaws grocery store where I am.

These look cool! I don’t wear a lot of colored liquid eyeliner but I definitely want to check out the black. The bronze and purple look worth a go too. Thanks for the review! I really like your blog.
