MILANI Single Eyeshadows

I've always been a fan of eyeshadows. I'm willing to buy them in singles, or in palettes. I just love them! Recently, I've been reading a lot about how nice Milani shadows are for their price. It's totally amazing. I got some from a dealer from Ebay and so far, I'm satisfied with my purchases. Anyway, I decided to review them since I got them a while back and I really haven't reviewed them yet.

According to the Manufacturer:

Intensely pigmented eye shadows that leave an incredible deposit of color on lids. Glides on silky-smooth, blends effortlessly and resists fading and creasing.

Available in 12 high-impact shades.

Packaging:

It comes in a circular, flip-top container.



It's made mostly of plastic, but it seems sturdy enough to be handled frequently. The flip-top cover is in clear plastic so you can really see the contents. 



The only thing bugging me about this though is that the flip-top is kinda hard to open. I've hurt my nail beds a number of times already just trying to open it. huhuhu.

Quantity:

0.058 OZ /1.65g -- Judging by eye, the content should be enough to cover you for a while.

Quality:

The shadows are just amazing! I can't tell you how pigmented these little guys are! It doesn't need too much work to blend these babies. They're kinda creamy, but then they're really solid. I dunno how to explain it. It's just that once its applied, it like, melts from the warmth of your skin and makes it easily spreadable. The ones I got were more on the shimmery side, but I heard they also carry satin and matte shades, for those who like those variants.




Sun Goddess -- I love, love, love this shade! It such a warm, golden, orangey color which goes perfectly with my skin tone. 

Java Bean -- This color is a bit dark for me, more like Mauve, but still warm. I don't wear it too much, but I still love the color.

Antique Gold -- Now, this one got me fooled. I bought this color, thinking it would come off as a bit off a brownish, gold color, but nooooo. It's actually sort of a moss green color, with some golden sheen to it. I don't like it. It makes me look like a drag queen.


T-B: Java Bean, Antique Gold, Sun Goddess


Price: 

I got it for, I think, 75 PHP a pop. Not too bad, considering the quality of the product.

Pro's:

- Cheap
- Highly Pigmented
- Easily blendable
- Comes in a myriad of colors
- Handy
- Packaging is good

Con's:

- Not easily available

Verdict:

I will DEFINITELY repurchase this product. It's just amazing. Period.


Till the next review!

Ja ne, pretty ladies! ^^
