More Milani Swatches! July 24, 2008

When I got the shadows and lip glosses they didn’t look all cute like they do in the pictures. They were covered in broken shadow mess and it was ugly like this >

So I cleaned them up to make them presentable for my blog!

Here’s a size comparison of the Milani eyeshadow to an Ulta eyeshadow, which is the same size as the Milani blush. I know Milani sells items in much bigger sizes now, so this must be an old packaging.

I thought Storm would be a dupe for the Ulta Galaxy, but Storm is actually more pigmented and darker while Galaxy is more sheer. They both have the micro glitters in them though.

Here’s some more swatches! Rich Chocolate is a matte brown. It’s good to have a mixture of mattes and shimmer and different eyeshadow finishes to add depth to the look. For example if only shimmers were used it would look very flat and not really have dimension.

My poor Storm and Silver Bullet were broken! And subsequently I got Storm pieces on my carpet and it’s not coming out! Not cool man.

Almondine is very close to my skintone, so it’s hard to make out the swatch, but it’s there! I promise! haha

Moonlight and Snow Frost look the same in the pans but it turns out that Moonlight has a blue irridessence to it and Snow Frost has a golden irridessence.
