Review: Milani Baked Eyeshadow & 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer.

 Another Milani review for you. =)

Milani Baked Marbleized Eyeshadow in "Drench in Gold"
3D Holographic Nail Lacquer in "3D"

 Baked Marbleized Eyeshadow

 

"Captivating eyeshadow powder that features multiple infusion of colors baked on Italian terracotta tiles. All of these gorgeous combinations are designed to be used Wet or Dry."

$7.49 on the Milani site

$6.79 at Walgreens

This is my new favorite gold eyeshadow! I'm in love with it.

Pretty when applied dry but amazing when applied wet. It's more of a warmer bronzey gold than a true gold. I don't have any other gold shades like this one so I would def. suggest buying it. You will love it!

I used "Drench in Gold"(dry) for this look.

Swatches:

Sorry for the sucky swatches once again. My camera isn't picking up shimmer or glitter too well but I guess these are better than no swatch at all.

3D Holographic Nail Lacquer

"New specialty nail lacquer that exhibits a unique 3D Holographic effect that no other nail lacquer has ever achieved. The nail lacquer appears to color-shift as the illumination source or the viewing angle changes. This color phenomenon is based on Holographic Image Technology that makes a very thin, bright, embossed metallic flake look like a rainbow. It allows the color to travel from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet; seven distinctive colors of the color spectrum." 
$4.99 on the Milani site and at CVS

I really love the holographic effect of this nail polish. Even though we're dealing with glitters, this nail polish feels smooth to the touch. You get full coverage in 2-3 coats. A pretty gold but I'm not so sure yet how I feel about this color on myself.

Next Milani Review will be on the "Soleil" Baked Bronzer and the Infinite Liquid Eyeliner in "Forever"

Review: Milani Liquif'eye Metallic Liner & HD Advanced Lip Color.

Milani sent over some goodies for me to review! =)

 

Here's what I got:

Milani Baked Bronzer in "Soleil", 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer in "3D", Baked Eyeshadow in "Drench in Gold", Infinite Eyeliner in "Forever", Liquif'eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in "Silver", HD Advanced Lip Color in "Raspberry Blush"

I decided to review these products two at a time instead of boring you with one crazy long post.
Sooo onto the good stuff!

Liquif'eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil

 "An extremely smooth pencil with the application and feel of a liquid liner that delivers true color payoff in a metallic finish with a long-lasting wear."

• All Day Wear
• Smooth Application
• Smudge-Proof
• Paraben Free

There's not much left to say other than what they have already stated. lol

This product does exactly everything that it claims to do which I was very happy about.

Unlike many colorful drugstore liners,you won't need to continuously rub this over your eye to see the color. With one very light sweep you will have gorgeous metallic eyes that last all day long.

This metallic eyeliner comes in 5 colors: Silver, Gold, Black, Brown, and Aqua

You can find these on the Milani site for $7.99.

I was hoping to find them for less while I was at CVS. That was a fail($7.49).. but I just saw them on the Walgreens site for $6.49. =D

I can't wait to buy the others!

HD Advanced Lip Color

"Milani introduces 3-in-1 lip color that nourishes, hydrates, and delivers a sheer wash of color with clarity and perfect radiant shine. It instantly comforts dry, chapped lips, and provides long-term moisturization."

A gorgeous, sheer, cream lip color with a fruity scent.
It's very hydrating on the lips which makes it not feel so much like a lipstick.

Even though these are sheer, they pack the perfect punch of color.

These would be great for those of you who are a little hesitant in trying out this Summers bright lip trend!

Available in 6 pearl and 6 cream shades. 

You can find them on the Milani site $8.99

Walgreens $6.99

 CVS $9.49  oh my! =O


I really love the packaging for both products. A sleek, high end look for great products from a drugstore brand. 



Swatches:

 HD Advanced Lip Color "Raspberry Blush", Liquif'eye Metallic Liner "Silver"



Let me know what you think about these!

MUFE swatches and UDPP pro size.

These are some of my makeup related bday gifts that i haven't had the chance to post yet.

 

Make Up For Ever eyeshadows #5 and #75

Urban Decay Primer Potion pro size

MUFE #75

 

 bright fuschia pink

MUFE #5

matte vibrant coral

I love the look of matte eyeshadows and these definitely pass the test.
They are so smooth and highly pigmented!

They're also larger than many eyeshadows.
Compared to a MAC eyeshadow in size..
 MAC is .05oz and MUFE is .08oz

I 'm officially in love with their matte eyeshadows and i must get some more<3
Can't wait to post a look using these!

UDPP original and pro size

I just wanted to show you the original next to the new pro size so you can see the difference.
The original is .34 fl oz and the pro size is .85 fl oz. 

Payless Beauty Lines Review.

I was sent some Payless beauty items from my friend Luis @ prconexion =]

(thanks again!)

to read about their new beauty lines check out my last post 

 The Goods:

Zoe & Zac Naturals hand sanitizer and lip butter

Unforgettable Moments mini nail trio, perfume, and mini lip gloss set

silver dangling earrings

and a pink and purple fedora(which i forgot to take a pic of)

onto the beauty products...

Mini Nail Trio

$7.99

Clearly in Love, Pink Sheer, Maid of Honor

the colors are a little off in this pic.. they look a bit darker in person

Pink Sheer is just that.. a pretty, sheer pink.

Maid of Honor is a nice darker shade of red.. 

i'm not really a red nail polish girl but i wore this on my nails and loved it =]

it held up just as good as any of my other polishes

Charmed Perfume

$19.99

"Tease the senses with our signature fragrance, Charmed. This exciting eau de toilette splashes you with an ultra-fine mist of sensual woods, oriental spices and fresh florals for just the right amount of flirty fragrance."

I was very surprised that this actually smelled really good!

Love the light scent it has.. I still can't believe that it's from Payless lol

Mini Lip Gloss Set

$9.99

Whisper, Paradise, Spice, Desire

All 4 are very shiny and shimmery glosses.

My fav is Spice.

I think Desire is also really pretty.. just not on me.

 

The Zoe & Zac Naturals apricot lip butter($3.99) is very moisturizing, free of parabens, and not tested on animals.

The Zoe & Zac Naturals hand sanitizer($2.99) is supposed to smell like citrus passionfruit but it reminds me of Orange Glo cleaner lol

Have you bought anything from the new beauty lines yet?

If so, how do you like the products?

NYX Swatches

Glitterati Glitter Cream Palette

(1st pic w flash.. 2nd pic w/o flash)


glitter can be annoying and very messy
that's why i rarely use it
but it does add that extra glam to your look

when applying these-
-do not use sweeping motions unless you just want a few sparkles here and there
-pat it on with a flat shadow brush to pack on the glitter
-also i feel like they cover better when used after a primer
*some colors pack on easier than others

overall it is a pretty good palette if u don't mind the mess that comes with using glitter

Update: Save your money. You can't apply these over eyeshadow because it will mess up/remove your makeup even if used with a primer. I still haven't figured out a way to make these work. Such a shame since the glitters are gorgeous. =(

NYX

Sheer Gloss in *Peach*
Blush in *Pinky*
Glitter Powder in *Gold*
Glitter on the Go in *Fuschia*

i only bought the lipgloss because i liked how the tube is decorated lol.
it has lips all over it and they're pink!

but now i'm not liking it so much.
only cuz the tube isn't plastic so when i squeeze out the gloss it doesn't go back to its normal shape.. it just stays that way..

the gloss is really nice though

i think i might be in love with the blush. its so...... piink!

here are swatches of the NYX blush and the Sephora blush in Rose Rebelle from my last post (i forgot to show a swatch of it)

my next makeup purchase will def. be from here...
