Today brings a guest post from Samantha Radakovitz, who I asked to try out some items from Milani Cosmetics. Samantha is studying journalism, with the hope to be a fashion journalist. Here is Samantha’s review, with swatches:
I am in love with Milani Runway Eyes Collection.There are twelve shades total and all include shimmer. I’ve gotten a chance to try them all but I've grown attached to two specific colors that include white lily and black out, mostly because they are two basic colors that go with anything.
The White Lily is a shimmery white that I love to use as a highlighter on top of any of my matte eyeshadows. Black Out is perfect for anyone trying to accomplish smokey eyes plus an addition of shimmer. The little compact comes with an applicator with a brush on one end and a sponge on the other. All the colors are fun and vibrant.
You can check out Milani.com to see the colors and find out more information as well as other products.
I have blue eyes and got tired of wearing the beige/brown colors recommended for blue eyes. Thank God I found Milani Runway Eyes in “Back Stage Basics.” I use the 3 lightest (white/silver/grey)of the 6 shimmery colors. I use white on the inner corners for a wide eyed look. Even though these colors are grey/silver/black, the total effect on my eye is a very subtle shimmery blue. These colors really make my blue eyes pop.
