Naturally Chic Neutral Eyes with Milani!


Happy ass Sunday Zombies!

A few days ago, I decided to test out the new Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez pencils from Milani and did a quick look with a few of the shades. I wanted to share my experience (and the look with you)! 



For this look I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance as my primer and then Shadow Eyez in "Sand Dunes" on my main lid, "Cafe Au Lait" in the crease, "Golden Bronze" on the lower lash line and "Black Ink" in my waterline. I applied upper liner and mascara.

My thoughts: The Shadow Eyez are super easy to apply and so creamy! I was able to blend them easily with my makeup brush. They tend to glide on right from the pencil as well. Black Ink held up well in the waterline, but did not last the whole day- but this is normal for liner in my waterline. I think the main (and probably only) complaint I have about the Shadow Eyez is that after about an hour of wear, it felt as if my eyelids were sticking together- so I don't know that they ever fully *dried* on my lids. I can NOT stand that feel. They did not crease in the 8+ hours of wear, which is a huge bonus to me. I will be trying them without primer in the future or over a different primer to see if that makes a difference. 

I really adore this look. It was very shiny in person and I received several compliments on it. :)

Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez Eyeshadow Pencils! SWATCHES!


Good evening Zombies!

I have a great post for you, involving Milani and some kick ass new Shadow Eyez pencils. I can already tell you're drooling, so let's just move along shall we?

Milani has released 6 new Shadow Eyez, all in neutral shades, but with a kick! These pencils are amazing. Each and every single one was creamy, smooth, and super pigmented. I'm very impressed, even MORE impressed than I was with the first batch of Shadow Eyez. Milani seriously has my heart these days!

New colors:
Black Ink: matte finish
Espresso Lane: matte finish
Almond Cream: matte finish
Golden Bronze: metallic finish
Cafe Au Lait: matte finish
Sand Dunes: metallic finish

I am in LOVE with Golden Bronze and Sand Dunes. Black Ink will make an amazing black base to layer color over. I can not believe how awesome these new shades are. The biggest selling point for me is that they last a LONG time once applied. The dry down and do not budge, unlike some bases that stay at bit tacky. These bad boys dry completely.

These shades are limited edition (sad, I know) and will retail for $6.99 (may vary from location) at participating, CVS, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart, and from the Milani website itself.

Have you been able to snag some of these shades? What are your favorite colors?
