When it comes to cruelty free drugstore products, Milani Cosmetics have always been one of my favorite brands. They are incredibly affordable (so affordable it’s ridiculous!), which is great because they are always coming out with fun and inventive colors and products. This makes Milani Cosmetics a great drugstore go-to brand for spicing up a personal make up collection without spending a lot of money. Their products are readily available at CVS and cherryculture.com.
I consider myself a sheer lip gloss girl on a day-to-day basis and their Glizty Glamour Gloss is somewhere between a lip gloss and a lipstick. They are creamy, thick and packed with color that is definitely noticeable on my lips. I really love High Status because it’s lighter and has tiny little flecks of gold in it. Showstopper is a bright, bubblegum pink!
I don’t wear lipstick too often because I prefer really glossy lips, but I like how these lipsticks are also really creamy and come in really fun colors. Red Label is such a bright red alternative for the summer. I had fun playing with Nude Creme and Barely There because they are mauve colors that I normally wouldn’t try but they inspired some new make up looks for me!
I am SUPER impressed with the Milani Shadow Eyez. I really love how pigmented and vibrant the colors are in this product line. The product itself is really versatile and can be used as a bright liner or eye shadow cream base. Just be careful not to apply them too thickly or too high above the eye crease in order to prevent creasing.
Using a liquid black eyeliner can really dress up your normal make up routine. If you have never tried a liquid eyeliner or have found one easy to apply, I’d try Milani Eye Tech Liquid Eyeliner. It’s short and easy to hold and applies smoothly.
Which Milani product do you want to try this summer?
Love the shadow sticks swatches…very pretty!
I’ve been using Milani products for a while now and they’re great!. I recommend them to everybody.
Super impressed with the bold blue on the Milani Shadow Eyes! Wow! LOVE it! So happy to see this affordable cosmetics line at my local CVS! Thanks Lauren for this amazing review! 🙂
Thanks for the review. I love that make up products. It has a good color and I really love that shadow sticks!
I used to notice Milani at the drugstore a few years ago…but I was hesitant to buy any since I didn’t know if they were cruelty free and if their products were well made.
I am so glad to see them getting good reviews in the blogger community, otherwise I never would have tried them.
I have been seeing alot about Milina. I dont usually follow the trends. I have been seeing alot of bright eye colors and metallics. So know I am intrigued. I would love to try the barely there and make it pop with that beatiful green.
