Milani Naturally Chic Shadow Eyez Swatches





I'm back...with swatches for yall! I just recently spotted these limited edition Milani Shadow Eyez at my local Walgreens. The only shade I didn't get was Black Ink. Otherwise, I got the rest of the collection. They typically retails for $6.99 each, more or less depending on where you purchase them.

Honestly, I really don't get why Milani decided to make these limited edition. I can see most people getting more use out of these neutral shades than their permanent colored Shadow Eyez.
Milani Shadow Eyez pencils are among the best that I have tried and a really great drugstore cream shadow/liner that applies smooth and creamy, pigmented, smudge-proof, budge-proof, water resistant, and crease-proof. My only complaint is that they do set fairly quick so you gotta work with them fast.
I would recommend you get them if you can before they are gone.







Espresso Line - dark chocolate brown, matte finish. I really love the smoky look I got from it when I swatched it on my eyes. I wore it all day yesterday and it did not budge or crease!

Cafe au Lait - medium brown, cool undertone, matte finish.

Golden Bronze - shimmery light golden bronze, almost metallic looking. This one is beautiful. I ended up liking it more than I anticipated.

Sand Dune - shimmery cool tone light beige. This one was a bit on the sheer side.

Almond Cream - light beige, matte finish. I'm not sure yet if I like this one on the lid and on its own as it looked a little patchy when I first tried it or it could be that I didn't blend it fast enough. If I can't use it on its own, it definitely still makes a great base. It's very pigmented and creamy. It does a good job on the waterline but looks a bit heavy. It will work great at a brow highlight too.



I would highly recommend Almond Cream, Cafe au Lait, and Espresso Line as matte cream eyeshadow pencil like these don't come around very often and at this price. I'm really bummed that these are limited edition.

Have you spotted them? Will you get any of these?

  1. Almond Cream looks so pretty.... I have $10 in ExtraBucks at CVS so I think I'll take a look tomorrow and see if that one is in stock. I would love this for a brow highlight.

    1. Espresso Line is great for a brown smoky look. A nice alternative to black.
