Review: Milani Constellation Gel Eye Liners!

To Infinity & Beyond!

Milani released some cosmic awesomeness and I managed to get my hands on it! :-) I've been hearing/reading so many reviews on these Milani Constellation Gel Eye Liners and they have been pretty mixed. Some love them and some feel like Milani in a way tricked us with the glitter over-spray. I decided to give them a try myself and here are my thoughts!

I give Milani props for releasing such a unique collection! The liners look gorgeous in the pan but that glitter goodness is just on the top of each liner, not throughout the product. Priced at only $5.99 I think these are pretty amazing! Unlike most people I'm not upset about the over-spray. It's a beautiful touch to the liners but honestly... would you want a disco ball on your eyes? Not me haha. I love how subtle the shimmers are, they're still noticeable and adds a cool look to your eyes! The actual gel liner is really smooth which is amazing, there's no tugging with application. Here's a closeup of the liners:

*Enchanted Lapis- a sparkling navy blue, this one has gorgeous mix of purple and teal shimmers. This is my favorite from the three! Make sure to click the image to see how stunning the colors are!

*Enchanted Opal- a sparkling black with a mix of silver and magenta shimmers, very pretty! The black base isn't too deep, more of a charcoal.

*Enchanted Emerald- a sparkling emerald with a mix of green, blue and pink shimmers, really unique! The green base is lovely in this one!

As far as wear time, I don't find that they are the most long wearing. They don't set quickly so they are prone to smudging which is a con. But... for me these would be perfect for a night out where you don't need your makeup to last more than 4 hours. These can also be used as bases which is why I think they stay so creamy. The colors are perfect for smokey eyes! They all come with a liner brush which is amazing quality so make sure to keep them.

Bottom line: If you're looking for a cool gel liner that isn't going to last you all day than this would be ideal for you! It's super affordable and perfect for those days that you want to spice up your look. The colors are amazing and like you see in the swatch the shimmer is visible but not as opaque as in the pan. Keep in mind... you're also getting a lot of product! There's 4 grams of product in each so these will last you a long time. These are limited edition so if you've been thinking about it, I'd say go for it! :-)

Review: L'Oreal Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners!

Smooth like Butter!

If you've been searching for a pigmented, smooth and long lasting eyeliner look no further! L'Oreal released these new Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners and they are amazing! They retail for $8.99 at your local drugstores and they are worth every penny. I managed to get these on a BOGO sale and I'm super happy with the color selection. They do have your typical black and silver but I wanted all the bright, bold colors. The L'Oreal site claims that these glide like silk and feel like silk which is really the best way to describe them!

I first purchased the rose gold shade called "highlighter" and fell in love instantly! I initially wanted to use it for the waterline but it ended working better as an inner corner highlight. It stays on all day and makes your eyes pop! I've used it down the bridge of my nose and on my cupids bow...love the outcome!

There's been some talk about the eyeliner being difficult to sharpen due to the gold rim. I haven't sharpened mine yet but I'll keep you posted ;-) I have a feeling that the product is too creamy to the point that it might not be able to stay pointy as I'd like... but we'll see. These liners are the most long wearing I've tried thus far! They don't budge or smudge which is surprising since they are really creamy. These glide on with barely any effort. Here are the swatches:

*Highlighter- a rose gold color, like the name states its perfect for highlighting

*Pure Purple- a bright purple without shimmers, perfect for bringing out brown eyes

*Cobalt Blue- a bright cobalt blue without shimmers, super rich in color, one of my favorites!

*True Teal- a bright metallic turquoise, the brightest within my selection

*Green Ivy- an olive base liner with gold micro shimmers, a great alternative to your typical brown liner!

So after I was done swatching I tried to remove the swatches with a makeup remover wipe but it didn't work. I had to scrub with some soap and water and I still had some residue! That's how you know how long wearing a product is haha.

Bottom line: These are amazing liners and I highly recommend them! They last so long and don't smudge under the waterline which is a huge plus. Lately some of the new liners I've been trying out have been making my eyes water throughout the day. With these I don't experience that at all so if you have sensitive eyes these are perfect for you. They're also a great alternative to liquid liners! Make sure to give these a try because you'll be amazed by this formula! :-)
