For some of you MILANI might be common knowledge but for others not so much. I picked up a few of their products from both Walmart and Target. The items I purchased were 3 eyeshadow "palettes" called Runway Eyes which have 6 colors each @ $8ea.!! These colors are brilliant, very pigmented and shimmery. My favorite out of the 3 I have is "Haute Couture", this one has a very bright pink, emerald green, two purples a gold and a silvery white. The shadows can be used dry for daytime wear or wet for a bold and more dramatic effect.Let me tell you I love these shadows. They don't really have the feel as the more expensive brands but they are easy to blend and still give the look of fabulosity. The only things that I can see wrong with this product is the fact that the shadows are rectangular in shape and when you use your brush to get one color you end up swiping the colors either on top of or below it and they break easily. Besides those things I feel that they are a must have especially for beginners and those who are scared to play with color!

Next, Secret Cover Concealer Cream
This by far not the best concealer but it does the job. The colors seem a little off to me but depending on the application it can still help your face look flawless. Its not very flexible so it doesn't spread easy. I do like to use it as a spot treatment so to speak. If you want complete correction that matches your skin exactly this is not the product for you. If you have a lot of acne scarring that needs to be covered up this is not the product for you. All in all I'm going to use it until its gone but still keep searching for the best drugstore cover up.

Final product: MILANI Brow Fix
Me personally, I have never been one to fill in my brows because they are naturally thick. One day I got a little tweezer happy and over plucked. Hey we ALL do it at some point! Well I was looking for something other than a pencil to fill them in and while in Walgreens I couldn't find anything else that day. The highlighter color in this kit I don't really care for but others might love it. The actual brow colors are pretty decent. Since my brows are black I had to clean up my over plucked mess and trim the brows. After I played with this kit and mixed the two brow colors together it worked! It looks natural and only takes minutes especially when using a great angle brush.I say get it from Walgreens play with it and if you don't like it you can return it. YES!! Walgreens refunds and/or exchanges makeup that you don't like so what is there to lose.I like it and I recommend it.

A-
MILANI offers tons of products for women of color and I've only tried a few but so far I am very impressed. I've heard alot about the liners (both eye and lip), glosses and matte finish shadows are really good. Soon as I can get my hands on a few of them I will review them. As always I say buy it and play with it. If you don't like it put it to the side and find a use for it later unless its from Walgreens and just take it back!
