Milani Color Play Felt-tip Liquid Pen in Black line REVIEW and swatch and comparison to ELF and Lancome Artliner

Strolling through Walgreens today, I saw the Milani Color Play Felt-tip Liquid Pen display. As mentioned in Nouveau Cheap's blog, the collection is limited edition and will be sold at select Walgreens and Fred Meyer stores this month as well as online at Milani.

According to the press release from Milani, these pens can be used on the eyes, face, or body. Milani also advertises that these are "fine felt-tip point for easy application. They are water-resistant & long lasting." The Color Play pen comes in 6 colors: black, blue, green, grey, white, and pink. I chose to stick with the tradition shade of black.

Dior Le Vernis Incognito REVIEW, swatches, dupe

I can't believe I haven't discovered Dior's nail le vernis until now. I have heard so much about it, but I have always went for Chanel nail polishes if I ever felt the need to splurge on nail polishes. Today, I stumbled upon the Dior counter and instantly was drawn to the color Incognito (257). I am a sucker for very neutral and earth tone colors and this nude pink was right up my alley.

Closer look at the brush. For those of you who have not seen closely or have not used Dior's nail polishes, they are very similar to the size of the new Wet n Wild nail polish brushes. It is wider than most drugstore nail polishes, but applies so quickly! 

Also note the shape of the top of the bottle. The edge of it slides downwards and makes removing excess polish from the brush so easy! It doesn't collect and become tacky on the edge of the lid :)

Milani nail polish review: A Rose Mylady

I have been wearing Milani's A Rose Mylady nail polish for a week now and I really enjoy the color it brings to my hands. In the bottle, it looks like a dusty shimmering rose color. On the hands, it looks like a dusty glass pink mauve. 

From far away, the shimmer disappears and I actually get a tanned look to my hands. The polish can even be a pink nude for my nails.

Milani Pure Love LE collection

I am so excited to finally get my hands on this limited collection! I have been hunting for this set of nail polish and eyeshadow for weeks and finally found them at one of my local walgreens. These retail at $4.99 each, so they are very affordable.

The collection contains three nail polish:

wedding dress- a shimmering pearl white

bridesmaid- a shimmering rose gold

Gray tux- black sheer jelly with glitters

And one eyeshadow trio:

true romance: a champagne highlight color, rose bronze lid color, and a smoky black with sparkles (this seem to match the nail polish colors!)

Overall, I love all the colors in this collection. I am a big sucker for feminin

e and neutral colors. Though the nail polish colors are very shimmery, they still ha

ve a composed manner about them. I have posted some watches below.
