Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on liner vs Milani Liquif'eye metallic eye liner pencils
A few days ago I posted a February haul video and featured the Milani eye liner pencil in 01 Black and briefly mentioned how I heard it was a dupe for the Urban Decay liner in Zero...but I couldn't say much about it because I hadn't tried it yet.
Well, since then I've used the Milani eye liner a few times and I'm ready to share my thoughts on it now. =)
This Milani liner blows the Urban Decay liner out of the water!
Convinced yet?
I definitely recommend trying the Milani liner if you are already a fan of the Urban Decay one... you won't be disappointed. =)

Its pigmentation, smoothness, staying power and price makes it a better eye liner pencil.It is a true jet black, and an intense one too (the metallic in the color is very subtle and is very fine).It easily glides on, no tugging on the skin whatsoever.It doesn't claim to be waterproof, but it is long lasting (use with an eye primer to achieve maximum staying power).Available at drug stores, it also comes with a drug store price (I got mine for under $7).Both the Urban Decay (which retails $17) and Milani liners are 1.2g in quantity.

Essence Beauty Cosmetics - an Intro and overview
I was recently introduced to a new line of cosmetics.
I personally spoke with the owner, Tennille about her line and here is what she said:
Products are:
Waterproof mechanical eye liner pencil in Copper Brown (1.1 g)-
The product name describes the color well. It is exactly that. It is a great color to accent the eyes and give you a pop of color on your water line. It also stays put and does not budge. It is quite pigmented.
Mineral eye shadow in Brown Stone (1.5 g)-
This is a warm brown with a little bit of an orangey undertone to it. Swatched it has some silver flecks but on the lids it doesn't show- so it's not matte but not shimmery either. It is quite pigmented and can be used all over the lid with either a darker colored shadow in the outer crease or a light shimmery shadow on the top lid blended out (which is how I wore this).
Mineral blush in Brava (11 oz)-
This is a peachy (terra cotta) brown and in the pan there is some tiny gold flecks but on the face it has a nice matte finish. It is pigmented. Great for that dusty peachy/brown blush look with great staying power. I don't have anything like this and this is definitely my favorite out of the three products.
Swatches:
Here's a picture of how these products look on the face. =)
As you can see I'm Asian with medium beige skin (in Mac terms, I am about an NC25-30) and I think these colors flatter my skintone quite well.
If you have darker skin, it would still look great!
Lighter skin toned women can still use these products but I would just be careful and use sparingly as the products might be too pigmented and/or dark for those with light skin tones.
Close up of the eyes:
Thanks for reading ladies!!
