Nail of the Day: China Glaze For Audrey

So I had been reluctant to actually buy this polish. Not sure why, but I figured it was a shade I could easily find a dupe for. Well, I never really found anything, and so I went ahead and snatched it up. And, I'm glad, cause I love it. I love China Glaze polishes, they apply well, have great formulas and the bottle design is nice. Oh, and they are not expensive at all. I used two coats in this picture. It applied nicely, formula was good, not too thick or watery. Typically a cream needs 3 coats to get it even but not in this case. Once again my picture does not do it justice. It is supposed to be close to the blue in the Tiffanys packaging. I would say it's pretty close. It's not a true blue as my picture shows, it's a tad dustier with a little bit of grey. Amazing color!  Sorry the application is not perfect. I am lazy and don't usually go back to clean up the edges.

Review: Milani LIQUIF'EYE Metallic Eyeliner Pencil - Aqua

I picked up this liner when I was last at Target. I had wanted to try this shade based on some reviews I had seen. I only picked up the Aqua shade so that I could see how I liked it. I tend to have fairly oily skin, especially in the hot summer we are having.  So I typically use gel liners versus pencils since they wear better on me.  The only pencils I have found so far that are great on wear are the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils.  Well....mover over UD, looks like you have some Milani competition!  I love this pencil!


The aqua color is amazing! Just a beautiful and bright shade of blue. it really stands out especially against tan skin.  I would suggest this color to anyone, especially if you are not shy and can wear bright, bold colors.  The photos I attached do not do it any justice. It looks almost green in the pix but it is really a true aqua blue color.  It is slightly metallic, but not a full metal liner.

It applies very smooth and creamy but sets quickly, you do have enough time to blend though.  It lasts for a good 8 hours without any creasing or smudging. It is a really impressive and long-wearing formula.  I even tried to take it off in the shower with my regular face soap and I still had to go back with my Almay eye makeup remover pads.  It has a nice package, very sleek looking. The color is true to what it looks like, not watered down at all.


Sorry for the crappy pix. I don't have my camera and had to use my cell phone :(


I bought mine at Target, but I can also find it at CVS. You can also check out the Milani site: http://www.milanicosmetics.com/p-74-liquif-eye-metallic-eyeliner-pencil.aspx
