Milani Runway Eyeshadow: Blue Lagoon

Milani Blue Lagoon Runway Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.07 oz.) looks so full of beautiful blue promise, but it really falls flat.  This was the worst shade that I tried out of the six (there are twelve in total, so I don’t know how it compares against the six I haven’t tried)–it’s just so sheer.  It’s even ridiculously sheer when used wet.  The color practically disappears, and instead of a brightened medium blue, you get this sheered navy blue with flashes of lighter blue sheen.  I think the swatches speak for themselves, to be honest!

Check out my original review for my thoughts on the packaging.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

To be honest, I actually like your swatches! I see how sheer they are, but I love sheer and especially the wet swatch looks quite pretty to me.
I might be the only one to like it, but I do think its nice. 🙂

Yuck. I think I found better quality eyeshadow in those old makeup palettes my parents gave me when I was a kid (the ones that come with 80 or so eyeshadows, nail polish and lipstick that sell for $10 at Walmart…).

I think it would be a great idea if we could browse the reviews by rating. for example, being able to see all the products rated F, like its possible with other tags. I havent seen this option thou maybe you have it already???

This actually reminds of a blue that was in one of MAC’s holiday palettes. I thought it was more pigmented then it turned out to be. Bummer. It was accompanied by an even less pigmented mint color.

honestly everyone says drugstores sell the same stuff as department stores, thats complete bull, spend the 8 extra dollars and buy the same shade by mac.

I would hate to buy this e/s and think I was getting exactly what is in the pan. How deceitful! Is it marketed as sheer at all? I expect to get what I see!
