Milani Champagne Toast Shadow Eyez
Milani Champagne Toast Shadow Eyez
Milani Champagne Toast Shadow Eyez ($6.99 for 0.10 oz.) is a warm champagne beige with a highly reflective, metallic finish. MAC Summer Haze is darker and more of a frosted than metallic finish. Make Up For Ever #13 is darker, less champagne. Urban Decay Sin is a touch darker and less metallic. Cle de Peau #207 is lighter. Inglot #397 is very similar but slightly less warm-toned.
Milani’s Shadow Eyez formula is touted to last for twelve hours and be water-resistant and crease-proof. Champagne Toast was the second shade I tested wear on, and it wasΒ phenomenal–it looked as good after ten and twelve hours as it did when I initially applied it. Β The pigmentation was also top notch, because it was totally opaque in one pass. Β It has a creamy texture that glides across the lid without a single tug or pull, and it deposits smooth, even color.

I’m still so amazed at how far DS cosmetics have come. Will you be reviewing the purple at some point? Also, how easy is it to apply powder shadows over these?
Β @xamyxΒ I didn’t have any problems applying eyeshadow on top π
Β
I don’t like to give out what I am/am not going to review, because I don’t guarantee I will (even if I test it) or may or may not post it soon or in six months! Sorry! I don’t want to say yes and then not do it or not do it for months.
I’m so glad that the hype around these eyeshadow sticks are well warranted! These look like an excellent alternative to the Urban Decay Eyeshadow sticks
thanks for the review, christine! by any chance, do you know if it is waterline safe?
I don’t think Milani mentioned whether it was or not!
Omg, amazing! πΒ
Too bad I can’t find any Milani products in my country ;(
Out of all of the shades, this is the one I was most excited for! At this price point, that color is beautiful and the staying power is, quite honestly, a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the great review, Christine!Β
Cool, love that it still looks great after 12 hours!
Again, these sound amazing. The only thing I wish they did was make it a twist-up pencil. But if having to sharpen the tip every so often is the biggest downfall, I’m all for it. Hopefully I can find these at CVS during my next shopping trip!
Once online store start carrying these I’ll be ordering them for sure. (As chances are Loblaws won’t be getting these for a year in Canada.)
This is a gorgeous color!
Β
Just wondering, why did it lose a point on packaging? Is a lot of product lost with sharpening or is it the cap? That was my problem with the NYX JEPs, the cap kept sliding free and eventually cracked. :/
There’s not a TON TON of product lost, but there is some. It’s a problem with most pencils, unfortunately, which is why very few pencil-packaged products are 4/5 π
This color is beautiful! That’s so crazy how such a creamy product can last on your lids for 10 hours and still look absolutely perfect! Don’t know that it would last that well on my very oily lids, but that’s what a primer’s for I guess!
You can purchase these online rigt? Because we don’t carry milani here π
Β @StephanieTΒ I believe Milani sells them online! I’m not sure if they ship internationally.
Β @StephanieT CherryCulture.com has a great range of Milani products, and they ship internationally.
Wow! This looks incredible! The Urban Decay shadow pencils actually crease on me, and look really dry (which is a totally weird combination), so I’m definitely giving these a look! This looks like what I wanted Sin to look like.
I saw this swatch online last week and today I came so close to buying it. The color is beautiful and all the colors look so pretty. Milani continues to impress me.
I have this pencil and love it! I think I got a bad batch of the UD shadow pencils because I had Sin and ended up returning it due to the very dry texture. When I saw this pencil in Champagne Toast in my CVS I was very interested and to my surprise, this pencil was exactly what I wanted Sin to be. Hope your review urges people to buy this pencil! It’s a steal for the price (:
I had problems with Sin being dry, too! Did you get it in their holiday set? But I’m glad to hear you also had a good experience with the Milani pencil! I’ll definitely pick it up now π
Wow! That’s very interesting to hear! When I mentioned how dry my Sin pencil was to some makeup loving friends they were all really surprised because they had great experiences with it. I bought it in the full size at Ulta and also the shade Rehab. Rehab was not as dry, but I still found it to be dry enough to return both of them. Maybe they were just sitting on the shelf too long? Or could be just a bad batch but I would highly recommend the Milani pencil and don’t have the desire to pick up any more UD pencils now that these exist Β (:
I think this would look better if the edges were blended.Β I’m pretty sure that is the intention.Β Pretty color though!
Wow, i cant believe that a cream eyeshadow can support for 12 hours! This is amazing!
Looks better on the eyes than I expected! Β I thought it would be rather bland. Β I stand corrected!
This was without a primer?? Wow…I wish the NYX jumbo pencils were the same…those suckers crease in .002 seconds on my lids π
Β @CourtneyCampos
Β I know! and this is nearly an exact Dup for Yogart, i have both and this stays on so much better.
Now that Urban Decay is no longer cruelty free this will be a great alternative! Thanks for the review! I love the color!
Wow. Just WOW!!!
I have got to find these around me. My local Walgreens has a tiny Milani display but none of these, and I haven’t seen it elsewhere π but I will keep looking, or give up and order online.
@blueraccoon Target may carry these, if you have one where you live. The Target near me has a fairly large Milani section, especially pencil products. HTH
What a formula! What a shame they don’t have more colours. I can’t see myself actually wearing any of the range on offer – maybe if they had a pewter/charcoal/dull grey or an aubergine…Β
:O it lasts a LOT. the green, purple and blue would be cool to wear
That looks so nice, with just the kind of hot-weather staying power I need.
Amazing! You wore this without a primer underneath, Christine? Great review…thank you!
Β @BlushinForeignrΒ No primer! π
OMG!!! What a formula! It looks flawless even after 12 hours! WOW!!! Just WOW!!!
An A for a drugstore product? Way to go Milani! π
absolutely amazing! I NEED THIS!Β
Β
this would look soooo gorgeous as an everyday eyeshadow with a matte light brown in the crease.
Β
i like the maybelline color tattoos but i dont like sticking my finger in the pot lol so this pencil will be great.
Hi Christine, How do you think this compares to Chanel’s Illusion d’Ombre in Emerveille in color? Do you think it would be a cheaper alternative? I’ve been wanting Emerveille for quite a while now, but the price is horrendous for just that thing.
Β @EricaNΒ They’re somewhat similar – the finishes are really different. It might be worth trying.
Not really a unique color and I probably have something like this already… but I still want it. *____*
Β
Haha, glad to hear the good review though. ^^ Thanks!
This looks like a nice product! I still can’t get over the “Z” in “eyez”, though! Haha, oh well, I guess that’s not really important.Β
Could you use it in your waterline?
No idea – I don’t know if it’s safe.
Wow, this looks gorgeous on you after 12 hours! How did you get it to stay on? I have the exact same one and mine creases and disappears after 3 hours in normal office conditions (cool, not moving around much, lids are regular and not particularly oily). Any advice you can give on getting this to stay put would be helpful! Thanks π
I just applied it over bare lids – nothing special for me here! Β The only thing I could suggest is using primer.
I bought this shade today and tested it out. It is amazing! Like MUFE Aqua Cream in a pencil form. I can’t compare it to the new MUFE shadow pencils, but they’re about the same as the creams. π I’m going to be a few more.Β
