Milani

Milani has always felt like an underrated drugstore brand, and I don’t know if that has had a lot to do with accessibility in stores or not, but now that they’re more readily available online, I feel like they’re getting the love they deserve. It’s one of the few drugstore brands that I feel I can rely on to put out decent to good powder-based products (eyeshadow, blush, etc.), which is an area that has improved significantly in the last couple of years in drugstore/mass brands but Milani’s been better in that area for years. I also like that their packaging seems a bit nicer for the price point–doesn’t feel super flimsy most of the time.
