Maybelline Pink Wink Eyeshadow (New formula/Packaging): Review & Swatches

If you haven't noticed Maybelline Re-packaged all their eyeshadows and wrote "new" on all of them so I picked up a color I hadn't seen in the old packaging and decided to try it out. It was about $4 for a single shadow, same price as before. I originally saw this at walgreens but now even RiteAid has switched over. 

The packaging is sleeker in a flat square shape but stills has a clear part showing the color. The one I got is Pink Wink!
The back is nothing special, it just shows you that this is meant as a lid color.
This view shows the gold duo-chrome effect.
Here shows the pink shift in color.
Here is a slightly layered swatch.

  • Similar texture to the lilac shade in the old packaging and less creamy than the gold
  • Sheer color, not super pigmented
  • looks pretty layered over other shadows, might do a look soon
  • Has a slight glittery look but doesn't feel glittery
  • Slightly powdery and dry, but the color is worth it

Milani has done it again! This is essentially a brow pomade. The range includes 5 shades, retailing at only $6.99.  This product is already up on the milani site, and I found mine a few weeks ago in-stores.  I bought mine in the second shade, 02 Natural Taupe "Light Taupe for Golden Blonde to Light Ash Brown Hair" Comes with it's own brush More on the"golden blonde" side
Here I used it in my brows The brushAngled side:Average angled brush, not too flimsy, great for filling in browsSpoolie side:A little harsh, not as good at spreading the brow product aroundGoes on as a creamSets into place, doesn't move throughout the dayIn some lights this shade looks a little too warm, in other lights a green tingeOverall a fairly good color matchAffordable alternative to say Dipbrow by Anastasia Beverly HillsA little product goes a long wayWon't run out for a long time Overall, This is a great brow product, at a great price! It's not the kind of product that has a…
