Hello
everyone ♥
Today's
review is all abolut NYX's duo – soft matte lip cream &
eyeshadow in the shade #Milan (№3 and
№4 from NYX's advent calendar for Christmas
2016)
I
wrote more about the advent calendar, products that contains, etc in
my previous post for the duo Monte Carlo, so I'll just link the
review to check it if you havent -

and let's move to Milan :))
Of
course I have to mention how cute the print on the advent windows is
– shoes, gift boxes, domino and makeup ♥
As
you know NYX's soft matte lip creams are in tubes that are colored in
a shade that matches the color of the lipstick which is cool, but I
don't think Milan's tube matches it's color. The tube is in dusty
nude-pink shade and I was expecting a nude-ish lip color but I was
surprised to see that Milan is actually fuchsia?!
Milan
is a muted
fuchsia shade
(fuchsia
is a combinatioln of hot pink and purple, mostly cool toned)
and a
bit more
on the pink side.
Pink
it's definetely not my color, I don't think it suits my yellow toned
skin and I'm always sceptical when it comes to pink makeup. Fuchsia
is more flattering on me because is purple based and surprisingly
this fuchsia shade looks good on me, although it's a bit lighter than
I prefer. At first when applied on the lips Milan is more pink, but
after it sets (~10 min) it becomes completely matte and a bit
more on the purple side.
I would say Milan's undertone
is neutral
and probably it would suit a lot of women.
Pigmentation
is
buildable, on
the lips swatch looks like it's a bit sheer but in person it looks
fully opaque.
It
requires 2
layers
for full opacity.
I find a difference
in the consistency
of Milan compared to Monte Carlo – Milan has a lot drier
consistency and it's a bit harder to apply, while Monte Carlo applies
like melted butter on the lips and it's almost fully opaque on 1
layer. This
is quite surprising because they're both bold colors and should be
opaque.
I
didn't expect to like Milan but I like it, although pink it's not my
cup of tea. I wear it sometimes and I even get compliments :)) I wear
it in a combinatons with matte black eyeliner and it looks so dolly
and youthful. Longevity
it's around
3 to 4 hours and you definetely need to reapply it after having a
meal.
The
eyeshadow in the shade Milan is in cool
toned brown shade which probably most
of you would clasiffied as super boring but I'm super glad that I
have it. Matte neutral shades always come in hand for me.
This one
has slightly grey undertone
and that makes it perfect for using it as an eyeliner, as a crease
shade or as an eyebrow powder. Right when
I saw it I was sure I have something really similar – the shade
Boxed from Sleek's
palette Oh So Special (review:
http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2015/03/reviewsleek-i-divine-oh-so-special_18.html).
Both shades are quite similar as you can tell from
the swatch below, but Boxed is a tone lighter than Milan and Milan is
more pigmented. Lately I've used Boxed to fill in my eyebrows and now
I'm using Milan for over a month for this and for doing my eyemakeup
and I have to say I'm impressed with the quality. Shimmery and pearly
eyeshadows are easy to make and even the cheapest brands do them the
right way but matte eyeshadows are on a whole another level. Most
matte eyeshadows have dry consistency and even if they're soft
they'll probably crumble and leave a ton of fall outs on your face.
Milan has soft
and almost buttery consistency, high
pigmentations with
just one swipe and it does crumble but it's minimal. Longevity
is great
– on my eyes and on my brows it stays until I remove it.
I
definetely recommend you this eyeshadow (as far as I know it would be
avaliable soon), it's really high quality and the matte lip cream
it's nice if you're into fuchsia. I have to say that I won't buy the
lipstick myself but I end up liking it on me. I plan on wearing it
during the spring more often. That's all for today, next time it's
duo's Prague turn (№5 and №6).
