BEAUTY: Milani Everyday Eyes Palette Review

Milani Everyday Eyes Palette in Bare Necessities

Maybe this is just me, but I haven't heard much chatter around the internet about these new-ish eyeshadow palettes from Milani called Everyday Eyes Powder Eyeshadow Collection. That could be attributed to the less-than-catchy name, but it definitely can't be attributed to the quality of the product. This thing is amazing. 

I'm not one to get the vapors from a neutral palette, but sometimes a girl needs a basic collection in her stash. Looking for an affordable option, I found this guy, and what was supposed to be an occasional necessity became a daily workhorse.

The Basics: You get six shadows, a dual-ended brush and a handy set of instructions on the back of the palette, if you need a reference (see above). Each shadow serves a purpose and is labeled as such, like 'base' and 'crease' but you can, and should, use them in any combo you see fit.

Why I Love It

• The color payoff is great, and not just great for drugstore eyeshadow - legitimately great
• It's universal - most, if not all, of these shades will work on a variety of skin tones
• The texture is buttery and smooth
• Such an easy go-to eye look - goes with everything and simple to apply
• Great for traveling/throwing in a bag
• The brush is actually useable! 
• The base shade is worth the price alone - shimmery and beautiful as a highlight
• The packaging is mirrored gold, plus it snaps closed securely

Why You Need It

• It's about $10 at the drugstore and you know it'll be on sale (and if not, it will be soon)
• It'll make your life easier, at least in a quick-makeup-look kinda way
• Hey, maybe you don't! But if you need/want a neutral palette this one will satisfy you!
• It also comes in five other color schemes, including vivid brights
• You'll wear that shimmery base shade in one way or another every damn day
