I finally (quite a few weeks ago) purchased the not so new anymore single Runway Milani Shadows. They were so sparkly and pretty on the shelves, practically calling my name! My eyes would dazzle dressed in those shadows! In the drugstore, they retailed about $6, so I wanted to be sure that for a single shadow, I would love it.
I picked up: Bronze Doll and Silver Charm 
I got home, mesmerized by the sparkles, and couldn't wait to tear them open! Agh! I was duped! The sparkles are only a top layer of sparkles!
Gah! Oh well... they give decent color pay off and are still pretty metallic and gorgeous with a velvety feel. I look forward to using them (after ditching the quirky, curved, double ended brush thingy.)
(with flash)
Do any of you have any favorite colors from this lineup?

I just picked up Caribbean Sea (sky blue) Shamrock (green) Coffee Shop (deep bronze brown)and blue lagoon (navy blue) Haven't really don't swatches or tried them out yet though. I finally found mine at K-Mart after looking forever for them.
Hehe, I'm actually pretty tickled by the bendy brush and sponge :P
i personally love the shamrock as well. and the leaf green, great combo
Now I've heard about these but have yet to actually haul 'em and play with them. Maybe I will on a lunch break. The colors look pretty vibrant. What's the stay power look like?
cant wait to see a fotd with these. i saw them in wal-greens the other day and was pretty hesitant about them. they seem to be really pigmented though. and that brush looks crazy lol
oh wow those are really vibrant!
WTF! @ the brush. LOL :)
Hello, I stumbled across your blog through another blog. But yes, it's decieving that the layer of sparkles is just the top layer. I thought it was like that throughout the eyeshadow.
lol, glad i'm not the only one who did a chuckle or two at that little applicator. I'll give them kudos for creativity tho. And I agree, it's quite pigmented. Thanks for the post yummy. I love drugstore finds for the cost effectiveness, but i'm always cautious with buys because I don't get to test them out before purchasing. Your swatches helped, so I think I might be giving them a try :-)

I got mine from Target. I dont even use that little wack brush, its like my hands are too big to use it or something...in any event I already had the dark brown/bronze one. Sorry I dont know the name because I was so eager to use it that I accidentally took the sticker off the back while opening. About two weeks ago I picked up Blue Lagoon, Leaf Green and Silver Charm and thats only because those were the only ones left! I LOVE my brown/bronze one so I dont expect anything less with the others I just picked up. How are the other Milani products? I havent ventured out to try them yet.
Damn it, Ihave yet to use mine! They're still wrapped LOL Lovely swatches. Girl get some Ben Nye... LOL I've been posting that everywhere so <333
Ohhh sooo true :) I've been playing with them since I tackled down the mail lady and they blend pretty well. I even made different colors of my own :D MAC breaks my bank account so maybe this is a good thing for me. I'll live thru my MAC lemmings thru you hehe <3
ohhh those are so pretty. i have not seen them in the stores around here yet, or i haven't been looking. very nice! reminds me of MAC msf shadows for some reason.
i'm gonna have some product giveaways on my page. if you're interested, please go on my page, read the post, and then give your opinion in the comments so i can get the giveaways started. i'm trying to see if i should only have one grand price winner or 3 winners.
nice haul kia :)
I love these so much! Good quality for a ds brand ;)
Enjoy!
Looking forward to an FOTD!
I was looking at the Milani Runway Shadows at Target but I wasn't very interested. Now that looking at your swatches and how pigmented it is I really like it. I'll have to go back then. Thanks for posting!

@ shana: i'm glad you got these shadows! i'm a fan of milani's blushes, shadows, the satin lipsticks, the shimmer strips and the pressed powder.. oh and the nail polish (on acrylics/gel or what have you). one other thing, i do love their glitzy gloss. so a search on my blog for milani and you'll see the items i like or recommend!

I haven't tried anything from Milani but I want to. And that curved brush is not the business.
afrodite, i highly recommend the glitzy gloss in all about me! i did a review on it. not as compelling on me, but try it out for yourself ;)
okay, i must be the only one on earth who doesn't own a single milani eyeshadow... :0/
yes (g) get on it!! LOL.. i am surprised though!
