Dollar Tree/Milani Haul!

Can we talk about what happened the other day?? I went to my hometown Dollar Tree, and SCOURED the cosmetic section and came up with a TON of amazing things, including SEVEN Milani Baked Eyeshadows and two of their Runway Eyes eye shadows. I got all of this for $15!! FIFTEEN DOLLARS Y'ALL! What?!?
In the mix, is nine Milani Eye shadows, some Wet N'Wild Color Icon Glitter, two L.A. Colors eyeshadow palettes (which I LOVE), and 2 Almay Wake Up Eyeshadow palettes.
The Milani eyeshadows I picked up all retail for $7.99. Let me put that into perspective... I got $72 worth of eyeshadow for $9. It's crazy. Im not sure if these are discontinued colors or not, but they are beautiful.
The colors are: (Pictured in order from left to right, black and silver cases are baked eyeshadows)
Royalty (Runway Eyes, not baked)
Must Have Fuchsia
I Heart You
Copper Excess
Drenched In Gold
Green Fortune
Fusion
Rich Java
Black Out (Runway Eyes)
All of the baked eyeshadows are highly pigmented, and very soft in consistancy. The Runway eyes... not so much. They are great, dont get me wrong, but you do have to work a little harder to get any off and you definitely have to build on the color or use it wet if you want it to be more pigmented. Here are the swatches.
I am WILD about Fusion and Rich Java. I love them all but those are my two favorites.
A few other things I bought:
Almay Wake Up Eyeshadow Trio with Primer in Invigorate and Exhilarate- Retails $8
These are very pretty, and come with a primer in the pallette!
L.A. Colors Eyeshadow Trio in Orchid: Retail- $1.50
These eyeshadow trios are EVERYTHING. The shadow is so soft has a beautiful texture. If you're familiar with Wet N'Wild's Color Icon trios, the texture is very similar. You will hear me rave about the Wet N'Wild shadows A LOT!
L.A. Colors 6-eyeshadow palette in Lucky: Retails-Around $2
These palletes are not quite as rich in texture and as pigmented as the trio was... not sure why. I'm thinking that's possibly one of the reasons it ended up at The Dollar Tree. I will say however, that the colors are very pretty, and I normally even dont go for green shadows.
Wet N'Wild Color Icon Glitter Single in Groupie: Retails-$1
This is literally just glitter in a clear cream base. It's not great alone, but would be pretty layered over other shadow or used as a glitter liner.
And that's it, guys! Just to recap, I got, in total, about $92 worth of cosmetics for $15! I am honestly still flabbergasted that I managed to essentially STEAL these away! I'm telling you all... RUN, don't walk to The Dollar Tree and find some great deals. I'd also suggest checking them often, as their stock changes weekly.
Tomorrow: A review of the elf Jasmine Beauty Book!
With love & frugal fabulous-ness,
