Milani Infinite Liquid Liner...MAC liquidlast dupe?

I'm on a MAC dupe roll! ...kinda :). I recently purchased Milani's Infinite Liquid Liner from cherryculture as a part of a haul you can check out here. This was in efforts to save me a couple bucks from always purchasing MAC's liquidlast liner. I swear I go through that MAC liner like a baby goes through diapers. I love it! MAC's liquidlast is the perfect liner! Its very black, and stays that color for as long as your wearing it! Also, it lasts a LONG LONG LONG time (hence the name) through sweat, humidity and even tears!!! Although not recommended, you can sleep with that liner, toss and turn, rub your eyes, and wake up looking EXACTLY THE SAME. Its amazing. The only negative about it is that its $16.50 for .084 oz. Using this almost everyday, one tube will last me about 2 months or less. Towards the end of of usage the consistency of it gets really goopy and hard to work with as well.

So Ive read a lot of raves about Milani's Infinite Liquid Liner and I thought at $5.99, its worth a shot. Oh and if your interested in it as well or any other Milani products, cherry culture is having a %15 off sale!!!

Back to the liner...as you will see in pics, Milani's eyeliner doesn't have a true black color to it, Its sort of a really really dark charcoal. This doesn't bother me though as Ive used this a few times and it looks just as black.

The Breakdown

Can you tell I need a job? LOL. So basically Milani's Infinite liner fufills EVERYTHING that I was raving about on my rant above for the liquidlast liner. It last through whatever, has a very black color and  its less than half the price!!!

One thing to note is that Milani has a more limited color selection than MAC. Again, this doesn't bother me because I only use black. Also, Milani's liner takes a wee bit longer to dry (maybe 5 seconds at the most).

 Milani's Infinite Liquid Liner in Everlast

 MAC's Liquidlast Liner in Point Black

 Brush comparisons

Point Black on left, Everlast right

 Swatches, with and without flash

Everlast is in the left, Point Black right. You can see that Point Black dries in a matte finish

 Rubbed after 15 seconds. I think I rubbed the Milani one too quickly, Since the Milani one takes longer to dry, it smeared easy. I will say that I've worn the Milani liner and the lasting power proved just as strong as MAC's

Has anyone tried Milani's Eye Tech Liquid Liner? I want to try that one because I like the felt applicator but I wonder if it has the same lasting power as the Infinite one...

Well, thats all folks!

Cherry Culture Haul

The past two days were killer for me!!! I was running on 2 hours sleep yesterday and when I finally got to sleep at 2 (from being awake since 5 am) I didn't wake up until 12:30am! On top of that, I woke up super sore from raking a shit load of leaves from some volunteer work in the morning (which was NOT what I expected to do when I signed up to volunteer at the zoo) It was fun though and I will definitely do it again next month. I feel like shit though because I missed my best friends birthday due to my hibernation. I had the worst feeling waking up. I really didn't expect to be asleep for that long. Im really going to try and make it up though, anyone have any surprise ideas???
