Milani Cosmetics is newly available in Canada, and it wasn't until recently that I saw these 12 pan palettes in store. Currently, the Soft and Sultry and the Pure Passion palettes are available at Shoppers Drug Mart. I decided to go for the Pure Passion because I do love my warm tones. The Pure Passion palette has the shades that I love, rose golds and berries. It's also a complete palette in terms of shade range as it has light, medium and deeper shades. I had heard a lot of positive reviews on these palettes and couldn't wait to give it a try.


My first thought was that the packaging was really nice. It feels sturdy, it does have a mirror and it's stepping up the drugstore game. This palette is a great palette for every day and for travel. While you do get very similar looks when you use this palette, I was really happy with the results. I can see myself grabbing for this palette often because it's my kind of neutral palette. The mattes blend, build and layer very well and the shimmers are beautiful. Lasting power was great and I do hope to pick up the cooler toned Soft and Sultry palette at some point.

Overall thoughts: I'm really happy with this palette and I'm happy to have it in my collection. If you didn't know it was drugstore, the performance could pass for higher end eyeshadow. This palette would also be great for beginners because you have everything you need in this palette and wouldn't need to reach for another palette to create a look. I'm so excited that Milani is available in Canada because I'm been really impressed with the products I've tried so far. (Shoppers Drug Mart)
