Thrifty Thursday! Starring Milani Deep Thoughts with Comparisons to Chanel and Illamasqua


It's Thursday again! Time for a thrifty find and I have a great one for you this evening...Milani Deep Thoughts. I'm not sure which collection this is, but I found it mid-2012 at my local drug store. It was in the same collection as Orchidia, Dark Coffee and Teddy Brown if that helps.


Deep Thoughts is a deep, almost blackened royal purple shimmer polish with fuchsia and violet shimmer. Formula was perfect. No issues. I used 2 coats and no top coat for the photos.

What do you think? I love it and the formula is great. But...a few people have already asked for comparisons, so let's see how it compares to Chanel Taboo, Chanel Vendetta and Illamasqua Baptiste...

Illamasqua Baptiste and Chanel Vendetta


As you can see, they're not dupes, but it certainly has the same "look" about it. There's more of the fuchsia shimmer in Baptiste. Vendetta is darker and has more of a blackened red-purple base while Deep Thoughts is more of a blue-purple base. Taboo has larger shimmer particles and more red in the base.

Is it close enough to any of those for you?

For $4.99, it's pretty hard to beat. Cruelty-free and Big 3-Free and widely available at drug stores nationwide and on milanicosmetics.com.

  2. Wow Milani certainly does keep up with the high end polishes doesn't it? I like the Illamasqua one best but the Milani is my second pick and is a more blue toned. Beautiful color.
