I got an iconic lipgloss with the Milan duomo and my name on the lid. I waited in line for 30-45 mins, but I felt like it was worth it. The makeup products all looked great and are so much cheaper than at places at home. I grabbed mascara to try too. I thought this was a fun experience!

This was my best discovery in Italy, and after stopping here 5+ times during my short trip to…read moreItaly, I still feel like I didn't get enough!!! Their eyeliners and eye shadow are amazing - stays on, vivid colors, easy to glide on, and super-duper reasonably priced! Lip liners and lipstick are like the eye liners - easy glide, and very smooth and creamy. Roll-on blush - LOVE this. I buy Japanese brands that cost like 4-6x the price, and don't glide on as easily as these, not to mention the iridescent color is very natural and beautiful! Nail polish - amazing colors, under 2 Euros, need I say more? Eye makeup remover - super easy to use and very effective Lotions are nice too - SPF15 serum is light and not oily, daytime lotion is moisturizing and keeps skin nice and smooth in the dry winter wind. I HEART Kiko!!!!!

On my recent trip to Milan I stopped at Madina store on Corso Venezia. I was helped by a lovely…read morePaola, who was very pleasant and professional. She took her time and answered all of my questions regarding the products. I ended up making a large purchase for my work. I am very happy with the quality of the products I bought and the very kind and friendly service at Madina. I just wish they could ship the products outside Italy... Mille grazie Paola! Update: unfortunately this store was permanently closed in December 2017.

Tigota is a shop focusing on cleaning supplies, health and beauty products. Once you enter you are…read morefaced with a short staircase leading up maybe half a flight. The store is a 'one way' ending at the registers and the aisles are narrow so not necessarily a good shop for bringing the pram. You first encounter laundry products, then other household cleaning products plus trash bags, cleaning gloves, sponges and the like. Next up is personal hygiene products. Shampoo, soap, deodorant, powder, hair spray, cotton swabs and so on. They also have nylon stockings and a few other non-cleaning items like luffa and hair brushes. At the back of the store you will come across a metal barrier that opens one way. Once past this barrier you are in the cosmetics area where you will find eye shadow, mascara, foundation, etc. Registers are at the end of this area and back out the door where you entered. They don't really speak English here but most transactions don't require a huge conversation. Bring your own shopping bag or plan to buy one. They take credit and debit cards and of course cash (Euros). This location is down the road a bit from where we lived in Milan and where I purchased my cleaning supplies and cosmetics regularly. Prices and product selection are good.
