Miliani Makeup Collection And Review

12th June 2016

Hi love’s

So I want to show you my Milani makeup collection and do a little review and swatches, hope it’s helpful for anyone wanting to purchase any of these products.

If you haven’t heard of Milani Cosmetics it’s an American brand that sell affordable makeup, normally found in the drugstores. I make sure to stock up when I go America but I have recently just found out they are now in the UK yay, I’m literally so happy about this as I think Milani is great! The UK website is www.milanimakeup.co.uk and I have recently ordered from them so they are all legit, they are also on Instagram and twitter.

So these are the goodies I have picked up when I’ve gone to America, mixture of lipsticks, blush and eyeshadow.

And this is what I recently ordered from the UK website, the Metallic lip crème and Matte lip crème.

____________________________________________________________________

I’m going to start of with the blushes

  • Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso £7.49
  • Milani Baked Blush in Rose D’oro £7.49
  • Milani Rose powder blush in Romantic Rose £8.99

Luminoso (Left) Is a lovely peachy pink blush with finely milled shimmer, It’s a smooth texture and applies lovely to the cheeks, this is one of Milani’s popular products. This has been said to be a dupe for NARS Orgasm blush but in my opinion it’s not, this one is more peach and Orgasm is more Pink. But this is still a stunning blush I prefer to wear this in the summer as it’s a nice summer peachy shade. This would be so versatile on lots of skin tones.

Rose D’oro (Right) is another baked blush although it looks kind of the same as Luminosos this one has more gold shimmer in and is classed as a Rose pink shade which I have to disagree with, to me this is more of a coral peachy shade with gold shimmer no way is this pink on me any way. I’ve also seen people on youtube say this is a dupe for MACs warm soul and again I don’t think it is. One thing I can agree on is these blushes are very much like the MAC mineral blushes, and these come in a wide range of shades so I’m sure you could find a shade for you.

In this swatch the top is Rose D’oro and Bottom is Luminoso

Romantic rose I mean how stunning does this blush look? the rose design is beautiful with the gold packaging!! I got this in America when these were new out so I didn’t have much luck finding the shades I wanted but I did pick up this one which is a lovely Pink rose matte shade, I love a matte blush I wear them all year round, I normally stick to the rose/mauve type blushes. This isn’t hugely pigmented I tried really picking up some product here to swatch but against my pale wrist its hard to see. But I do really like this blush to give a subtle colour to the cheeks.

I Love the packaging of these lipsticks, I think all of the Milani Packaging is gorgeous especially for a drugstore brand, It reminds me a lot of Gerard cosmetics, I’m a sucker for gold as Soon as I saw these lipsticks I knew they would look so cute on my vanity.

My Favourite out the bunch is probably the matte shades Naked & beauty, I just prefer matte lipsticks overall but the other two are gorgeous as well ,they are more a satin type finish and feel really moisturising on the lips. I always stick to the nude, and brown type nudes they are just my go to shade, Naked Is your everyday light nude, Beauty is more brown toned, Pretty natural is more of a rose pink and lastly Rose femme is a warmer dusty rose shade, another one of my favourite shades I’m such a sucker for nudes and mauves!

Milani Bella eye Powder Shadow £4.99

  • Bella Chiffon
  • Bella Ivory

I wish I picked up more of these shadows as I really like them, I think when I make another order on the Milani site I will pick up a few more, but the shades I got are pretty basic, Chiffon I got as I had seen people say it was similar to MAC nylon and was a good shade to use for the inner eye highlight it is a yellow gold with shimmer, and I also got Ivory which is a more warmer white with a pearly sheen finish, these are really nice shadows and can be used wet or dry.

Milani Amore matte lip crème £7.99

  • Shade Adorable

Milani Metallic Matte lip crème £7.99

  • Shade Chromatic Addict

These are what I ordered recently, I had been wanting to try the Amore Matte lip crèmes for ages and finally gave in and ordered myself one I went with the shade adorable pictured above, It’s a pink nude beige id say more on the cool side on me which I prefer, The packaging is so sleek I really love it, the applicator looks like how Kylie cosmetics first lip kits looked like, it is flat and so flexible so it’s really easy to apply on the lips, the formula is thick and moussey again like how Kylie’s was originally so If you want an affordable dupe for those I would highly recommend trying some of these out they come in a wide range of shades to suit everyone. Now on to the wear and how they feel on the lips, these lasted a couple of hours before I felt like I need to touch up, it was starting to crumble and flake away slightly on the lips so I just re-applied I mean they didn’t last the longest but I really love this shade and formula, considering they did crumble a little bit they didn’t feel drying at all on the lips and actually don’t feel like a typical liquid lipstick,  I do wish they lasted a bit longer though but for the price I can’t really complain, I love the shade so much that I’m happy just touching up throughout the day when I need to.

Next I ordered on of the limited edition Metallic lip crèmes, I feel like everyone is selling these now and I really wanted to see what the fuss was about, plus I had heard from a few people that this shade was a dupe for kylies new metallic’s in the shade KING K, now I don’t own that so I cant really agree if it is or not but I do really like this shade. I’ve never worn this type of lipstick in my life and not sure If I can pull it off but I think these are going to be a big trend for summer this year so I’m going to use this as a topper to start off with and ease myself in. The shade I went for was chromatic addict, it’s the lightest shade out the bunch it’s very pigmented and dries down completely matte, this doesn’t feel drying at all on the lips which I was really surprised about, id describe this shade as a champagne beige gold, Its really unique in some lights it looks a little rose gold. Definitely happy with she shade I picked up.

Here is some swatches of the lip cremes, once I have taken some pictures of them on my lips I will add some pictures in this post 🙂

______________________________________________________________

So that’s my Milani collection, I love this brand and I have already got an Idea of what I want to order next 🙂 so many people on youtube I watch rave about these products and I have to agree, they are so affordable. And after my pleasant experience and quick delivery from ordering online I’m definitely ordering again.  Please note prices I have include are directly from the UK website here

Thanks for reading, let me know if you’re going to order anything or have tried Milani Cosmetics before??

    I absolutely adore Milani! Isn’t it great we can finally get them here?! I have loads of their blushers including Luminoso but I only have one from their Amore lip range, which is a red called Amore. I really want to try some of their single shadows. They look amazing! Great review. 🙂

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
