Winter Glow: Milani Baked Bronzer Review and Swatches

Hey guys! I'm here to share with you my two new favorite bronzers that I have kept my eye on for months! They are both very fantastic, inexpensive, and can compliment any skintone.

Milani Baked Bronzer in in 04 Glow and 05 Soleil

Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow - this is a light bronzer with has a mauvey-rosey brown undertone with golden shimmers. It reminds me of MAC Rose Ole highlight which recently came out a few weeks ago. Against my tan skin it looks like a light rosey tint but I can still contour with it if I build it up. It looks very flattering and natural! I love it!


Milani Baked Bronzer in Soleil - this is a golden brown color with golden shimmers and sheen. It shows up on my tan skin well as a contour yet looks very natural at the same time. It has the same affect as how NARS Laguna has on my skin (which is this natural contoured glow).This shade seems like it will be best suited for all skintones and I absolutely love using it!

Although these two look similar in pan, they come off looking very different once worn.


They also have a compartment underneath with a mirror and a brush (good for contouring)!



Swatches


I love them especially right now at the moment because I can:

1. Contour my face with them, especially the color Soleil, which comes off looking very natural and help my face look thinner since my face is round (contouring is a must for me!).

2. Even out my pale skin. Since it's winter right now, my skin still as a slight tan but still looks dull. Both colors help brighten up my face if I use them all-over.

3. Use it as a highlight. Especially the color Glow, since I have medium-medium/deep skin, it comes of very light, rosey, and flattering as a high cheekbone highlight.


I hope this was helpful! Thanks for reading! :)

Milani Nailpolish Jewel FX Swatches and More

Hey all. Happy New Year! I just wanted to share these beautiful Milani Nailpolishes that I absolutely love! Ever since I heard blogs talk about them in early December I was determined to find them. Unfortunately my local CVS did not even get this collection so I had to do a lot of hunting. I was only able to find 3 from Milani's new Rockstar Heavy Glitter polishes and one from their Haute Value collection. I knew my boyfriend's CVS has a large beauty section and I knew they would have them, so I called him up that day and made him hunt for the rest with his mom and finally have all of them!

From Left to Right: Milani Tailor Made, Gold Glitz, Gems, Gold

Milani Tailor Made - From the Haute Value collection. Its a sheer blue with purple sheen. I applied two coats. It doesn't streak but probably look more opaque under white nail polish. I still love the facts that its sheer because most my nail polishes are opaque.

Milani Gold Glitz - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a typical warm gold glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Gems - From the Jewel FX collection. It has rainbow chunks of glitter. I applied two coats. I had to pat it on but I absolutely love this one!

Milani Gold - From the Jewel FX collection. It has gold hexagon chunks of glitter. I applied two coats. I had to pat it on.

From Left to Right: Milani Silver Dazzle, Purple Gleam, Blue Flash, Red Sparkle

Milani Silver Dazzle - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a charcoal with sliver glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Purple Gleam - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a fuchsia/purple glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Blue Flash - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a turqoise blue glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Red Sparkle - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a red glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Here's a picture of all the polishes.

The reason I went a bit out my way to get these because I thought they were all limited edition. However I found out that all the black caps are not and will be in stores in the Spring! So, I'm glad that it still will be available!

I also bought 2 of their baked eyeshadows that I will review soon.

I hope this was helpful thanks for reading and thanks to all my 300 followers :D
