REVIEW - Milani Baked Bronzer # 04 Glow -

Thank goodness I am done with the Salma Hayek Nuance reviews and I can start on other reviews!


Tonight I am going to be talking about




The Milani Baked Bronzer in # 04


Its normally around $ 8.00 but I got it on sale and you can see that post HERE but I picked this one up for $4.00 - Which is a great deal!




Product Details


A multi-purpose, streak-free bronzer for eyes, face & body. Gives you an instant radiant glow! Mirror & brush included. Made in Italy.




Ingredients


Talc, Mica (CI 77019), Dimethicone, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Polysorbate 20, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Sorbitan Stearate, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Chromium Hydroxide Green (CI 77289), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Red 6 (CI 15850), Red 7 (CI 15850).




Directions for use


Use dry for a sheer luminous finish. Wet for a more intense look.






This line has 3 different shades.


Glow


Golden


Soleil


The one I got was the glow because it was the lightest of all shades. Being its winter time and I am not very tanned, I figured this one would be the best for my skin tone.


As you can see from the 2 pictures above it has rather chunky packaging that I don't really care for.


It does have a




mirror and brush on the opposite side too.






The brush is ok.. but nothing really special..




as you can see its thin.. I save these up for my daughter.




As you can see there is some gold swirled into the bronzey peach color..


Here are the swatches.






Its kinda a peachy gold color that looks really pretty on.




From what I can see, these are very similar to the Mac Mineralized Skinfinish. I don't know if its a total dupe for that line because I have only played around with a few.. I don't own any. But I think its a close call!


My final thoughts..


One of the things I like about this product is that it's not too shimmery. I was a little concerned about that at first but it seems to give more satin finish with just a touch of shimmer. I tend to prefer my brozers matt but this one I like too!




As you can see it does give a pretty glow. As you can tell, I need a little blush on the apples of my cheeks to brighten it up a little bit but I like this bronzer!


Have you guys tried any of these Milani Baked Bronzers?


Let me know what you think of them!

HUGE Walgreens Haul + A Few things from Walmart!!!!

As many of you guys know, I went out today...and was nervous about being among the black Friday shoppers. I was lucky that I didn't have any issues with it. I went out to all the drug stores to see what I could find. I figured all the drug store beauty items would be disorganized and nothing left. Well CVS sucked and so did Rite Aid. They barley had any beauty products a lower price than what they normally are. 


Well Walgreens was the WINNER today!! 


I was so happy to go in there and see all the sales! 


I got a ton of stuff.. I will be doing swatches and reviews in the weeks to come but tonight I wanted to show you what I got. I only paid full price for 3 things.. the rest was on sale. I got my receipt and I will try to keep straight what everything cost but I will try! 




So here is the haul in full!!




22 items total


I had to take the pictures on my dining room table because it was so big and 




look at how was up in the chair at the table watching.. Isn't Gizmo cute!


So one of the items I paid full price for was 




Eco Tools Limited Edition Beautiful Expressions Kabuki Set. 


( I will do a full post on these tomorrow ) 


I also saw this adorable 




Cat Ring Holder. I know this is really not a beauty item per say but it does kinda fit with beauty! 


I love it.. In fact, I think I am going back to get another. One for beside my bed and one for in the kitchen when I am cooking! 


The next thing I paid full price for is these




make up removers. I will do a full post and review on these tomorrow or Sunday.. I tried these the first time when my Free Target Beauty Bag came in [ see post HERE ] I am loving these right now and can't wait to tell you why! 


The last item I paid full price for was this 




Elf Holiday Edition in Natural Eye. 


And just so you guys know I will tell the prices of the 3 above items when I review them. 


But here is what I found on sale!!


First with the eyeshadows..




Ok.. With the Revlon Color Stay quad was $ 3.59 and the other 2 shadows were $ 1.10 each!!


HOW GREAT IS THAT!!


On to blush and bronzers.. 




The Malini Baked Bronzer was $ 4.00 and the Revlon Blush was $ 1.50. 


They also had this 




Cover Girl Professional Mascara for $ 2.99


Now lip items.. 




Ok.. I had fun with the lip products!!


The 2 Relvons on the left were 4.59 each , The Rimmels that are in the middle were $ 2.69 each and the Revlon on the end was $ 3.99. The Gloss was 3.49. 


Then the nail products were calling my name!!






The deal on these polishes and strips was amazing! 






The Sally Hansen polishes in the middle was $ 2.59 each




The Essie polish was $ 4.00






The Rimmel Polish was 2.99 and the last polish on the right is Sally Hansen Salon polish that cost $ 2.99.








The Salon Effects was $ 3.99


Last but not least I am going to go ahead and include what I picked up at Walmart.. 




Some more Conditioner, moisturizer, floss and of course, Oprah's new magazine!!


WALGREENS KICKED ASS TODAY!! 


Now, I should explain to you guys, that this is a marker sale.. What I mean is all these items had those little dots on the displays of which items were on sale. So not all products from the line were these prices!! You will have to just go in to YOUR Walgreens and see what you find!!


Clearly, I found a lot and I wasn't in there till after 4 pm. 


So, get there and check it out!!


I will do swatches and reviews over the weekend!!


HAPPY HAPPY!!

NARS VS MILANI

I get questions regularly via facebook and email about beauty items. Tonight I got another question about what cheaper blushes are comparable to the NARS Orgasm. I thought I done a post about this a long time ago but I searched and searched and didn't find it.


So I am going to post this wayyyyyyyy over due post on my thoughts re this blush and hopefully this will clear things up for some of you guys!


First off over the summer, while Brittany and Jackson were here my NARS Orgasm ended up liked




This.. Yea.. Wasn't too happy with Brittany. Little Jackson had no part in this!!


Since the kids were here, we were spending tons and tons of $ on them and I just didn't want to spend $ 30.00 for a blush. Its actually around $ 27.00 but when you add tax, its basically $30.00


Since mine is broke I am borrowing this next picture from the NARS website.
Orgasm Orgasm Blush


As you can see, the nars is a pinky-peach blush with accents of golden shimmer. This blush is basically flattering on EVERYONE. Its really one of the best blushes I have ever used.


So I got on the hunt for a dupe that was a fraction of the price. I researched it online where there were TONS of dupes for this blush so really it was about looking in the drugstores and seeing which one matched up best to me.


And here is the one I choose.




This is the Milani Minerals Blush in # 201 Luminous




This is VERY CLOSE to the NARS. I mean I could hardly tell any difference. I had my old one in the drugstore and did my best to match them up. I actually thought I might get into trouble because I was opening up all kinds of blushes to see what I thought of each one.






And this was the winner.


I cropped pictures from the NARS picture that is above and from my picture of the Milani blush and
put them side by side for you to see.




Yes the textures are slightly different but look at the colors.


Here are my swatches from both.




Can you tell which one is which?


I will give you a second.. REALLY LOOK..


Milani is the one on the RIGHT and NARS is the one on the LEFT.


The only ** LITTLE ** difference I can see is the NARS is slightly more peachy but I cant hardly tell.


Now do not confuse the Milani Minerals with the Milani Baked blushes. I think the baked Milani Blush in Luminoso. I think the Luminoso. I am a little too fair for that one, and I think it gives me a little too orangy look. However, the Mineral Milani Blush in Luminous matches up to my skin perfectly. I love it. I have a ton of others I use too but this one has to be one of my all time favorites!


So this in my opinion is the very closest you can get .


Also the Milani Minerals Blushes cost a fraction of the price. I believe I found mine at CVS for right at $ 7.00. Is that not a steal!!??


So sorry I never got this up sooner. I really thought I did! I know there are millions of reviews and comparisons for these two blushes but I appreciate and thank you for asking me!


If you have any more questions or comments email me. Also if you know of any better dupes feel free share them!


Ohhh and one more thing. What I do with the broken NARS blush is add a little to some lip balm and put it on my lips.. It looks amazing and I am still getting use out of that broken blush!


Thanks for reading!!

If you are the answer
Why did I wait so long
To ask you the question
Kept myself hanging on
Wondering whether you were the one for me
To love me forever, living a fantasy
I can’t forget, the way that I feel
I’ve no regrets, cuz this is real

Take me to the stars
I wanna be yours
Take me to the stars

Now that I found you
I won’t ever let me go
I can’t live without you
It’s something you need to know
So don’t forget, the way I feel
Cuz you can bet, but I’m not real

Take me to the stars
I wanna be yours
Take me to the stars
Forever yours
….
If you are …
Take me to the stars
