Milani Baked Blushes Review and Swatches

Hey guys!

Today I would like to share with you two of my most reached for blushes from my make up collection and these are my Milani Baked Blushes! The shades that I have are the gorgeous Rose D'Oro and Luminoso.

Company Description: A luxurious powder blush that features a mélange infusion of colors baked on Italian terracotta tiles. Easy to use, sensorial in texture, the nuances of color become extraordinarily luminous. Silky smooth application leaves your face looking healthy and radiant all day.


Packaging: These domed blushes come in a round mirrored compact where the top can be flipped to reveal a brush that is included. I'm not really a fan of the gold compact though, it makes it look cheap and its a little bulky




The brush

Rose D'Oro is a terracotta with a lot of golden shimmer that provides a good colour payoff.


Here is a blended and heavy swatch


Luminoso is a soft peach with not a lot of shimmer that leaves a luminous glowy finish.

Both blushes are great wearing, each staying on for about 8 hours without needing re-application.

I have only found Milani products here in Canada in Walmart stores and comparing the prices here and the prices online like Cherry Culture, they are considerably higher. I bought each blush for $9.99 CAD from Walmart yet they are about $6.99 USD from Cherry Culture.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Benefit Go Tropi - Coral Lip and Cheek Kit


Hey guys!

Today I'm going to share with you one of the latest kits that Benefit launched recently and that is the "Go Tropi Coral Lip and Cheek Kit." I think Benefit always come up with amazing sets that have the cutest packaging! I love how their sets have at least 3 different products where you can try if you would like them in order to decide if you want to buy the full size. 


Company Description: "Turn up the heat, day or night, with our sexy tropicorals." This pocket-sized kit features warm and vibrant shades for a sultry, tropical look. It includes an iconic tint, award-winning cheek color, luscious lip gloss, and sexy highlighter–all in a mirrored box–so you can add a pop of color to your look morning, noon, or night.






This kit includes:
- 0.13 oz Chachatint
                                                                               - 0.1 oz Coralista
- 0.13 oz High Beam
- 0.22 oz Ultra Plush Coralista
- Mini powder brush


Cha Cha Tint is a mango - tinted lip and cheek stain. The colour is kinda scary when you just look at it from the bottle but when you blend it out in your cheeks it a lovely peachy coral shade. When I use this, I put 3 small dots on my cheeks and blend it with a finger. 






High Beam  is a luminescent liquid highlighter that has a pink sheen. I like using this highlight not just on my cheeks, but on my brow bones as well. Just like the Cha Cha Tint, I apply this by putting 3 small dots and blend it out.




Coralista Blush - basing from its name is a gorgeous coral with some slight shimmer. I have been wanting this blush for quite a while but I was really hesitant to pay $36.00 CAD for the full size! So I was really glad when Benefit came out with this kit so I can try this blush out for myself. Too bad this product can't be pulled out of the packaging like the rest of the products.




Coralista Ultra Plush Lipgloss is a coral sheen gloss which is not sticky at all. This is a fairly new product that Benefit came up with to complement their famous boxed powders. I also think this will be a good combo for my MAC Vegas Volt lipstick



This set also includes a blush brush.

Overall: This kit is a great buy to try out some of Benefit's products with decent sized deluxe samples

Price: $32.00 CAD

Place to buy: this is a Sephora exclusive
