Review: Milani Illuminating Face Powder

Milani Illuminating Powder

Milani Illuminating Powder is an ultra smooth, multi-color blush, bronzer, and highlight, that gives skin a hint of color. It can be used as a highlighter for a brighter complexion with a lit-from-within radiant glow. You can also use it as a bronzer or blush for an instant healthy sunkissed finish. The illuminating powder comes in three shades; Amber Nectar- a natural coral, Hermose Rose- a natural tan, and Beauty's Touch Pink. All three have a pearl finish, that gives your skin some sheen.

I have loved this illuminating powder since the first time I tried it. It gives me a nice hint of color with out being too dark or too shimmery. I feel like this is a product that would be suitable for me in the winter as well as in the summer, since I tend to be a little on the pale/fair side.

I really love the cute flower design on the product and I think the packaging is very nice also, seems very sturdy. The only thing that I have found that I don't like is after I used this product for a little while little 'bumps' developed on the product and I felt like I was not picking up as much product on my brush, so I rubbed my finger over the little 'bumps' and they sort of went away and I was able to pick a better amount of the product up on my brush. I'm not sure why it does that, the packaging does say for best results use a kabuki style brush, which I never noticed till I begin gathering my information for my review. I've just been using ELF's complexion brush, so maybe I'll try it with a Kabuki brush and see if that helps.

The little 'bumps'

I can't really compare this product to anything else other than ELF's golden bronzer. I feel like it gives the same effect as ELF's bronzer but with far less shimmer, which for me is a huge plus. It is kind of pricey at $8.99, but I think I would repurchase this product. You can purchase this at your local CVS.

Below are a couple of pictures where I have use the illuminating powder.

Empties 2013 #2

I usually don't do Empties post every month, but for a change I had empties two months in a row! Yay me LOL :)

This month I only used up four products, but I still think that is pretty good.

First up is my Olay Complete face moisturizer. For the most part I really liked this moisturizer, really have no complaints about it, but probably not something I would repurchase. I'll probably stick with my Cetaphil.

I also used up my Not Your Mother's Way to Grow long and strong shampoo. I LOVE this shampoo I have a full review of it if you would like to read my thoughts about it. I would repurchase this.

I used up my Aussie Catch the Wave mousse with leave in conditioner. I like this product, but I have found another mousse that I like better, so I most likely will not repurchase this product.

Lastly I used up my Suave Touchable finish Extra Hold hairspray. This is my all time favorite hairspray and will be a product that I purchase time and time again.

What products did you use up this month?

ABC Nail Challenge: Letter I

We are up to letter I in the ABC Nail Challenge! This week I used a polish that I've had in my collection that I've not used yet. It's a Wet n Wild Megalast Polish called I Red A Good Book. I usually don't wear a lot of red polish, I don't know why though, cause I really like this way it looks.

This week I just did a simple polka dot design, which came out much more un-organized than I seen it in my head, but I still like it. It makes me think of Minnie Mouse for some reason :/

Be sure to stop by and see what the other ladies did for Letter I
