Milani Baked Blush in Rose D'oro & Luminoso Review

Hey my beauties how are you all doing today :) 

Well today I have come to the very last Item in my swap with the Lovely Shirley.  I left the best for last :) I loved every last item I got from Shirley as they were all on my wishlist but these little beauties were the most I was looking forward to getting as they were longer on my wishlist.  I have seen so many popular beauty gurus either using these in their videos or boasting about them for so long and it became a must have for me especially these two shades as they are the most popular Emilynoel83 was the woman who put the want on me first every favourites video or every budget friend video she makes she talks bout these :) 

So on with my thoughts on these blushes 

"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." By Milani

There is 9 shades altogether to choose from which are 

01-Dolce Pink

02-Rose D'oro

03-Berry Amore

04-Terra Sole

05-Luminoso

06-Bellissimo Bronze

07-Fantastico Mauve

08-Corallina

09-Red Vino

For 3.5g of product they cost $8 each.  On Cherry Culture they are retailing at $6.99 at the moment.  The packaging was very surprising to me to be honest for an affordable blush this is very very sturdy.  I love the gold rim on the lid as it makes it look more expensive than you paid even though its plastic, there is a downfall on that too the gold can easily be scratched with tends to be more noticeable.  Inside the packaging you will get your lovely blush.  The blush lifts like another lid and under that you will get your mirror and blush brush which i dont really use but can be used on travel.   Now before I go any further I would just like to add that anyone who is not a fan of shimmer blushes will not be too keen on these but some are less shimmery than others.

Lets go onto the shades shall we :) 

Rose D'oro:   This is the most beautiful peachy coral shade with golden shimmer.  This caught my eye the first time i ever heard of these blushes and it was my goal to get it.  I am glad i did as it looks absolutely stunning on my skintone.  This gives a beautiful natural look to the cheeks.  The shimmers on this blush is a little more chunky that the next blush but if you didnt want that you can easily tap off a majority of the shimmer before applying.  

Next shade is another stunning shade :) 

Luminoso:  I love the name its very emmmmm spanish or something lol 

This is a lovely lighter peachy orange shade with golden micro-shimmers.  This is a fantastic blush for fair to medium skin tones and a perfect highlight for a woman of colour.  As you can see yourself even by looking at the blush in the pan the shimmers is very very fine and appear fine on the cheeks all you see is a stunning glow which is amazing.  This is a perfect blush for the summertime I love it :) 

I can definitely see what all the hype is about when it comes to Milani Baked Blushes.  I also have a soft spot for baked products so im glad I ended up not been disappointed :)  These blushes are actually compared with Mac's Mineralised blushes not that i can confirm that as i dont own any but they do look just as amazing and seem to be just as pigmented.  I love how soft they feel on my skin they feel so creamy to swatch too.  I am so so surprised with how pigmented they are literally one swipe with the brush and you have enough to do your whole cheek :)  They last all day on me without having to touch up but if you suffer with oily skin i think maybe having this in your bag might not be a bad idea.   They are so so easy to apply you literally apply and run i love that :) 

If i was to find any fault with these I would say maybe the blush could do without the brush and maybe not be as bulky but that's not a huge deal for me.  I really want to try more shades in this baked blush.  They are amazing and anyone who doesn't mind a little shimmer should really try them out :)  But let me just state that the shimmer pays off more of a glow that a disco ball look.  These are perfect to wear on a night out as the camera picks up on the shimmer and your skin looks dewy.  If you are a mature lady who suffers with large pores this blush will highlight your pores more.  In all I am very pleased with these blushes.  They are certainly a hit in my eyes and I will surely be shopping for more.  

Have you tried these Baked Blushes Yet?

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is my little collection 

The First time i heard of this company was from the famous Emily Noel 83 aka The Beauty Broadcaster  .  She loves the Palladio range especially the Herbal Lip Balms.  Please have a look at my video review on these and then My pictures and swatches below:

The Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm

• Long-lasting color

Palladio Tinted Lip Balm is enriched with UV filters to protect the lips, this unique lip balm formula moisturizes while adding sheer, long-lasting color. Wear these lip balms by themselves, or under your favorite Palladio Herbal Lipstick as a hydrating base!

"Bronzy Pink, Golden Pink, Cotton Candy & Rosey

As i Stated above i went with Emily's word and ordered the shades she had as i liked the look of them in her swatches.  I was supper excited to try them out and i searched high and low to try and get them.  I finally found them and got them.   They were available on the Makeup Geek Site for $3.89/€3/£2.50 each they also ship internationally.  When i got them in the post i was so excited to try them and fell in love straight away.  Now i bet your think "What she so excited about lip balm for and why these ones in particular" well believe me i have never come across lip balms like these i tell you :) :) 

Bronzy Pink

This is a Fantastic shade.....It gives a beautiful bronzed shade on the lips and has a slight golden shimmer to it.  This is such a pretty summery shade and when the sun hits it you lips look amazing.  

This picture was taken with flash 

Golden Pink 

This is another beautiful shade........This is definitely true to its name is a beautiful pink with golden shimmer the shimmer compliments the shade and your lips i love it.  It sort of gives a frosty finish.  

 Cotton Candy 

This is a lovely natural baby pink shade again with a tad of shimmer.....not as much shimmer as the other two but does give the MLBB look.  Its pretty sheer but still noticeable on the lips 

Rosey 

This shade is perfect for anyone who is a little intimidated by a red lip......I know alot of people who would love to wear a red lip but just not sure about it......This gorgeous shade gives you the red look but not a strong one this would suit any skin tone i love it.  I have found this has a slight goldy undertone to it i looks fantastic i love it.  

My overall opinion 

As im sure you have guess i am super impressed with these tinted lip balms.  They are incredibly moisturising and even after they start wearing off they still tend to leave a slight colour especially the "rosey" one.  I love that they dont leave any gross lines behind and the fact they are soft and easy to apply is an extra.  What i love more is the ingredient they have in them for example  coconut oil glicerides, shea butter and herbal extracts which are all good.  They are perfect for the winter and summer months too as the have UV filters in them.  So i definitely give these a 5/5 love them.

Palladio Lip Liner Pencil

Palladio 3 lip liners in shades Vermouth, Pink ice and Pink Frost

Palladio says:  With a firm, yet smooth tip, our slim liners make defining the lips effortless. Contour with ease to prevent bleeding, or use as a base before applying your favorite Palladio lip color to extend wear.

 Prevents lipstick from bleeding

Long lasting formula

Glides on smoothly

Palladio Lip Liner Pencil features a soft textured formula, glides on smoothly to define your natural lip line. The long lasting formula helps to prevents lipstick from bleeding.:)

Vermouth, Pink ice and Pink Frost

It is actually stated that these are compared the Mac Lip liners and are even better.  I dont know as i have never tried a Mac Lip liner.  Thats saying alot about these though.  My experience with these Lip liners are good but i did find that if they are in a cool room they are hard to apply to the lips....i usually warm them up first and that works out for me.  They are super long lasting especially if you use these as a base or even as a lippie for the day with a little gloss over them they look incredible.  Pink Ice and Pink Frost are a perfect shade for a bridal look or MLBB look.     Pink Frost is a nice cool pink but not too frosty.  Pink Ice is a beautiful pink with silver shimmer to it really really pretty.  Vermouth is a great shade for Autumn but also good for anytime of the year.  Its a beautiful wine shade with a brownish undertone to it.  

I got these off the makeup geek store for only $.99 each not bad i tell you :) :) 

Palladio Clear Brow Gel

Clear brow gel can be used to set eye brows or to naturally enhance the eye lashes. Perfect for keeping those stray hairs in place!  and i have to say it works perfectly.  The seperate brush on the bottom side is so handy and the brush with the gel is brilliant.  I used this on my eyelashes some days when i dont want to wear mascara and it makes my eyelashes look great.  This most me $5.89 well worth it.  

So thats it for today everyone i hope you enjoyed my review 

hope you are all well 

until next time 

take care
