Milani Luminoso Glow Shimmering Face Palette is a new highlighter, blush, and bronzer palette that includes eight shades which you can mix and match to create a luminous glow on cheeks and face which launched with the Milani Spring 2019 Collection.

As you already know I’m not much of a highlighter girl but I was pretty much convinced I could use this palette as a blush one since the shades looked so pigmented in promotional images. I was a bit disappointed at the $17.99 price tag though. Milani’s prices are pretty high lately with some of their palettes like the Soft & Sultry Eyeshadow Palette and Gilded Desires Eye & Face Palette prices at $20 each. The quality is here and well worth the price but I’m always a little conservative at spending that much on drugstore makeup. Somehow, my mind can’t wrap around paying $15 plus dollars for anything at the drugstore.

None the less, purchasing the Milani Luminoso Glow Shimmering Face Palette was a no brainer as the quality has been consistent with the brand for year’s now and their newest offerings have all proven excellent additions to my collection.

L’Oreal Unlimited Length & Lift Mascara Review & Swatches

4 stars out of 5

L’Oreal Unlimited Mascara is a new lash lifting and lengthening formula with a bendable wand that’s inspired by a makeup artist’s technique of bending a mascara wand for more control and lifting up lashes at the root. This mascara is available in both a regular and waterproof version.

I feel like gimmicky mascaras haven’t had a lot of spotlight lately. Remember how many were out and about a few years ago? Almay One Coat Dial Up Mascara, Rimmel 1-2-3 Looks Mascara, Avon Mega Effects Mascara, and on and on…! There were so many a few years ago. Each one with some interesting wand that allowed you to customize how you applied your mascara but in reality just created a big old mess.

I admit I was both excited about the new L’Oreal Unlimited Length & Lift Mascara and a little skeptical since I’ve tried plenty of mascara, all promising me a ton of different perks courtesy their “special” applicator but most failing to actually create results that made me ohhhh and ahhh.

Considering L’Oreal is Lancome’s parent brand most people will be wondering if Unlimited Length & Lift is similiar to Mascara Grandiose Wide-Angle Fan Effect Mascara. In my humble opinion, L’Oreal did a better job with Unlimited!

Let’s check out my review below!

L’Oreal Rouge Lightweight Matte Colored Ink Review & Swatches

Is it L’Oreal Rouge Lightweight Matte Colored Ink or Liquid Lipstick or Lip Color or Lip Stain? I’ve seen this new lipstick called so many different things I’m terribly confused what exactly is the right name! I feel the need to stick to lip stain or ink as that seems the best way to describe this formula.

L’Oreal launched Rouge Signature Lasting Matte Liquid Lip Ink in 12 shades and I have to admit to I only purchased one as I am really not a fan of Maybelline’s SuperStay Matte Ink Lip Color. I was expecting L’Oreal to come out with a formula that’s fairly similiar to Maybelline’s which is why I decided to just test the waters with L’Oreal’s version first and decide later if I needed more shades.

I know many of you like the Maybelline version but I thought it was dry and felt oddly sticky at the same time. If you’re anything like me and hated those you’ll be very relieved to know L’Oreal perfected the formula beautifully and Rouge Signature Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick is super easy to wear and quite lovely!

Becca x Khloe Kardashian & Malika Haqq Ultimate Lipstick Love ($24) are a new collection of buttery lipsticks that BFFs Khloe and Malika created in collaboration with Becca for Spring 2019. I was going to purchase all the shades in this collection but I ended up picking one until I could see them in person as I was a little iffy on the nudes and the reds from the swatches I saw online. I’m ever so delighted with the formula and the shade I choose which is making me eager to pick up the others!

Here’s my thoughts and review on the Becca x Khloe Kardashian & Malika Haqq Ultimate Lipstick Love formula!

I Hope Lush Perfume Oils Are Here to Stay

I picked up a few of the new Lush Perfume Oils that launched earlier last month for the Christmas season. One of which was Yog Nog that quite reminds of of Jo Malone’s Ginger Biscuit but I think it’s a much better scent in comparison.

Right now Lush offers these perfume oils in a few scents such as Grass, American Cream, Butterball, and others. Don’t quote me but I think Breath of God has always been in an oil formula but I just never really gave it a glance because it’s not my favorite Lush scent. Or maybe I’m wrong. None the less, this is my first time trying Lush Perfume Oils and I’m ever so glad I indulged.
