Milani Peach Of Me Baked Powder Blush is one of two “new” blush shades that launched for Spring 2021 in a new Fruit Fetish-like Collection that’s available at Walgreens. I’m not sure when Milani will officially launch this collection as they have been super quiet about it but the entire collection, which is quite large, is available on Walgreens website for the past two weeks or so. I’m not sure if it is a Walgreens exclusive or if it’ll launch at other stores. I don’t even have a collection name yet as Milani has been really quiet about this launch!

Oh well! I’ve been slowly reviewing some of the peachy items in this launching including the new Milani Peach Tinted Undereye Brightener and Peach Make It Last Setting Spray. There are other fruits represented in the collection like blueberries and cherries which I’ll talk about in some other posts soon!

For now let’s look at the Milani Peach of Me Baked Powder Blush which you don’t need because it’s just Corallina which I bet you already own!

Yup, I Did Order $100 Worth of Eye Makeup Remover Because I’m Cheap

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Beauty confession! I hate buying inexpensive eye makeup remover! Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Gentle Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover is amazing and it’s totally worth the price but I CRINGE at the idea of buying it. I have to replace eye makeup remover so often it feels so wasteful spending more than $6 to $8 on a bottle. Spending $30+? NO THANKS!

However, I’m so happy Ulta is having a sale on the massive bottles today. I got five of the 6.7 oz bottles! At $20 each they are a steal (normally $40 each) or the smaller 4.2 oz are $15! I’m thrilled Ulta didn’t put a cap on these because last year they that had a limit of two I believe!

The larger 6.7 oz bottles will last me a while!

Get yours now before they sell out. Platinum and Diamond orders ship free!

Enjoy!

Milani Peach Tinted Undereye Brightener Review & Swatches

1 stars out of 5

Milani Peach Tinted Undereye Brightener ($8.99) is a new 2-in-1 peach tinted color correcting undereye brightener that contains Peach Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine. Milani actually has two different eye correcting tints floating around that launched for Spring 2021! This is one of them and belongs to a new Milani Skin Fresh or Fruit Fetish-like Collection that seems to be exclusive to Walgreens and the other is from the Supercharged Collection available at mass retailers like Ulta. The other version of this is called Milani Supercharged Brightening Undereye Tint and it’s available in three shades where as the Peach Tinted Undereye Brightener is only available in one. I haven’t tried the Supercharged formula as of yet but I did compare the ingredients and it looks like they do contain a lot of the same stuff.

Here’s a break down (I tried to bold all some of the ingredients that they share in common).

Milani Peach Tinted Undereye Brightener Ingredients
Water / Aqua / Eau, Dimethicone, C13-14 Alkane, Phenyl Trimethicone, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Mica, Phenoxyethanol, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Silica, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol, Magnesium Sulfate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Stearoyl Inulin, Disodium EDTA, Caffeine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Collagen, Ethyl Hexanediol, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)

Milani Supercharged Brightening Undereye Tint Ingredients
Water / Aqua / Eau, Dimethicone, C13-14 Alkane, Phenyl Trimethicone, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Mica, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol, Magnesium Sulfate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Silica, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Stearoyl Inulin, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Disodium EDTA, Caffeine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Collagen, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Extract, Ethyl Hexanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

There’s some differences obviously but they do both contain Caffeine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide and of course, the standard silicones. The most disappointing aspects is although they contain some great stuff like Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate it’s really a small amount. I think the “2-in-1” formula referred to the fact it corrects and also acts as an eye cream of such that will brighten eyes, hydrate, and treat dark circles but you probably won’t see skincare benefits from something that has a small amount of the products meant to address such issues. And that’s ok because I never really expected it to do all that however, I always get a little irritated when the marketing does promise so much!
