Well, it's fair to say I have a little crush on Milani Cosmetics, which up until recently have been the territory of American and Australian bloggers. But after spotting these gorgeously packaged, low cost goodies in all their clear acrylic, tactile cases and compacts, it became my mission to seek these out, at decent prices and without paying a fortune on international shipping.
It turns out, its very easy to get hold of them! There are a few little shops that sell some of the range, such as Comedic.co.uk, but I didn't know that Milani EU cosmetics ship to the UK for low costs and pretty quick delivery (some of their comms and receipts are in what I think is Czech - not 100% on that, me and geography/languages go together like Coke and Mintoes!). But it doesn't stop being able to choose and purchase online.
I'm not going to actually review them at the moment, I just wanted to show some of the range with some swatches so you can see what's available. The face powders, I've actually chosen 3 colours because I like to use my face colour, but use a lighter powder to give a subtle highlight, and because bronzers or contour powders don't give much coverage, I like to use a darker powder to contour or as a Bronzer, or to mix them up to get the perfect colour for someone else's skin tone. In the swatches the face powders (which provide a matte coverage and are apparently very good for oilier skin, without caking....watch this space...) seem slightly oddly coloured in that the middle medium seems lighter than the actual lightest one. But it's just that they are both 2 different skin tones, one warm and rosy, and one with yellow undertones. The lip pencils are opaque and creamy and glide on like butter, no dragging skin with these bad boys! And the glosses all smell like watermelon! The blushers are a visual treat and the illuminating powder has a hint of blush in it. The 2 baked blushers look a bit like they are going to be of the cheaper variety which can be prone to feeling a bit scratchy, but these just feel like powder, soft creamy powder.
Right, the swatches are below, I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks playing around with these and let you know the must-haves, the lust-haves and the don't-bothers (if there are any! So far, so good!).
Hope you've all had a great Monday, just think, one day closer to the weekend! 😁
