Haven't purchased any makeup for awhile now, so in the last few days I have been doing some shopping and boy have I pick up a lot of makeup goodies!! All of my MILANI products I got at my local Walgreens and the best part they were all on sale. FYI you can get most this stuff off of cherryculture.com for incredible prices, ((except for the ELF, and RIMMEL items)) I just sometimes don't like to wait for the shipping. I have been on this peachy coral and purple violet kick and you will see that through out.
((I DID NOT ADD PRICES, DUE TO FACT MOST OF THIS STUFF WAS ON SALE AND DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT WILL LAST,, AND PRICES CHANGE FROM PLACE TO PLACE))
MILANI has been coming out with a lot of new products and the ones I am really enjoying are the blushes, they are super pigmented, feel great on the skin and blend nice and easy. I say proudly I have officially collected all there blushes. Their previous blushes have a hint of sparkle/glitter to them, but they have 2 new baked blushes that are completely matte. They are so super pigmented that just dabbing your blush brush into the product is all you need, for both cheeks. DELIZIOSO PINK is this very beautiful bright baby doll pink, and BELLA ROSA is a dark almost red pink, both would go great with any skin tone.

BERRY AMORE BAKED POWDER BLUSH
EVEN TOUCH POWDER FOUNDATION IN 09 NATURAL TAN
Another great new product they have released is the powder blushes, these got my attention because of the beautiful rose detail on them.
LADY ROUGE 06 is the color I picked up I am thinking about going back to pick up a few more of these, MILANI did not disappoint on this product just like their baked blushes the pigmentation on these babies is awesome. Have to admit I don't want to use it, cause it's just so darn cute.

Thanks to emilynoel83 on youtube, or beautybroadcast on blogger, she mentioned this on her emilyawards and the best drugstore eyeshadow primer. I must say this is a great buy, usually I use my urban decay primer potion or MAC painterly paint pot and both can get pricey. So it's nice to have a drugstore primer that works and wont run your wallet. Eye shadows just stick to the primer so nicely, eye shadows are more vibrant, if you have dark pigmented lids this almost brings that down since it does have a slight tint to it, and they shadows don't crease through out the day. I wear my makeup for almost 12/16 hours a day for work, and have really oily lids and don't see creasing after a long day. I have tried it with different brand eye shadows, from drug store to high end, and no creasing on either.
Lips, I am a big lipstick junkie along with blushes so I was very excited to try the MILANI lipsticks. Can't say for sure if this is new to there makeup line, but they are new to me. Love that they such and array of colors and finishes. Again really pigmented lipsticks you can just apply a bit for a hint of color and top it off with some lip gloss or really apply it to the lips for a bold look. They glide on to your lips even the matte colors, this is nice because even the most high end matte lipsticks can tug on your lips.

003 STAY MATTE PRIMER
300 SAND STAY MATTE FOUNDATION
Like I said a little bit ago, I have combination skin normal to oily, REALLY oily especially in my T-Zone, so finding a foundation to work for me can be hard. I have tried so many and one that does work is RIMMEL MATCH PERFECTION, so when I saw the display for this one I had to try it since it does say STAY MATTE. Also picked up the primer for it hopefully the combination of the to keeps my T-Zone under control. It's almost like a whipped foundation but in a tube, need to be careful around your nose area if apply to much it can look cakey.
Lip glosses is something that I am not a "big" fan of but do like. MILANI has the LIP INTENSE LIQUID COLOR ((oval flat tube)) they are out of this world the color is true to the tube, unlike other that look so intense in the packaging and when you go to apply them they are so sheer. The BRILLIANT SHINE LIP GLOSS ((square tube)) really nice shine maybe not so pigmented but still really good color pay off.

02 PINK RAVE LIP INTENSE LIQUID COLOR
10 CORAL CRUSH BRILLIANT SHINE LIP GLOSS
05 BERRY TEMPTING BRILLIANT SHINE LIP GLOSS
Keeping on with the lip love, I picked up 2 of the ELF LIP BALM TINT. ELF is that one brand that no mater how inexpensive there products are 9 times out 10 they give so much bang for your buck. Unlike some the high end cosmetics!!
22133 GRAPEFRUIT LIP BALM TINT
22134 BERRY LIP BALM TINT
Last but not least finally got my hands on some NYX cosmetics, and I ask myself why didn't I try these products before. I only got a few eye shadows, but I am definitely going to look more into this line and get some more stuff from them.

ES160 AFRICA
