Milani Conceal + Perfect // Foundation Review

Milani Conceal + Perfect // Foundation Review


 I bought this foundation probably about 6 months ago at Target. A couple days later I went to try it out only to find it was way too dark for my skin. I had bought the shade 00 I believe and it was (at the time) the lightest in the color range. I was super bummed because I had heard that this was an amazing drugstore foundation! Fast forward 3-4 months and they launched new shades! I ordered the palest shade this time being 00A Porcelain and I'm happy to say it matches my skin! I haven't noticed any oxidizing with this foundation either. I have tried this out with several foundation brushes (you may have seen in my recent GRWM), but it just doesn't work out for me. The best coverage and finish I have gotten with this has been with a beauty sponge. I have been using a sponge from the Morphe brand and I'm loving it with this foundation! With one application (about 1 1/2 pumps) I get a good medium coverage, but with a full 2 pumps and the second application around my face it is a high-medium to full coverage look! I was very pleased with that aspect, but this isn't a "natural looking" finish by no means. Really, what full coverage foundation is? You can tell you're wearing a full coverage foundation for sure. I go easy with the powder or I sometimes end up even a little cakey looking. By the 5 hour mark this foundation starts creasing (almost looking like the Jouer foundation I reviewed recently) and breaking down on my skin. There still is ways to make this work though! I have been on a trial and error run with this foundation so let me explain what worked out the best in my opinion. I wanted to use a more hydrating primer, but after using a matte primer with this it lasted on my skin so much longer and looked a lot nicer with less creasing. The sponge really is the way to go with this! I lightly powdered my face and that seemed to help too. I powered more where I was going to be adding more powder products (bronzer, blush, highlight, etc.) because if you don't your foundation may move around while applying those. For todays look I did use two pumps, but I mainly worked up the full coverage over my breakout areas and still left some freckles peeking through to make it a little more natural. With those few tips I can get this foundation to work for a full 8 hour period with minor creasing. This foundation can be tricky and probably wouldn't work great with oily skin or super dry skin, but it's a nice drugstore option to have on hand. I would definitely wear it again, but I wouldn't say this is an absolute favorite of mine. 

 I give this foundation a 7/10! 
You can find this at Ulta for $9.99, but you may have to go a Target or other drugstore that carries Milani to get the newer shades.

Beauty Tuesday

For my first " Beauty Tuesday", I thought I would start it off with my May Ipsy bag. If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample size beauty products. This June marks two years that I've received a bag. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my May 2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below). I'm more into Ipsy for the actual products and not the bags, but I'll admit the ba

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug

August Ipsy Glam Bag

If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample sized beauty products. I've been getting one for two and an half  years  now.
