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.

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder \\ Skincare Pineapple Exfoliating Powder I was so skeptical about this product. I mean it is a super fine powder that is suppose to exfoliate my skin. It is a super fine powder, but it still does the trick! While being extremely gentle to the skin the natural starch and silk powder exfoliates your skin removing dead skin build up and surface build up in pores. On top of that it will leave your skin glowing with the 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid from all the fruit extracts in this. It has not only pineapple, but also kiwi and papaya! What's even better (that I have absolutely loved!) is that this is made without microbeads, nuts, or anything that will be too harsh and could potentially scratch the surface of your skin.  While being super gentle it will also leave your skin soothed and calm with the calamine powder and allantoin that is in it too.  Sorry I sound like an infomercial in these blogs. I just want all the info out there for you w...

Black Moon Cosmetics Lip Trio | Makeup

  Mini Moon Liquid to Matte Nude Trio (Deep/Dark) I was happy to make another purchase from the indie brand, Black Moon Cosmetics . I bought the Urban Myth palette last fall and fell in love with it! The brand has since caught my attention over and over with it's clever packaging, overall asethetic, and unique shades. And not just with eyeshadow but with lipsticks as well. Their shade range in lip products are so cool and the packaging is beautiful. I have to say I'm still usually on the fence about trying new liquid lipsticks. To be honest, I feel I have found formulas/brands that work for me and that I know wear amazingly and feel comfortable (not too drying) and I've stuck to those when buying new shades. So it put me off for awhile until I seen them advertise these adorable tin moon holders. At first I seen them and thought of decor, they were so cute! I recently redecorated my filming setup and was in the market for little trinkets that caught my attenion and this one...
