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.

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

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...
