Milani Loves My Cheeks! Glimmers!
I avoided the CVS clear-out for more than a week. But then one day while running in to pick up a couple grocery Items I took a minute to check out what was left.I was really surprised when I saw so many of the Milani items on discount. Especially since this brand never seems to go on sale.
I picked up a couple Glimmer Stripes. Honestly if they were full price I would have skipped right over them. But for less than two bucks I thought they would be fun to review for you! The reason I say this is because I tend to avoid to much shimmer on my cheeks. I daily seem to navigate toward a matte blush paired with mac sculpt and shape (which is matte as well) I may mix it up with a bit of albatross every once in a while. But the above is pretty much my norm.
When I saw the Berry Glimmer I loved it immediately. The combination of colors are so bright and really stood out to me. The Pink Glimmer isnt really that pink, but gorgeous all the same. A real soft mauve’ ish tan… Hopefully the picture helps you visualize the color better than my description!
I wore the Berry Shimmer and was in love with the finish it left on my cheeks. No glittery mess but instead a beautiful coral glow! I can see myself wearing this often. I did feel like the Pink Glimmer was a bit more shimmery. But very fine and very when lightly applied.
This was the best picture I could get to show color. I tried swatching on my arm and it I couldn’t get them to show up on my skin. I think on my face on top of bronzer it really helped bring the color out. You definitely dont have to use alot to get payoff. These are smooth and easy to apply and best of all… They last all day! Definitely a great value, even at full price:)
Have you tried any Milani Cheek Products?

yeah they do look a bit shimmery but I have also heard of girls using them as eyeshadows. there real pretty colors and i guess u could use each color as a individual eye “shadow” as well. i wish i would have known about that sale. $2 bucks? u cant beat that!
