Milani Rose Powder Blushes | Review + Swatches

Aside from lipstick, my favorite beauty product definitely has to be blush. I have a huge collection of both high end and drugstore blushes — I just can't get enough!

Since I have quite a few of Milani's Baked shimmery blushes, I knew I had to pick up a couple from the brand's newer line of matte Rose Powder blushes to check them out.

There's A New NYX Taupe (It's Paraben-Free!)

Recently, NYX reformulated their powder blushes and came out with a new HD line ($6.49 each).  Once I learned that their new HD line was paraben-free, I quickly scanned the list of available shades, and there's a new Taupe!

Blush Review: NYX Powder Blush 'Terra Cotta'

NYX Powder Blush in Terra Cotta ($5.99 for 0.18 oz)

NYX powder blushes are great quality blushes. They come in tons of colors (many of them dupes for NARS and other high-end brands), last pretty long, and blend beautifully onto the skin.

Terra Cotta is one of the most unique blushes in my collection. See what I think of Terra Cotta below!

Review: Milani Red Vino Baked Blush

Long time no blog! I spent the entire month of July packing and unpacking as we moved apartments, so it was pretty hectic and I had no real time to settle down and write some posts. Plus, most of my makeup was packed away so I couldn't really play with it. The good news is that our new apartment is slightly bigger and we had enough room to buy me a little laptop desk to make it more comfortable to blog and work.

Even better, our bedroom is bigger so I've been able to move my makeup out of the bathroom finally and found an awesome Target bookcase to display all my stuff. Post on that coming soon!

The Balm/Hautelook Haul and Mini-Review

About a month ago, Hautelook had a sale for The Balm, and since those deals don't come by that often, I went ahead and snatched some items that had been on my list!

I picked up Betty-Lou Manizer, a gorgeous bronzer/highlighter/shadow, Hot Mama, a rose gold shadow/blush, and two Time Balm cream foundations: Light for a base, and Dark for contouring.

Revlon Baby Stick Review, aka Makeup Fail Alert

Since this blog is new, I thought I'd start out the first few posts as a roundup of my favorite products and not focus on the negative. BUT this one product I'm about to share is so new and SO BAD, that I have to let everyone know! Here we go...
