Hey dolls and gents! Long time no blog post huh? I know. Anyways, I got a ton of goodies from CVS this weekend; mostly from the 75% off Milani Cosmetics sale. I have been a fan of Milani ever since I ordered some products on Cyber Monday. I will be doing reviews and swatches on all the products I got as I use them. I find a ton of great buys including nail polishes, mineral blushes, 3D lipglosses, lipsticks, and a liquid eyeliner. If you haven't already heard about this sale, head on over to your local CVS before it's all sold out!! Seriously!! Here's a picture of all the goodies I purchased from Milani...
I spent less than $12 dollars on all of those combined (including my $7 off in extrabucks)!
I first want to start by reviewing and swatching the mineral blushes for y'all. Milani's mineral blushes are amazing! I already owned Mai-Tai from my previous
December Haul of Randomness video. It's such a gorgeous and pigmented matte blush that I wanted to try more. Since these blushes were only $1.75 at CVS, I knew this would be the perfect time to snag the rest!
I now own all 4 of the Milani mineral blushes. You can see the close-ups and swatches of each blush below.

From left to right: Sweet Rose, Luminous, Sunset Beach, & Mai-Tai (swatched on NW45 skin)
All of the blushes show up well on my skintone except for Luminous. I use Luminous as a highlight rather than a blush on myself. If you are lighter than me, it can be used as a blush. I've heard that Luminous is a dupe for NARS Orgasm blush.
Where can I find this product: Any drugstore that carries Milani Cosmetics (I got mine from CVS) or online.
Retails: $6.99 at most drugstores, but I got mine on sale for $1.75 each
Claims: This product claims to provide a lightweight feel, natural healthy glow, true-color application and smooth finish.
Is that true: ABSOLUTELY! These blushes are amazing and live up to all the previous claims. I'm not much of a blush gal, but these blushes are making me crave more!
The Good: Great pigmentation (a little goes a long way), blends seamlessly, affordable price, colors are universal for most skintones
The Bad: I think these blushes have been discontinued! I no longer see them available on the Milani Cosmetics website. =(
Overall Thoughts: I love these blushes and would definitely recommend them to you especially if you can find them at CVS for 75% off!
Have you tried any of the Milani mineral blushes? If so, what is your favorite shade? Also, have you purchased anything from the 75% off Milani Cosmetics CVS sale (select products) that is going on right now?
