This video is super late due to my stupid video editor not working! Arrgh, I've had so many problems with my camera, editor, etc. But-I did make a discovery...my camera films in HD! I feel so stupid because that means I could have been filming in HD this whole time! Oh well, at least I know it now :)
If you've been wondering where I've been, my allergies have been driving me nuts lately and I haven't been feeling up to blogging. Also I've been feeling a little uninspired and not sure what blog about. My house has been extremely hot and stuffy due to the hot weather so that tends to make me feel lethargic and lazy. But I am trying to think of new posts and will be back soon with more :)
Enjoy the video! :)
So I am not sure of the exact date that this launched, but all I know is that it came out recently (this year) and that I just discovered it at CVS.
What does this concealer remind you of? (In case you can't think of it, it's very reminiscent of YSL's Touche Eclat Concealer)
I love the gold packaging!
Here is a description of the concealer, taken from the Milani website:
"HD Advanced Concealer click pen covers imperfections, dark circles, with a weightless, good-for-your-skin liquid formula that leaves a natural finish as it brightens with a soft focus for flawless skin." The shade I got was Medium Honey, which is beige with yellow undertones You click here to dispense the product which flows down through the tube and onto the brush. The first time will take a couple of clicks to get it flowing, but after it usually only takes about two clicks. I really like this pen concealer! I haven't used the YSL one so I can't compare the two, but from the reviews I've read, this one comes pretty close to it. The concealer glides on smoothly and blends in easily without enhancing any fine lines or dryness. I wouldn't say the coverage is full enough to hide major imperfections, but it does hide redness around the nose, under eye circles, and gives the skin a subtle illuminating glow. The formula is long wearing and I didn't find that I had to do any touch ups throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this product, especially if you don't want to spend about 5 times more for the YSL! You can buy this at CVS, Walgreens, or any other major drugstore for about $6.99-$7.99. It comes in four shades: Light, Medium, Medium Beige, and Medium Honey Rating: 4.5/5 Pros: good coverage, blends well, inexpensive, gives a nice, soft glow Cons: Takes awhile for the product to dispense and sometimes too much can come out, don't like the brush for blending, also, limited shades Would I repurchase? Definitely! Note: you know the drill, this was paid for me with my own money...just because it works for me doesn't mean it will work for you and vice versa...use your own judgement...blah, blah, blah... :P
About a week ago I was getting my daily fix of Musings of a Muse's blog when I came across her latest post about Milani's new Perfect Red Lipstick. Supposedly this lipstick is able to change color according to your body's PH levels and adjust to the perfect shade of red for your skintone. How does it do that? I have no idea....but the idea sounded intriguing, plus her photos of the lipstick were what caught my attention because I love the packaging! It looks super fancy, kinda like the Dior Addict lipsticks, with the rounded bottom..thing. Obviously the packaging is all about looks and not functionality :P
Anyways, being the extremely persuable (?) person that I am, I immediately ran to the nearest CVS and got it, because hey, a girl can never have too many red lipsticks right? Just like shoes :P
So here is a swatch of it, this is definitely a verrry vibrant red, not for the meek
And here is the swatch on my lips. In case you guys are wondering, I'm attempting to be more creative with my photography, so please bear with me if I look kinda lame sometimes with my poses :P
I reallly like this lipstick, it's definitely the perfect shade of red if you are trying to look uber sexy and daring. However, I didn't notice it adjust at all, unless the color on my lips was the color that matched my skintone the best., I don't know. The formula is super creamy, almost slippery in fact, and feels very moisturizing. I haven't worn it out yet so I don't know how long it lasts when applied, but a word of warning: once you wipe it off, your lips will be stained for a looong time. So unless you're prepared to have bright red stained lips, do not try this on until you're ready to wear it for good.
What do you guys think? Any thoughts about this product?
