Milani Tea Rose Powder Blush Review

This is a product review for Milani Cosmetics. I received a Limited Edition Rose Powder Blush in Tea Rose (08) for review.

All opinions are 100% my own. [Press Sample]

This is my first time trying Milani Cosmetics. They sent me their Limited Edition Rose Powder Blush in Tea Rose (08) to review. It's a gorgeous pink and I must say I'm very impressed! Upon opening the cover, I said "Hello Gorgeous"! HaHaHa What? You don't talk to your beauty products? HaHaHa 

This rose petal palette is dimensional and beautiful. I was surprised to see such artistry from a drugstore brand! I then thought maybe the color would be weak. I was wrong! The pigmentation is awesome. The color is build-able. Excellent first impressions! All for $7.99! Oooh, Milani is smelling like a rose!

I really like THIS shade of pink and I've never been a big fan of rose-colored anything (makeup, jewelry, etc). HaHaHa Swirl your blush brush lightly into the palette. Blow off the excess (yes, you will have excess). Apply with a light hand. This blush is pigmented, so you don't want to overdo it. The staying power (wear time for me) was about 5 hours. Now, every rose does have its thorns! I've read reviews that stated this blush was chalky and powdery. I detected a little bit of each, but it wasn't doom or gloom (at all). To test this, I used dry hands (no lotion) to see how the blush would swatch on non-moisturized, non-primed, and for me (DRY) skin. This would be the worse case scenario, because most of us prime and moisturize our skin (face) before applying makeup. So look below! This blush doesn't look bad at all! The only other little thorn is the case (packaging). It's a hearty-feel-good-in-the-palm-of-your-hands case, but it does scratch easily (both the gold & plastic lid). So even though the contents on the inside are REALLY PRETTY, the outside gets scratchy & smudgy :(.  However, the cover closes tightly and snaps securely. So there's no product fall out, in your precious cosmetic bag or even worse purse :).

I took two snapshots wearing my Milani Tea Rose Powder Blush, with the curtains open (sunlight) and closed (shade). I thought this would give you a good idea of how it looks in different lighting. I REALLY liked how it looked on me. It's uplifting and I think it will be perfect for Spring & Summer. Milani's Tea Rose Powder Blush beats out the Dior Cherie Bow Blush I paid quadruple for last year (I use it, but still disappointed in it! HaHaHa) Despite the little quirks of Milani, I still give it a SWEET rating. What are your thoughts? Have you tried Milani Cosmetics?
