Buy and try: Milani Face Illuminating Powder

Hi again!

While I was at the drugstore looking for a face scrub (check out this post to see which one I ended up getting), I stopped by the makeup section (surprise!) and this caught my eye. It's the Milani Face Illuminating Face Powder in 03 Beauty's Touch. I got it for around 8-9 dollars, which in my opinion is pretty standard for drugstore makeup these days.

I'm not going to lie, the packaging on this is pretty darn cute.

The description says that you can use this product as a highlighter, bronzer, and blush, but I think this shade is too pink to use as a bronzer. There were other shades that were less pink to choose from that would be better for bronzing. This gives you a very subtle, pink sheen that is great for a fresh-faced look. You can also get slightly different colors depending on which shades you pick up with your brush- if you want to use it as a highlighter, focus on the lighter colors. To use it as a blush, swirl your brush mostly on the pink shades. For a nice intermediate, swirl your brush all over those little roses! 

This product is okay- it's a nice subtle hint of color that adds a slight glow to your face. In my opinion, it's more of a sheer blush than an illuminating powder. If you're new to highlighting or afraid of overdoing it, this is worth a try. If you have a highlighter that you like already and are looking for a cheaper option, I wouldn't recommend getting this one.

Let me know what you think in the comments! x
