Ah, Sunday... the laziest day of the week. I've spent mine lazing about, reading, drinking milky tea, slow roasting a farm fresh chicken (one of the perks of living in a small-ish town) that is now a giant pot of matzoh ball soup. This evening, I plan on watching Practical Magic for what is likely the 867th time and maybe pop a bit of popcorn. Quite possibly a perfect day!
As busy as I've been, I even managed to edit a few photos and thought I could probably squeeze a bit of blogging in to my hectic day. Care to take a look?
I love highlighters! It's true. I never used to bother with them, but since I started
Milani released these months ago, but I kind of forgot about them... they're available in three shades and all have a girly rose type swirl pattern to match the mosaic look of the powder. The compact, unfortunately, is the typical Milani gold, but it is quite weighty, with a very solid plastic top. For an inexpensive item, the packaging seems really durable.
Milani Amber Nectar Illuminating Face Powder
Milani Amber Nectar Illuminating Face Powder
Amber Nectar is a peachy shade with the slightest bit of sheen.Milani recommends applying this with a kabuki brush, and I totally agree. The texture of this powder is a bit too firm to work with a fluffy blush brush. While firm, the powder does have a decent amount of pigmentation, but it isn't as pigmented as other Milani blushes I've used, and this shade likely won't work that well on darker skin tones.
Overall, this is a decent blush, but it doesn't quite give enough glow to be a highlighter on it's own. As a blush it's a great shade for light complexions as it gives some warmth and a subtle sheen. Have you tried any of Milani's Illuminating Face Powders? What did you think?
