Although it’s a body lotion, I purchased this product based on reviews from users who would use it on their face to save on cost. I was reticent at first since my skin is acne-prone and the ingredients seemed rich, but I decided to buy the full sized bottle after trying the sample. I was not disappointed and it has become a holy grail product which I use on alternate nights with the retinol version. Although it’s meant to be moisturizing, I still need to layer with an additional moisturizer especially in winter. -

This liquid-based BHA is fast absorbing and great for layering. To save on product, I apply it with my hands before my moisturizer at night. Although the Website recommends its usage twice a day, I prefer daily because I otherwise get flaking on my combination skin. I highly recommend BHA in general since it is the one thing that has made true improvement on my acne-prone skin. -

Purchased in the Light Rose,very flattering for my fair complexion.
Pros:
- Like most baked blush, this has good staying power
- Shade is natural and adds a lovely glow
Cons:
- Pricier end for the drugstore, but lasting power partly makes up for it
- While the sparkles add a nice glow, there is ever slightly too much and it pulls on the golden side for a light pink which is not personal preference

I’m on the fence about this blush. The shade Baby Blossom is a light matte pink was very flattering to my fair complexion, but I found the lasting power to be moderate, the packaging to be bulky and the price to be on the higher end for the drugstore. It is however very buildable and natural looking. I used it up and may repurchase for more natural “no makeup” makeup days. -

I usually purchase from the drugstore, but took the plunge with this blush as it seemed to be a cult favourite. This truly the perfect peachy pink… I think it would suit most skin tones, but it gave my fair complexion a natural flush. It is heavily pigmented and very long-lasting. While this is a pricier purchase, I think the quality is well worth it. However, it must be noted that there are sparkles. While I think it's not overpowering, it could be off-putting to some. -

I’m very impressed with this blush! I have it in Romantic Rosewhich the perfect muted mauvy rose for everyday and looks great on my fair complexion (but I think it would suit most). The staying power is great and this is a steal even for the drugstore. The quality is remarkable even more so than some higher end products that I have tried. Finally, I can’t review this product without mentioning the packaging… it looks luxurious and is the most beautifully flower -shaped blush. I must say however that for the price you get less product that other Milani blushes, but it’s still well worth it. -

I bought this based on overwhelming positive reviews, but it was not my favourite. I found the finish to be rather cakey and the packaging to be very cheap with the cover breaking in multiple spots. I was also disappointed it with the inclusion of fragrance. I did use it up, but would not repurchase. Overall, it’s not the best option at the drugstore in my opinion. -

This is one of the better pressed powders available at the drugstore. It sets my foundation beautifully while not being overly mattifying for my combination skin. I have it in the shade Light Ivory and have found the undertones to be perfect with just enough yellow to brighten while not being overpowering. It also offers slight coverage on “no makeup” days where I add this over my sunscreen. -

I bought this blush in the shade Candy Coral. While I loved the shade and the cushion feel to the product, I would not repurchase. Disclaimer: cream blushes are not my favourite to begin with, but I was particularly disappointed with this product.
Pros:
- Great shade and price
- Cushion texture is pleasant
Cons:
- Application is hard to control
- Finish is very patchy
- Seems to collect (dust, etc.) more than other cream blushes
