Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Beach Review

Today I am going to be reviewing the Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Beach. I have previously reviewed the Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Breeze and the Milani Glimmer Stripes in Pink Glimmer and I really liked both of them. I picked up the Milani products in Poundland as they are not that readily available in the UK.  

The packaging of this is pretty nice. It comes in a gold compact with a clear lid. On this particular one I find that the lid isn’t that secure but on the other two that I own the lid is much more secure so I am not sure why this one is different.  I like that this is a two in one product as I don’t wear bronzer that often but I am more likely to wear it if it is in the same compact as the blush that I am wearing. One complaint that I have is that the blush and bronzer are not equal in size. I think it would be much easier if it was split down the middle as I find it difficult to get my brush in just the blush or just the bronzer. 

I use the Real Techniques Blush Brush to apply this product but like I mentioned above this brush is quite big which isn’t ideal for applying the blush as there is only a small area that I often get bronzer on my brush as well. 

The blush is a really pretty plum shade with gold shimmer running through it. I don’t have any other shade like this in my collection and I find that it looks very pretty on my pale skin. The bronzer has a slight bit of shimmer in it but it isn’t too much that your face looks glittery. The pigmentation of these two is ok. There are more pigmented blushes available but if you want a subtle touch of colour then this is great. The bronzer is more pigmented than the blush. I use the bronzer to add some colour all over my face. 

Overall I do like this product but this is not my favourite colour combination I prefer Sunset Breeze and Sunset City as the colour combination is better suited to my skin tone.

February Favourites

I know I haven't been posting much recently but school has been busy and we don't have a lot of time left before we go on study leave which is really scary I might do a bit of an update post later on today. But today I thought I would share with you my February favourites although there aren't actually that many because I've been sticking to the same things and not buying many new things. 

My first favourite is the Model Co. Fibre Lashxtend this is a fibre mascara and it's the only one of its kind that I have ever tried but I really like this one. It lengthens and volumises my lashes and I love the way it makes them last. It lasts all day but it isn't too difficult to remove and unlike a lot of mascaras it doesn't clump my lashes together. I can't say that it is completely down to the fibres in the mascara as I'd have  to try other fibre mascaras to see how they compared. I got this free with an issue of Glamour Magazine and full price is £16 which I probably wouldn't spend on a mascara but you can get it free with this months Glamour Magazine so I recommend picking it up now if you want to try it. 

Next is the Nivea Tinted Moisturiser I am a massive fan of tinted moisturisers and BB creams when I was in Superdrug a while ago this was on offer and so I picked it up. Obviously the idea behind a tinted moisturiser is to act as a light base and offer a small amount of coverage. I really like wearing this too school as it is very light on my skin and offers a little bit of coverage. I do have to be careful though as if I able too much then it can look orange. 

Next is 2 lipglosses from Accessorize, I got these for Christmas in a set of three. These 2 colours are my favourites from the set. I love the formula of these they  aren't at all sticky and they are pretty long lasting for lip glosses. The darker pink one is really pigmented and looks gorgeous on the lips and as it fades it leaves a nice stain. The other one isn't as pigmented but it adds a subtle pink colour to the lips which is great for when I want to wear something a bit more subtle.  

My last favourite is the Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Breeze  I really love the blush colour as it is very subtle but still really pretty and the bronzer is the perfect shade for pale skin as it isn't too brown or too orange. This is a really handy product when it comes to travel as you've got 2 products in one. The powders are very pigmented and easy to blend. 

So they are my February favourites, what are your favourite products from the last month?

Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Breeze Review

This is something I bought quite awhile ago from Poundland. They had quite a lot of these in the shop and I was intrigued by them. Milani is a brand that is difficult to get here in the UK but I believe that it is much more widely available in the US. I believe that Milani is a drugstore brand but I have seen some very positive reviews of their products in the past so I thought I would give this a go. 

This is a blush and bronzer duo called Sunset Duo in the shade Sunset Breeze. I really like multi- purpose products and I thought that this duo would be very handy for travelling and also it means that I only have to reach for one product in the morning instead of two. 

I love the gold packaging with a clear lid. Although this is an affordable brand the packaging still feels very sturdy. The blush is a gorgeous pink with shimmer running through it. This can we worn subtlety or you can build it up. I really like this blush for applying a small amount of colour to my cheeks. I love the bronzer in this, it is a matte bronzer so it can be used for contouring as well. I love the colour of this as it is not too orangey or too muddy so it looks perfect on my pale skin. 

I have been reaching for this nearly everyday and I am really impressed with it. This product isn't as pigmented as some but it is definitely buildable. My only problem with it is that I wish the blush and bronzer was equally split across the compact as I find that my Real Techniques Blush Brush is too big to fit in the blush part.

Have you tried these?
