So far I've only had great experience with Milani products and I'm especially a big fan of the Conceal + Perfect foundation , but this is my first time trying their eyeshadows and this has to be one of the most pigmented eyeshadow palettes in my collection. Only  TheBalm Nude-tude is equally great and maybe Too Faced Chocolate Bar , but that one has more densely packed eyeshadows. Gilded Desires is a limited edition palette with 12 eyeshadows, 6 metallics plus 6 mattes, and two pearly highlighters.  The texture of eyeshadows is so creamy and smooth, they are some of the creamiest classic eyeshadows I've tried. Only Colourpop Super Shock , Catrice's Metal Sensation and Essence Melted Chromes are softer, but they are not as pigmented as these. Metallics are super pigmented, though it differs from shade to shade, but all have a fully opaque look with very little effort and the effect is even better if you apply them wet (I haven't tried them that way, but I saw a re...

*ESSENCE Colour Boost Mad About Matte Liquid Lipstick 05 Dangerously Yours Unexpectedly I really love this. When these launched I didn't devote them a second of attention because I thought it's going to be some lame not-really-matte formula like L'Oreal's Lip Paint Matte s, but this is properly matte in a minute or two, it applies fully opaque and the colour is gorgeous. It's the shade I wanted Maybelline's Lover to be, as it's a similar mauve shade, but much pinker and warmer. It's on my lips in the picture with the Essence highlighter. 2.99 € *MILANI Gilded Desires Eye & Face Palette Review in Slovene (I'll have an English version here too) Contains 12 matte & shimmering metallics eyeshadows, plus two highlighters. This is a crazy pigmented palette and there are not many eyeshadows I've tried that would have such an intense colour pay-off so quickly. Formula is very soft and when I pushed a bit too hard with a brush when I was swatchin...

My Top 5 Foundation post is due for an much needed update (old one from 2015 is here ), since in the past years I've discovered three foundations that really impressed me. My skin type hasn't changed since I've done the last post, nor do I have any different preferences than before. I'm happy to report that in the past three years I found foundations that I don't like just for the formula, but also by some divine intervention also fit me in terms of shades. What a time to be alive! My skin is normal-combination that is drier in winter and oilier in the summer months. I still prefer to wear foundations that look natural on the skin and I'm prepared to sacrifice high coverage for that. MAYBELLINE Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation   100 Warm Vanilla  Coverage : light-medium Finish : semi-matte Undertone : yellow (both 100 and 110) Price : 8.99 € This very quickly became my favourite foundation ever, knocking Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum of its throne where is reigne...

MILANI Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer 00A Porcelain I have the original "lightest" shade 01 Creamy Vanilla that I got as a part of my job a long time ago and I fell in love with the formula, but the shade is just nowhere close to being right for me, so when they finally released a super pale one (on their third try, hence the odd numbering), I vowed to get it. It took a while, but I finally ordered it as a birthday gift for myself and I can report the happy news that this is one of the best shades for me that I ever found. It's pretty much up there with Maybelline Fit me 110 / 100 and it's close in how light it is, while the undertone is pink-ish, though this is the most neutral foundation I own so far which is what makes it so great ( swatches ). Milani you were a massive disappointment from the start, but on your third try you bloody nailed it. Great job! I have a full review of this formula already of that other shade, but briefly I'll just s...
