I hope El Hub doesn’t get jealous of my Valentine’s Day dates this year.
Yes, girl, “dates,” as in the plural. I’ll be painting the town rosy pink next week with these two new matte Baked Blushes from Milani.
Both are pretty cool cats, not that El Hub isn’t, but ya know… 🙂 The first one, Delizio Pink, is a cool matte bluish pink, and the second one is matte bluish red Bella Rosa.
These two dudes have the moves!
They’re smooove, like that guy who orders you a slice of raspberry cheesecake AND a scoop of salted caramel ice cream when you head to the ladies’ loo after dinner because he knows you won’t be able to pick between the two…
Sorry, I’m craving something sweet right now.
Anyway, smoooooove…
With the amount of pigment you get and the soft, fine feel of the powders, I feel like you get a lot of bang for your buck with these. Both of them pack a ton of color yet remain really easy to buff and blend. On top of that, they aren’t patchy or streaky at all. I just use a blush brush and a light hand, and that’s it. Flushed, natural-looking cheeks.
Oh, and the wear time? Killer. They last all day long for me. Not to call out NYX…but I think their Baked Blushes are similar, and similarly pretty, but those only last about five hours on my cheeks. Sad panda. 🙁
These are seriously drugstore diamonds. I think they even hold their own with MAC.
I just hope Milani releases some shades in warmer tones soon, so the warm-toned gals can rock ’em, too.
PRICE: $7.99 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and online at milanicosmetics.com

Speaking of Valentine’s Day…
How about a romantic evening in with this life-sized Ryan Gosling body pillow?
For a mere $74 (plus shipping), the ViolentDelightsBrand Etsy store will send you one, so that you may spend your nights with RyGos.
I suppose you could also spend your days with him, too, if you’re freaky like that.
No judgement! 🙂
And, um, am I the only one slightly disappointed that pillow-Gos is fully clothed? Color me perverted, I guess…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Wow, I’m so excited about these colors! Hadn’t heard of these releases until now. I’ll be taking both home with me as soon as I find them!
These look really vibrant and pretty! Definitely going to get Bella Rosa! Karen that Gosling pillow is a little creepy Lol .
LOL This post really made me laugh. He is really cute though!
Cute pictures!! I like bella roasa shade very muchh
I want them!
I want that pillow!
Im kinda thrilled that neither have any glitter yay! Thanks for the review and swatches, will keep an eye out for them.
These blushes are over $9 where I live in Alabama. Maybe I’ll wait for a sale.
I bought these today, but haven’t tried it yet. I hate that they’re $9.49 each in Oakland for these though! 🙁
Gorgeous colors! Bella Rosa will be so pretty on deeper complexions!
The pigmentation on those blushes are killer!
Bella Rosa is so pretty! I could stare at it just in the pan… 😛
I just love Milani and these new products are getting me really excited to do some drugstore hauling! I love the way Bella Rosa looks!
It’s nice to see Milani making matte blushes. I’ve always loved the baked blushes, but sometimes they were too shimmery. These look lovely.
Couldnt get past the cheekcake! 😉
I am so excited for these new colours to be coming out! It is so great to find such pigmented blushes from a cheaper brand and it really is a steal. When I go back to America I can’t wait to try some of these out!

Want the blushes. Want the Gos pillow. Great post!
NO!!! not the only one! my first thought, too, was, “man if i got that pillow i would NOT want him dressed in a tuxedo.” great minds think alike 🙂
Mmmm , cheesecake .
Hi , Karen !
Are these blushes limited edition ?
If not , I think I’ll just wait to purchase these ’til the Rose Powder blushes are re-released in March .
