First Look: Milani Illuminating Face Powder

For those of you who want to have a highlighter that doesn't break the bank, I suggest you check out Milani's newest. These Illuminating Face Powders are not only gorgeous in the pan, they provide a beautiful glow anywhere you place it. I've only used these a handful of times and I'm pretty smitten.

The colors I purchased are Amber Nectar and Hermosa Rose and both look gorgeous. The design of the product mimics that of their department brand counterpart. Both Laura Mercier and Guerlain have out beautiful highlighters with similar floral designs and higher prices. I do have to admit, I am lusting after the Guerlain Cruel Gardenia highlighter and felt that this would satiate my highlighter appetite for a bit.

Hermosa Rose is a bit dark for me to highlight with, so it's best to use it as a bronzer or blush to warm up the face. Amber Nectar when blended out provides just enough sheen for a healthy glow. There is also a third one out labeled Beauty's Touch, but I have yet to see it in drugstores.

2010 Beauty Favorites - A Tag

The lovely Princesa Livia tagged me for a beauty survey. I love these! Let's get started shall we?

Questions:
1-Which lipstick/ lip gloss did you use most often in 2010?

This one is a toughie cause I love a ton of lipsticks! The most used would have to be my MAC Viva Glam V. It's the perfect neutral everyday color.

2-What was your favorite eyeshadow this year?

Eyeshadow(s) would have to be my Naked Palette by Urban Decay. I don't care how many people think it's just an "OK" palette. It's so versatile that you can do a ton of different looks.

3-What product for the complexion (foundation, blush, etc.,) did you use the most?
Hands down my Revlon Photo Ready foundation. It gave me the perfect finish without looking too cakey or done up.

4-Your favorite nail polish color of 2010?

OPI's Meet Me on The Star Ferry or Lincoln Park After Dark.

5-Which skin care product would you not give up under any circumstances?

My Oil of Olay Hydrating Fluid is something I would not give up. It was a favorite of my Grandma's and now I know why. This stuff is amazing. It hydrates the skin without making it too oily and leaves it nice and supple.

6-What is your favorite personal care product?

My Nivea Smooth Sensation lotion. I use it everyday after I shower. No dry skin for me and it smells wonderful.

7- Your usually worn fragrance in 2010?

My Ralph Lauren Blue fragrance. Beau got it for me on our first month anniversary and I've loved it since.

8-What was your personal favorite jewelry piece?

My Satya Lotus Petal earrings. These are perfect for any occasion.

9-What have you discovered in 2010 that is new for you (new products, inspirations, blogs, hobbies, etc.,)?

My makeup journey really began at the tail end of 2009 and full force in 2010. I have learned a ton of stuff including neat tricks and tips from all my blogger friends. I've also learned the importance of creating dimension on your face. Blush and bronzer are your friends.

10- Do you have resolutions for 2011? If so, what are they?

My beauty resolutions are to create different looks and use more colors. I don't want to be so safe with neutrals (though they are wonderful). I just want to be more creative.
