Comparing this to MAC's Stereo Rose is irrelevant for me because I don't own a single MAC product simply because I'm just not that impressed with the brand. But these blushes are my new obsession. They are just beautiful. It's ridiculous. This particular ones is a peach rose with gold shimmer that is sooo pigmented. Someone else mentioned using a kabuki to blend after applying this and I wish I had done that today because I got to work and looked a little clownish. My bad. But seriously a beautiful blush.

I hate to burst everybody's bubble on this being an 'exact' DUPE for Mac Stereo Rose MSF, but its not. Stereo rose for starters in a single swipe or 'swatch' is a pink with gold frost to it with burgundy veining, while Rose D'oro is a coral with gold shimmer in it through its gold veining. Considering Stereo Rose was LE (limited edition) & rose d'oro is certainly a beautiful close runner up when 'applied' (the glitter in Milani swatch is not detectable on cheeks; somehow it turns into a sheen). So previous owners of MSF don't be surprised/disappointed. Owning over a dozen opened blushes, I don't know if its going to be a repurchase for me (yet).


Also price breakdown:
Milani Baked Blush Rose D'Oro -prices vary $7-$8 for 0.12 oz
Mac Stereo Rose MSF-$28.00 for 0.35 oz
Overall its between $1 to $4 price difference depending on where u purchase/if its on sale (BOGO), depends on availability & preference.


UPDATE already i know lol, I wanted to upload pics to show what I mean, but found a great blog that proves my point on the colors precisely, See for yourself:

I really like my Milani Baked Blush in Rose D'Oro. The pink peachy color looks great on my NC35 skin. It gives me a pretty summer glow. The pigmentation is great and you only need to use a light hand get the color to show. I found out this blush is a perfect dupe for MAC Stero Rose. MAC Stero Rose was a limited edition cult product that’s super hard to find. This is a much cheaper and accessible alternative.

While this is a pretty, shimmery blush, it's no different than several blushes I already own. I really wanted a new rose colored blush. I wouldn't call this color rose, on me it's simply peach--different than how it looks in the pan. Nice color for summer. Decently pigmented. I would recommend these blushes, but this color is not my favorite.

For reference I am an NC45. I really like this blush! It gives my cheeks a rosy glow! I don't think it's too shimmery as some reviewers have said; I have seen way more shimmery blushes. Of course if you add a too much, it's going to look shimmery but I use a fluffy blush brush with light strokes and it just looks glowy. (I also have the Milani mineral blush in Sunset beach and I love that too but that is more of a matte finish.)
I would recommend this and other Milani products to others and actually just bought this baked blush in Rose D'Oro for a friend as well.

These Milani baked blushes are so, so pretty! I purchased Rose D'Oro based on MUA reviews and am glad I did. It's one of my go-to blushes. As on some others, this shows up more peachy on me than pink. Actually, in the pan it's really more a peachy color than rosy. The streaks of gold are beautiful. It is extremely pigmented. So much so that after I apply, I take a kabuki and blend, blend, blend to tone it down a bit. That said, I would much rather have a blush that's too pigmented than not pigmented at all. It comes with a useless brush. Have never used it and never will. My only annoyance is that I have trouble opening the package sometimes. Therefore, I keep it slightly open so that I can just flip the lid up without worrying about breaking a nail. I rotate this blush with a few others that I like. I absolutely adore Milani products....so affordable and pretty. :-)

On my skintone this shows up a peachy color. It's not very noticable and easy to build up on me. I does have shimmer in the pan but non of it showed up on my face. I did find that it looked better on my sister NC44 than on me NC50-55.

Probably the best blush I've ever used. I never really bought blush before cuz I'm not big on blush, but one of my favorite youtube gurus said these blushes are comparable to MAC blushes, and I love any MAC dupes just to prove we don't need to molest our wallets and waste money at MAC. So I bought it and it is so pretty! Just the perfect amount of pink with a sort of gold undertone. It didn't make me look odd or ill like most blushes tend to. This actually made it look like I had a natural glow of pink through my skin!

Gorgeous deep rosy coral with hot pink and gold veining, all shimmery. I mean, seriously. This is a blush that you can just look at in the pan and ogle. Dang son, it's pretty. Fortunately, it also looks pretty on one's face. I could see this working on a variety of skin tones--it's peachy-pinky-coral... enough pink to work on cooler tones, enough peach and gold to work on warmer tones. It's crazy good pigmented. I'm N5, so I just touch a skunk brush to the surface and have enough for a cheekbone. And it does last really well. It's a good value for the price, but I wish there was more blush in the pan and that the packaging wasn't as bulky.

Holy shimmer! Seriously though, this blush is incredibly shimmery leaning towards glittery. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily, my biggest problem with shimmery blushes is that the colour tends to fade away but the sparkle remains. Fortunately tapping your brush will help if this blush is too shimmery for you. I do love it, I love how it looks in the pan and I love the colour but I think it may be a little deep for my skin tone. I think it works best in the summer time when I have a bit of a tan. Use a light hand if you are fair skinned! One thing I must mention is the durability of this product. I've dropped it twice from standing height and not even a crack. I would not repurchase this shade but I would like to try a different colour, Dolce Pink perhaps.

I bought ALL the Milani Baked Blushes and I'm wearing Rose D'Oro now. It gives me a wonderful flush of color and the shimmer doesn't give me the look of a disco ball. The shimmer showed up more on my finger when I swiped it then on my face - which I'm extremely grateful for! I'm loving this shade and I hope it lasts all day! It gives my face a nice uplifting look and makes me look more awake and bright! It's a keeper!

Packaging is rather annoying, but like everyone said, this baked blush is crazy pigmented. I'm an NC 25 for reference, and I think this blush looks great on my skin. Although the first time I put it on, I did so just like I always apply blush, and my sister was like, "Your blush is waay too obvious. Too heavy for just a work day."

So lesson learned: Use a very, very light hand.

It's just so pretty. I just like to stare at it for a couple seconds before applying it to my face. Buy it :)

I can't get enough of these baked blushes. I own Rose D'Oro, Luminoso and Coralina and none of these disappoint! This is my most recent purchase and is my second favorite behind Luminoso. I thought this was going to be a glittery mess when I swatched it but it creates the most perfect rosy glow on your cheeks.. A light hand does the trick and as previous reviews state it really does last a super long time. I'm going to end up buying every color... yay.

I agree that this a great dupe of Stereo Rose MSF, but the best thing is that this lasts LONGER on me than the MAC Stereo Rose, and so for the price that is a winner for sure.
The shimmer is subtle when on the face, although it doesnt seem that way when you look at the blush in a pan.
I have a problem with blushes wearing off on me, none seem to last that long on my moderately oily skin but this LASTED really well and only faded towards the end of the day. I am AMAZED by this, as I have tried so many blushes from high end such as Chanel and NARS all the way to ELF and none have lasted like this one!
Packaging is a bit bulky and i have no idea why the mirror is underneath the blush, but anyways..and the brush is rubbish - throw that away - but the important thing here is the blush and that is gorgeous and long wearing. Will repurchase and I cant wait to try other shades. For reference I am NC35/40 and this is a gorgeous shade on me that can be built up if necessary....definately worth a try! Thank you Milani! :-)

I don't find this to be glittery at all. Not even the veined bronze. Its very finely milled and pulls a nice peachy pink on me. I've got one in every color and the only one that has huge chunks of glitter is Coralina - big huge silver chunks of glitter. Fortunately this one is perfect - i'm grabbing some backups.

Love it! Super pretty blush, I adore the color. It does have shimmer, but it really works. It's not too much. I had to call 3 Targets and 2 Kmarts to find this, as well as CVS. I ended up getting it at KMart, they are the only one that had it. I want to try other shades now.

I never knew I could ever find a drugstore blush that would replace my NARS and my MAC - it amazes me. This is such a beautiful coral shade with a golden undertone that just looks really great with my tan NC40 skin tone. The pigmentation is insane and the lasting power is incredible. I swear this lasts me throughout the whole day. Sure there is a bit of fading, but the color is still there. It also contains more product than the standard mineralized blushes. I believe MAC has 3.2 grams and Milani has 3.5 grams. I got my MAC MSF blush for $23 and my Milani for $8, same great pigmentation, but Milani has more lasting power. I will buy more of these blushes! I am obsessed and I believe Milani blushes may have put MAC blushes to shame.

This is my 2nd favorite Milani Baked Blush after Coralina. It's a beautiful shimmery rose-pink with a slight hint of peachy-coral. It imparts the most beautiful glow to your face when applied and makes you look radiant and in good health. Some people may not care for the gold shimmer but I think it adds a little something extra to the blush. I would definitely purchase this again.

Really liking this blush. Comes off as a peachy tone with shimmer. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the fall out. I don't think I've ever had that happen with a blush. Other than that good pigmentation and beautiful color on my nc25 skintone. This also comes with a mini brush and mirror at the bottom and cost me 6.99$ @ target.
