I have such mixed feeling's about this product. This is my first BB cream. I choose it because it was oil free and pump packaging. Smells like sunscreen be careful around your eyes. Fairly nice smell. Very easy to blend and apply. It does have a sheen to it - was not glittery on me. I'm just not sure if it does anything great for me. It's not horrible but not great either! I don't have any serious problems with my skin/combination with no scars or bad marks. Coverage was very transparent and light didn't notice any difference btw bare skin and adding this. Maybe I need to go out buy at least 3 BB creams and 3 new liquid foundations available on the market and keep receipts and return what does not work. I'm curious to try Smashbox. Not sure what Ulta's return policy is? If I found something better I would return it.

Gave it away to someone. Color not good for me. Looked ok on my hand not good on my face. Lovely look and packaging. Didn't apply very well on my face. I have pink undertones in my skin. Just not impressed at all with it. Kind of cheap product I think. Would prob look good on someone with dark hair and different skin tone.

I Luv It! It does come with a really nice mirror which flips up so ignore person who says it doesn't. It has a really interesting creamy texture which when applied to your skin is glowy but matte and hides my freckles and works fantastic over liquid make-up. I was nervous about trying it but really glad I did. I bought translucent. FYI Target has it with a coupon stuck to it that says buy one get one free. I grabbed a blush instead and guess what it worked! So I got a pretty new blush and this for price of one. Brush is a bit odd but it does work in a pinch like everyone esle I used a better brush to apply. I'm very happy with my purchase it has a youthful finish to it. I also feel's like its good for my skin - talc free. I wore it today and went for a hike with my family and my skin did not feel irratated or itchy or sticky. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts me as not sure how deep the pan is. Hopefully I can find it again for a deal.

Blush -Milani - Baked Blush in Luminoso

I googled Nars Orgasm for reviews because I wanted to buy it. Luminoso popped up as a dupe. I bought it - its a very pretty peachy/pink with gold shimmer - not glitter. I looked at Orgasm in Sephora not impressed. I acutally really like the packaging its a cute round countainer with nice mirror and the brush is a hell of a lot better than Covergirl. I feel pretty when I wear it. It seems very pigmented and long wearing. Some people also compare it to Carolista by Benefits. This is much better quality I checked out the benefits blush nowhere as nice. I was looking at other Milani blush/colors in Target and it was sold out word must be getting around!
