L'Oreal HIP Collection


I’m not much of a drugstore beauty person, as you might know. But maybe all those bright colors just drew me to this collection. Finally, I’m noticing that these brands of makeup are starting to posess this high end quality. It’s so refreshing to see exciting makeup!!!
Here’s what I bought.

Vibrant Shimmer Bronzing Powder in Glowing- I really like these, and I will probably buy the other three for my kit. They all come in different variations of brown. The color is very even, sheer and easy to use. It isn’t a ton of glitter on your face, but gives you that glow. Very, very pretty.

Concentrated Shadow Duo in Sassy-I bought this duo for the frosty taupe color. It’s fabulous. Super frosty, gorgeous. The teal is nice as well. The color comes off very rich, you don’t have to dig and press and fight to make the color appear as it really is. I already have colors that resemble most of these shadows, but I might buy a few more for the heck of it.

Illuminating Highlighter-This isn’t an item needed for everyday, but it sure does set off a look. These highlighters are creamy and have the perfect amount of pigment to them, just enough that they don’t have to be blended down to hard. Highlighters are used to bring attention to an area, so I would use it around the frame of the eye (basically where you can feel the eye cavity).

Overall, I love HIP. Tons of color and great quality. The next things I’ll buy are the glosses and blush cremes. Go out and take a look at your local drugstore or Target, Wal-mart, etc.

Milani Cosmetics


For all of you drug store junkies or bargain shoppers, be aware that there is a high end knock off brand out there. Milani cosmetics is a highly pigmented line found at most drugstores including CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade, etc. I heard talk about the brand, so I figured I would give them a try. The eyeshadows remind me ALOT of MAC, soft and rich in color. I take these out with me during the day because they are so small and convenient to carry. If I worked for MAC(oh please, please Lord grant me the honor of working for MAC)and I wore Milani shadows during my shift, nobody would have a clue. The glosses aren’t my favorite, but I am very picky about lipglosses, but many people do like them. I have heard they were thin and wore off easily. The blushes are great considering they are so inexpensive, I am picky about blush as well, but they worked out great. I won’t be trying their foundations because I haven’t heard anything good about them. My suggestion, get some L’Oreal or Maybelline foundation. So, I haven’t bought one of everything, but I can tell you one thing, MILANI IS A WINNDER!
