Milani Secret Cover Concealer

>> Monday, May 10, 2010


I recently got my haul of items from Cherry Culture and I am very pleased with my order. I was looking for a good cheap concealer that matches more closely to my skin color than the one I'm using now. Prior to this I was using NYX jar concealer in yellow, which works great but only when I use foundation over it because the color of the concealer is very bright. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that concealer but there are some days that I don't want to cake my face, I just want to throw on some concealer and go. Since I love the NYX jar concealer so much I picked up another one, this time in beige and this Milani concealer in Warm Beige. They were both around $5 each. After I tried this Milani concealer, I don't even think I'm going to touch the NYX one, I love it! It blends in with my skin perfectly. If you are NW25-NC30, I highly recommend you get one of these.

PROS:
- pigmentation is great, I can see this covering EVERYTHING!
- matches my NW25/NC30 skin perfectly
- you get a lot for less. At just $5, your getting 7.7 grams, to put in perspective, a MAC paint pot is only 5.5 grams
- creamy, easy to blend
CONS:
- doesn't last as long as the NYX jar concealer
- for some reason (may be the weather) this concealer condensates in the jar. I tried taking more pictures of it but since I was using my jacked up camera I couldn't get it to focus when I was close up. Ill probably have better pictures when Anthony and I move in together since he has one of those expensive cameras







Here's the rest of my haul. I LOVE the NYX lip gloss I got in Mauve. More swatches and FOTD to come soon!

Nice review :) Reminds me I need to get a darker color of my NYX Concealer. How do you like the Smokey Look Kit!? I've been debating if I should purchase that one or the Smokey Eye Palette

I feel the same way, I sometimes just want to put concealer on, lip gloss, a little bit of blush, and go.

Thanks for the review and the NYX lip gloss in Mauve looks really pretty.:D

Have a lovely week, Leah!:D

awww thanks loves!!!

I never really tried the Milani brand up until recently when I heard their blush rivals NARS orgasm. I really like this brand, its cheap and good quality :)

Susie - The Smokey Look kit is the SAME as the the Smokey Palette! The only difference is the shadows in the kit is smaller and comes w/ lip color. Im gonna post the swatches up sometime today
