As I talked about in my last post, I own a great deal of makeup. With that said, I thought I would talk about my favorite drugstore products, featuring Milani Cosmetics. I don’t mind splurging on high end makeup if its in the budget, but realistically speaking that doesn’t happen often. However, I find that there are many drugstore brands that are just as good if not better. Here are a few of my holy grail Milani Cosmetic products I’m sharing with you.

Milani Cosmetics PREP + SET + GO Transparent Face Powder: I love this powder so much, I’ve hit pan! That rarely happens because I usually jump from product to product, but this powder is one of my favorites. Although, some say this is a great facsimile for Laura Mercier’s loose powder, having never used it I can’t attest to that. However, I can tell you this product for me is great for setting my makeup and I love the look of it. I have dry skin, so it doesn’t seem to settle in any lines and it blurs the pores well. I haven’t used this product as a primer, but that brings me to the next Milani product.
Milani Cosmetics Prime Perfection, Hydrating + Pore Minimizing Face Primer: I am always looking for a primer that has pore minimizing properties as well as something hydrating and this one does the job. I will reach for hydrating primers whenever I use full coverage or matte foundations.
Milani Color Statement Lipsticks: I have spoken about these before in one of my monthly favorites post. I absolutely love these lipsticks. I have several colors and honestly, probably one of the best ones I’ve ever tried from a drugstore brand. It’s moisturizing, I love the formula and it’s comfortable to wear. The best part is the color lasts a long time. My favorite shade right now is still Dulce Carmelo.
Milani Keep It Full Nourishing Lip Plumper: Another favorite! These will not only give you a nice sheer glossy lip, but it’s not sticky and has great colors to choose from. On the plus side, you get a nice plumping affect to your lips and only a light tingly feeling on your lips.
Milani Stay Put Waterproof Eye Liner: I have a few of these as well, but my favorite shade is the Keep On Sapphire. It’s such a vibrant pop of color and I always get so many compliments when I wear it. It glides on the waterline, stays put and never irritates my eyes.
Milani Baked Blush – Luminoso: If you ever catch any YouTube beauty influencers, you will see this is a cult favorite and it’s one of mine. I love the way it makes you look fresh and healthy. It’s a nice peachy color and one I reach for consistently. These are also beautiful colors as well, Dolce Pink, and Bella Bellini.
Milani Conceal + Perfect 2 – in – 1 Foundation + Concealer: I love this foundation. I use two different shades depending on the time of the year, but this really gives you a nice full coverage. I tend to use this foundation when I have a special occasion because it really does provide me with a flawless finish. It covers redness, and really evens out my skin. If you need a good full coverage foundation, I would give this one a try.
As you can tell, I am a true fan of Milani Cosmetic products. There are a few more that I am itching to try but with my beauty goal in place, I’m doing my best to hold back… for now. What drugstore products are your holy grails? I would love to hear all about them.
Hi Joann, I have never tried any Milani products before. I thank you for
trying them and giving such great information now I have to try them
especially the primer I can never seem to find a good one. Also would like to try
the transparent face powder that sounds like something I could diffinitly
use. So thank you again for trying & giving such great info. I look forwarded to hearing about more different products.
Love,
Aunt Chris

So my first comment !! One of many. I love to comment. Haha. I am in processing of trying. Milani. I love all makeup. Unfortunately, I’m 57 and well, luxury for women is NOT affordable. But I feel you can get good buys affordable.
Hi Louise,
Thank you so much for commenting, and yes, comment as often as you like. I don’t have the budget for luxury products either, so Milani products work great for me. I think you will like them. Let me know what you think.
