What is your FAVORITE Milani product and what is the worst? 💖
Milani eyeshadow primer is the best!
i love your vids
All of the blushes are so good!!
I love there lipsticks 💄 but I didn’t like the milani eyeshadow palette in call me old fashioned. That shade u were saying how it wasn’t good that’s the same experience I was going through I later on gave it away. Super disappointing in that shade and that’s the one I was excited for it. Lol 😂
I live 20 minutes from Mickey Mouse and with the heat and humidity, setting spray is a must. The Make It Last setting spray is my absolute favorite must always have product from Milani.
Jess Can we get a brush video? With your best of's for each product? You mention them now and then, but a whole video of your favorite brushes would be fun and informative. Thanks for the content!
i second this i need help with brushes
Thirded! I just bought a brush set from Amazon but haven't tried it yet!
Yes!
YES! we need a brush video!
jess, i can’t thank you enough for making your videos feel just like having a conversation with a friend. and how much drugstore content you create. you really don’t discriminate between high end and more affordable makeup and i appreciate that greatly ❤
The eye shadow primer was a game changer for me. I used to be able to just use concealer as a primer when I was younger, but as I got older (only 25 lol) my eye shadow would crease. After I started using the milani primer my eye shadow looks sooo much better.
The original formula matte lipsticks from Milani actually smell like vanilla, but it’s not overpowering at all. The OG Matte Naked shade that everyone loved is that formula and smells amazing! I don’t know why they can’t just use the same scent for their crème line too! 🤷🏻♀️
Re: the blush shades - Milani has historically been for women of color, so their shades are appropriate and beautiful! ❤
I love the Milani tubing mascara. Works so well for me and comes off so nicely.
Agree! I’ve never had a problem with it.
Same
I’m so glad I saw your comment! I’ve been wondering about this and can’t wait to try it soon!
Which one is the tubing mascara ?
@@lidiakuhn6505 the one with the blue/green packaging, that says “highly rated tubing mascara”
I love Milani’s rose butter lip mask! I will wear it all the time. I will keep one in my desk drawer at work and it’s better than the high end brands sorry laneige. ❤
For ulta’s 21 days of beauty sale, I got the Mac glow play blush in so natural and of course added that real techniques brush to the order. You did not steer us wrong ❤❤❤❤
I came close to getting one of those blushes, but I had already gotten one of the Persona stick ones. I did get that brush though. I like it.
The Milani conceal + perfect blur out powder is my favorite drugstore loose setting powder. The formula is so light and airy, but blurring at the same time, it’s magical. The packaging is so nice, as well, because there is a resealable plastic cover over the mesh dispenser to prevent spillage and powder bomb blowouts.
This was a great review of Milani products. I love all of their powder blushes and the setting spray. I've never found the correct shade of the the Conceal and Perfect Foundation; returned it twice. Have a great day!
Oh my goodness, we agree hard core with the rose powder blushes. I literally owned two blush colors and it was in that formula. Loved then until they were too old to use. Yes! And then we're so opposite. I despise the fruit fetish oil, it ruined my lips and dried them out (to be fair a lot of lip products people rave about I can't use). And I freaking love the highly rated mascara. I have extenely fine lashes and it works beautifully for me. And this is why everyone says make up is personal lol. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! I thought I was the only one with the melon smelling lipstick nausea. I love their colors but just can't get past that smell. I agree the romantic rose blush is really pretty. It's my favorite Milani product.
It’s nasty! Why do brands ruin lip products with nasty fragrance?
Ok the highly rated mascara is a learning curve, but with a light hand, I love it. It’s an affordable tubing mascara and there’s not a lot of options!
LOVE WHEN YOU DO THESE!
The Milani baked blush formula HAS changed!! Holy patchy.
I thought maybe my skin had changed. Berry Amore was my go to and I just decluttered 😢
My fave product is the silky matte bronzer.
I love the scent of the Milani lipsticks in the gold tubes. Great formula too!
My favorite is the can't stop won't stop foundation. Love that stuff!
Thank you for doing this video!❤❤
I love the eye primer and the rose shaped blush!😊
I’m obsessed with the milani tubing mascara. I use it over a thin coat of waterproof mascara to hold my curl and the combo is chef’s kiss 💋
I use the foundation, baked bronzer, baked blush, and baked highlighter every single day I personally love their complexion products. They extended the foundation shade range online and they have my perfect match 0A2 cream. I love it. Now I need to try the powder! Currently using the Maybelline fit me loose! Love you 💕💕
Ive been watching you for a looooong time! And I just wanna say I love your over explaining 😂 it speaks to me! Never change :)
My first purchase from Milani was the Highly Rated Tubing mascara - I like it :) The mascara dries quickly, doesn't flake or smudge at least for me it doesn't. I have bought my second tube of this mascara - I'm happy with it :) Take care everyone 🌹
I love it too
I love their cleansing balm!
I started wearing that blush because of you YEARS ago!!!
I would love a video solely about eyeliners that you can put in your upper waterline that don't blink down!
Clicked so fast! Saw the notification and didn’t hesitate lol love your videos
Love the silkly matt bronzer by milani but the real techniques brush is the best blush brush I have ever used. I own three! 😂
Agree with you on everything especially the luminoso blush it’s changed
Yep my go to setting spray is the make it last by Milani!! I love it!! I also love wetting my brush with it to apply shimmers on my eyes.. just my fav and of course the lipsticks
Wow! Best birthday gift is a Milani video. Thank you!!! Love you, Jess and Milani is one of my favorite brands! 🙌😁❤️
Love the Make It Last Setting Spray!!! Great video! Thank you ❤
My Milani favs are definitely the liquid contour in honey, the under eye brightener in the same packaging in rose, the rose butter lip mask, the spf bff primer, the orange glowy primer (same packaging as spf bff), fruit fetish lip gloss, lip fetish lipstick in peony & the make it last setting spray. I now want to try that powder blush you love and the more subtle highlighter too❤
My favorites are those newer lipsticks and their bronzer! That bronzer is perfect with light skin people.I really liked their pigmented lip gloss, I don't think they sell anymore. Also that baked blush in Romantica was a great topper. Also discontinued. I agree about that foundation. Didn't have a good color range for very light skinned people and it turned orange. And it started smelling bad. Sometimes I'll hang on to a color that's too dark for me and mix it with something else in the summer but it didn't even last a few months to make it to summer. Into the trash it went.🚮💸💸
that Milani blush you favor is gorgeous on you, I see why you love it!
Yay you listened to our video request. I know a lot of people including me requested you record a milani best & worst video. I agree I just bought the lipstick in petal a week ago and it is fantastic. I will have to try the lip balm and lip scrub. Thank you for the recommendations. I love lip products. I also bought the eye primer. It works pretty well too.
i like how you review products. You mention why you like or dont like an item. TFS
The lightest shade of Milani liquid blush is pink flirt! It’s soo sheer too in the small amount I use so the color barely matters in my experience. I love the finish so much just wish it lasted longer. I’m totally buying the shade rose romance next when sheered out on my fair skin it looks like a realistic sunburn 😍 also gonna try half caked liquid blush, moira, A’pieu juicy pang, and Juvias place
Didn't even realize there was such a thing as decaf expresso! Looking beautiful as always Jessica! 😍
Its like you read my mind - just the other day I thought to myself why no one on UA-cam ever mentions Milani lip mask ?!! Its SO good! & their setting spray ,blushes &eyeshadow primer(Emily Noel) but still wanna try the tubing mascara bc a lot of ppl love it. Makeup working so differently for everyone is why being able to return is so important .
Love this style of video. Would love to see this style of video featuring other drugstore brands.
Recently discovered Milani Cream Blush….simply stunned at how much I love them. I own three shades and have a similar skin tone as you. They look so flawless….don’t be afraid of the darker shades….they sheer out! Also….I use the IT Cosmetics blush brush! Gorgeous ❤😊
OMG did anyone else watch the Netflix Johnny Depp Trial Documentary and see how Milani got wrapped up into their drama ?? And I agree, that Thrive tubing mascara dupe was awful, I threw it away!
The color fetish matte lipsticks are soo good!
“This… will give you 3 lashes” 🤣 that genuinely tickled my funny bone & don’t know why😂🙌🏻
I’m with you on that Melani tubing mascara, it was so wet and like you mentioned gave me 3 lashes.
My fave foundation for mature skin is loreal age perfect serum foundation(in the tube) it is.... phenomenal. Never clings to dry patches, lasts 8 hrs of sweating while working, powder doesn't cake it up. I hope they never ever discontinue it. Milani lip in naturally chic is so pretty
Make the brush' video! 💜💜💜
So autumn vibe you have lately! 😍
And yes, they definitely should hire you to think names, you are so good in that and also in describing products! 😀
I actually love Milani’s tubing mascara…I feel like you just have to use it more because I use to love the anti-gravity one but I started using the highly rated more and now it’s my fav 🙈 The original setting spray is another fav, works soooo well and is already pretty dewy so I agree that the dewy version would be too much. I got the lip oil in strawberry melon because of you. It was one of my first lip oils and is now still one of my favs. Love the way it feels and the large doe foot. Love the eyeshadow primer. I agree that their baked blush is just alright now. It was one of my first ever blushes that I tried tho. Would love to try the rose blush, contour, and lip mask after this video. Worst product I’ve tried I think is their concealer. I even returned it.
My favorite Milani product is the green goddess face oil. I have eczema on my face and it helps the redness so much.
I love the Strobelight highlighter. I’ve been using it for years.
I haven't tried much from this brand, but now I'm intrigued
Would love a brush recommendation for each product upload that would be so helpful.
I need that strobe powder and highlight immediately
The BFF primer with spf has been my go to for almost 2 years. I even wear it on the days I wear no makeup.
Missed you Jessica ❤❤
Please do a video showing what brush works best for which product. That would be so helpful. My favorite Milani product is the Rose powder blush in Romantic Rose and my least favorite is the Stay Put liquid lip.
❤ your channel
Let not your heart be troubled, Jessica, there's less caffeine in espresso than in regular, and waaay less than cold brew! ☕ Cheers and blessings! 💕
Love Milani glosses❤ eyeshadows end up looking like the same color like you noted.
I love your sense of humor 🥰🤣
Favorite products from Milani are:
Milani Conceal and perfect - translucent powder
Baked highlighter - Dolce perla
Conceal and perfect liquid contour - 3 Toffee
Color Fetish Balm lipstick - excellent color payoff
Milani eye shadow primer
Milani cheek kisss cream blush - 120 Coral Blush
Least favorites:
Gilded eye show palletes
Milani Gilded eyeshadow sticks - mines came broken from the actual shadow stick.
Milani Cheek kiss liquid blush
besides their eye primer, that is the best of all time, i can't live without their Stay Put 17h Liquid Eyeliner. in fact the combo of those two products is my go to for wearing a wing liner.
and my go to fav lipstick is the color Passion from the color fetish matte line.
I think you're right with Luminoso. I feel it has become a little more shimmery. Not sure if its supposed to look more 'dewy' or resemble Nars Org*sm more, but I liked it a little more before. I noticed the change when they came out with the Luminoso palette. Fave products are the Color Fetish matte lipsticks - all of them!
My absolutely favorite thing from Milani is their aqua bloom water cream!. Best ever but not for their price. I got mine on clearance for 5.00 - 8.00. It shouldn't be more than 15.00. My daughter loves the cleansing balm in their green container.
My favorite Milani product is their baked blushes in Petal Primavera and I love their flavored lip oil. Also love their setting spray. ❤
I'm going to have to check that one out. I have Luminoso, Dulce Pink, and Cherry on Top. I also like the rose powder ones, just not the Romantic Rose shade.
Best Milani product is their eyeshadow primer!!! Idk what’s in it but it’s magic!
The Milani rose powder blushes are my favorite from Milani! I have romantic rose and tea rose but romantic rose I wear almost every single day! And the worst I've tried from them has to be the conceal & perfect foundation and concealer and also the glow hydrating skin tint omg that was the worst!!!
Love these videos!! Can't wait to see more!
The first blush I purchased when I got serious about makeup 5 years ago was Tea Rose. I still love it. I've got several Milani blushes now, but Romantic Rose sucked for me. I have fair skin and it barely showed up.
Living vicariously threw your video
I really loved their route not the skinny one. It’s a little bit shaped like a rectangle. It’s so soft colors. Perfect. I can’t find anything else. In the drugstore that work as well as their row product. It’s kind of angle you should look for it sometimes it’s hard to fine, but whenever I see it, I buy it.
Milani Highly Rated mascara. It's in a black tube with gold stars on it. It was a sample and it's pretty darn good. Also precision brow, love it color 140 is a perfect medium brown. Blondes can definitely wear this. It's not too dark, not too light.
@itsjessicabraun I had the same experience the first time I used the Milani tubing mascara. Then I saw Jen Phelps suggest wiping the brush to remove excess product, and that worked! Now I love it.
Lipsticks that I like that are pretty- Secret, Peony, and Pleasure! Also, the Fruit Fetish in Dragon Fruit Peach. Yum!
Fun fact, the longer you bake a coffee bean, the more caffeine it has. So decaffeinated will be stronger because the bean is not baked. The more you bake, the more caffeine is released, so contrary to popular belief, the lighter the roast, the higher the caffeine content. Learned that from working at Starbucks back in the day. My favorite Milani product is by far the setting spray! ❤
I'm pretty sure it's backwards. The less you roast, the more caffeine it has. Light roast is less bake time and more caffeine. Dark roast is baked longer and they have the least amount of caffeine.
Such fun video, I absolutely love their liquid contour, it’s amazing ❤❤
@@jenniferalexis I believe you are correct, sorry about that! Must have misremembered! Or misunderstood the first time it was explained to me 🤣
@@jenniferalexis It’s really nice to see someone correcting something another person said without insults or being rude! Simply letting the person know they might be misinformed and that’s it, nothing personal, no drama. I just wanted to point out how nice that was to see!
@@jenniferalexisYou’re right!
I love the watermelon smell in the old Milani lipsticks (gold tube). I think it smells like watermelon Jolly Ranchers😋
SO glad you mentioned the tubing mascara. I was an absolute no from me. no matter what I did - ended up was mascara all over my lids.
Ok I don’t know for sure buts their setting and finishing powder. Omg I LOVE IT. When you open it up you lift a sold piece and underneath is hiding a Mesh Net that controls the ANOUT coming out and for ME IT WORKS. I’d been wanting to try Laura Mersea blur powder. I just knew they’d have the netting to but ya no. So me being me I took the Laura blur and took the hard plastic ting off and put about half full. No mess no stress lol
Let me tell you, the pro foundation brush from Sephora, is the best. I haven't tried with powder bronzer, but I will 😉
Thank you for another amazing video ❤
Hi Jess🙂im liking the make it last ss+new loose powder(sparkly)+tube mascara(on occasion)+eye primer+brow pomade(w/brush perfect)❤
Thanks for the information.
Hated the foundation and love that romantic rose blush ❤
I was gonna say: have you ever tried the Flower Beauty brushes? So lovely and they don’t cost the earth and don’t fall apart when cleaning. I keep expecting mine to fall apart as I was after every use.
Milani eyeshadow palette gilded gold 🎉 it's my favourite eyeshadow palette of all time. The best colours and very comfortable thin formula. My dream palette 😍🤩
I think Milani as a brand was ahead of the curve 10 years ago. So now the same products won't compete in the same realm as they would last decade. Luckily they're staying ahead with their new releases so they still have some winners. They need to reformulate their winning horses of the last decade and they'll be just fine.
Thank you for an interesting and informative video 😊😊😊
Not a Milani product, but your product review on the Tower 28 Cream Blush got me hooked on cream blushes overall. I have since tried the Milani Cheek Kiss blush you mentioned here in Nude Kiss, and I may love that even better! And, girl...I will still pull out a Dulce Caramelo every now and again. That melon smell makes me think of summertime, and sunshine!
Oh, and I still have a 12 pan all all matte nude shade eyeshadow (the one with the gold lid). I've never hit pan on more shades in one palette in my life.
I liked the eyeshadow primer but I’m out so I’m ordering again. I’m going to try the lipstick balm and the blush you said needed new colors. Also that honey bronzer.
Totally agree on the silky matte bronzer in 01 - great for light skin. And the luminosity blush was a total disappointment for me. I tried it out of pure curiosity and found it too orange and shimmery.
Their brow pomade is awesome. Id say a spot on dupe for dipbrow all the way down to the brush it comes with dupes abh #12
The Rose primer! Ugh it's so good, blurring and moisturizing! It's my favorite!! My least favorite is the foundation, way too makeupy!
My favorite product from Milani is the Keep it Full lip gloss. They used to have a shade called Rosewood that was the most beautiful brownie nude, and I’m pretty sure they don’t make it anymore. 😭 But the formula is so nice. I’ve been on the hunt for a new gloss that shade, but nothing else compares. :(
I just ordered a pink one from amazon and rosewood is listed. I own rosewood and love it! My fav lipgloss....sooo hydrating for cold dry canadian winters.
I am so glad I watched this review yesterday as I recently purchased the "Highly Rated"mascara. I thought I would try it out as I had purchased it for my next holiday and didn't want any unpleasant surprises. What a disaster!!!! The mascara was quite thin and did very little for my lashes, so that was my first disappointment. On returning from a shopping trip, my husband took one look at me and laughed, not what I was expecting. He then pointed out that I had lots of black dashes just below my eyebrows and I was mortified to think I had been shopping looking like I was out for a laugh. Needless to say, "Highly Rated " will now go in the bin. I need to be more careful when searching on line for tubular mascaras. I wish Revlon would bring back theirs. So thank you Jess for saving me from a holiday embarrassment.
Jessica just wanted to tell you that I love love love your channel and wait for your videos specially your vlogs, love the energy and positivity which radiates through your personality ❤
The Make it Last matte spray and the eye primer are my favorites. I like the matte color fetishized lipstick I have but it hardly lasts at all. After an hour I have to reapply!
Love the Milani mascara! Makes my lashes so long and gives me so many! People comment on it.
My favorite Milani product is Most Loved Mattes shadow palette, worst ummmmm I can't think of one lol. Have to share, I had some Ulta cash so I bought a bunch of Essence products, OMG everything is a 5 star rating for me. I think you were the one that recommended most of the things I bought so thank you!
Milani is one of my favorite brands -- high end or drugstore! My absolute favorites: antigravity mascara, setting spray, bronzer, eyeshadow primer, cheek gel blush, the new loose powder, and the conceal and perfect concealer. I did not care for the tubing mascara.
That mascara u hate is my drugstore holy grail. It's awesome for my fine lashes. Love the bronzer and setting spray as well. Have a tube of that lipstick with the groovy packaging. Their eye primer is the best! Decluttered my Luminoso. Haven't tried a ton of others. Thanks for giving us info on all of these. May try a few. ❤❤
You are so beautiful inside and out, Jess! Been loving your videos for years and you inspire me! Blessings to you and your family ❤️
Try the Milani cheek kiss in coral crush! Love love it.
