*Gilded Mini Eyeshadow Palette
110 Whiskey Business and 140 The Wine Down

I've had a few of full size Gilded palettes and I've always been impressed by Milani's eyeshadow quality. I got two of these smaller ones, the matte brown Whiskey Business and the pinky-plum The Wine Down, which is a mix of mattes and shimmers.

Matte eyeshadows in both palettes have a good colour payoff, they feel creamy and they blend well, creating smooth transitions. Exception is the pinky-mauve shade in Wine Down, which lacks pigmentation compared to others. The shimmer shades in the burgundy palette Wine Down are best applied with fingers, as using a brush doesn't pick it up best. Using fingers gives an intense colour pay-off and a good level of shine. Eyeshadows in general tend to last well on me and this is no exception. I get no creasing, but both of these have some fall down during application.  

Whiskey Business

Whiskey Business is a combination of six matte shades, mostly warm brown, but some are neutral. I thought I'll find it boring, but I prefer it to Wine Down because you can create a nice natural "sculpted" look with smooth transitions as all shades blend so well one into another.


The Wine Down

The Wine Down is a more classic combination of mattes (3) with shimmers (3) and allows more versatility than Whiskey palette. The third matte light mauve-pink shade is the poorest performer in the bunch, but the rest are good.
 

I already have a full review of this concealer which I have in a shade 110 Nude Ivory, while I got sent two deeper shades this time 120 Light Vanilla and 130 Light Beige. 110 is a great match for me.


Conceal + Perfect concealer is a medium-high coverage formula with a satin matte finish. Under my eyes it has a tendency to look dry and obvious on my dry skin, so I like to use thin coats of it to make it look more natural. I occasionally wear it for a non-makeup makeup look, mostly in the summer so it's over a coat of SPF and it looks ok when I spread small amounts over the whole face. But it is matte, which doesn't look fresh on my skin. It covers a lot and it's one of my most covering concealers in the makeup drawer. It creases under my eyes, but I find it's best to wait for it to set, then blend the creases away with fingers, rather than powder over the concealer straight away, as that makes it even more obvious and too dry on my skin. But if your skin isn't dry, this is exactly the type of concealer that are most popular - high coverage in a liquid form and matte on the skin. Think something like Shape Tape, but not as thick.


*Cheek Kiss Cream Blush
110 Nude Kiss

Milani's powder blushes have been popular for years and these creamy ones are again great ones. Formula is so lightweight and creamy. You get enough colour on the finger of brush easily and the formula doesn't feel greasy. Formula is described as a cheek and lip balm-to-gel cream formula. It's very blendable and I get diffused edges at application with both fingers or a brush.


Shade 110 Nude Kiss is a peachy pink on my cheeks, though it looks more muddy pink in the pan, but on the skin it looks more vibrant. It's so pigmented, I only need a small amount on my pale skin. Finish looks natural. There are four shades of these at the moment. 


Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
130 Spicy Season

There are four shades of these bronzers and I got one of the darkest shades, while two exist which are significantly lighter. Spicy Season swatches scary deep, but due to a very blendable, buildable formula, it's quite a forgiving colour and it didn't look that odd on my pale cheeks. However, it is a very warm shade, so it pulls a bit orange on me. It's a colour more suited for warmer, deeper skin tones than mine. Formula melts into the skin and has a natural finish. 


*Color Statement Lipliner
04 All Natural

I got a shade 09 Spice years back, so I already reviewed this formula. It's a creamy pencil with good pigmentation that glides easily on the lips.


09 Spice is a deep caramel shade that I wasn't a fan off, so I wanted shade 05 Nude (light natural pink) which I never got, but I didn't take notice of 04 All Natural, though it's the same depth as 05 Nude, just more beige. All Natural is an accurate name, as this looks very close to my natural lip colour, it's just less pink.


*Fruit Fetish Lip Oil
 110 Passion Fruit Coconut, 130 Raspberry Peach and 160 Lychee Nectar

I also already have a review of this formula, as I have Raspberry Peach (candy berry scent) and Passion Fruit Coconut (warm, tropical scent) versions, so the new shade this time is Lychee Nectar. I use Passion Fruit Coconut often because of the nice scent and these lip oils are great for dry lips, because they last well. The formula is not as impressively glossy as Catrice's Glossin' Glow, nor long lasting as A'Pieu Honey & Milk Lip Oil, but that fact it's scented is a plus to me.

While Passion Fruit and Raspberry look clear on the lips, the Lychee Nectar has more pigment. It's a muted medium-deep rosy shade that adds a subtle tint to the lips.

*PR products. Unpaid review.
