Milani Blush- Tea Rose Review

Milani Blush in Tea Rose 

Having been given a amazon voucher I decided it was time I tried some brands that are not currently sold in  the UK, one of these brands was Milani. I had heard great things about their blushes from various Makeupalley reviews and videos online and so I decided to try them out. Tea Rose was the only colour I saw online that really appealed to me and I was wary that the colour may not be exactly the same as in the photograph. The delivery was very quick ( despite having to pay an absolute fortune in postage) and I was very excited when the box arrived.

The packaging of the blush is really lovely looking and although it is a clear plastic lid with a gold plastic base, the weight of it does make it feel very high quality. I also like that the Milani logo isn't too intrusive as sometimes it can be slightly annoying if you cant see the colour of the product as loads of writing is slapped across it. The colour which is a muted slightly dusty pink with a matte finish did look very similar to the picture so I was immensely pleased. I love the style of the rose shape as in my makeup box it's very eye catching and I find myself often drawn to it because it looks simple but pretty. 

In terms of how it wears, I love it! When I swatched it first on my hand I was a little unsure as it didn't give off a huge amount of pigmentation, however on the cheeks with an angled blush brush I love it. It blends really beautifully and is very buildable. Personally as I am very fair skinned I tend to use a very light hand with my blush and it just gave a really lovely glow and I had many complements throughout the day from people saying it looked very pretty and elegant, which it does! I think that it would also work on darker skin tones if used with a slightly heavier hand  and just building up to the coverage that is preferent to the individual. One thing I will is that the smell is a little chemically/ plastically and sort of unpleasant but I tend not to be a big fan of sniffing my blush products and when it is on the skin I didn't notice the smell. 

I would give this blush a 8/10, I thought it looked really pretty and natural, it didn't break me out as far as I know and blended very well. For me the only things that put a downer on how much I liked it was the fact that Amazon charged me almost three times as much in postage but that was not the blush's fault so I guess we can forgive it ;)
