Milani Baked Bronzer in "Golden".

Hey my makeup junkies,

I have another review for everyone today. Now that we are in June, and the official start of summer is around the corner. I thought I should get a really nice bronzer to kick off the summer months. So I made my way to my local drugstore and picked up a bronzer from a cosmetics company called Milani. Today I will be doing a review of the Milani Baked Bronzer in "Golden".

Here is what the "Golden" Bronzer looks like.

Here is the second compartment of the bronzer palette and the applicator brush.

Review:

For starters, I have to get what I am about to say off of my chest. This is one the cheapest packaged bronzer's I have ever used in my whole entire life! I have used Milani cosmetics before esp their eyeliner, but the packaging for this bronzer is terrible! Not to sound vain, its just the packaging alone is enough to make me not want to buy this ever again. The best part about the product is the brush that it comes with, and not even that is very useful. Secondly, the product itself is decent, but not great. Being a dark skin its a little difficult to find an inexpensive bronzer at a drugstore that will blend nicely with my complexion. All the bronzers for the Covergirl's "Queen Collection" were sold out so I had to make do with the Milani Baked Bronzer. The bronzer, does blend nicely with my complexion and gives me a nice healthy glow. The best part about this bronzer is that it can be applied wet or dry. However, their is a major downside for me, because I have sensitive skin this bronzer tends to make my skin feel a little irritated for some reason. Like some of the shimmer feels a bit harsh on my skin.

Pros:

• Can be applied wet or dry
• Decent pigmentation
• No fallout
• Can also be used as an eyeshadow

Cons:

• Packaging is cheap
• Makes my skin feel irritated if I apply to much
• When applied wet with the brush it comes with it leaves some minor streaking on the skin

Here's a swatch of what it looks like. As you can see it blends in well with my complexion so the swatch is very hard to show up.

For a more accurate swatch of what the "Golden" bronzer looks like I swatched it on the inside of my forearm, which is lighter than the rest of my body.

Final Verdict: I have mixed feelings with this bronzer. Its a nice shade and goes well with my complexion however, it irritates my skin to the point I have some minor breakouts. I say buy this product at your own risk. I say try it, and if it doesn't work for you then return or exchange it. I definatly will not be buying this bronzer again, and next time will invest in a better more expensive bronzer like Urban Decay or something.
