Overall Thoughts:
The Milani Cosmetics Baked Blush collection has nine different shades available on their website. I decided on trying one of their more neutral shades before purchasing all 9 of them. It was like finding my favorite pair of heels. The baked blush in 05 - Luminoso is hands down my favorite drug store blush of all time. Luminoso is exactly what it is named: a luminous peachy pink that gives your cheek this warm sun-kissed glow. Although when you first look at it, you see this glittery shimmer that makes you doubt yourself for a second thinking whelp there go my pores but on the contrary it is very subtle and beautiful on the skin. Even though, Luminoso is a bit gritty in the pan which is due to the baked blush formulation it applies very smoothly and blends like a dream. You can definitely build up this blush but do be careful because it is very pigmented so start with a light hand. To date, I have also used this color as an eyeshadow because you know why not. The blush brush isn't great. It reminds me of what I used to use as a child. In the future, I hope Milani will redo the packaging and get rid of the second compartment where the brush is located making it a bit slimmer which would be great for travel. There is a slight powdery smell in the pan but it is not noticed when applied. I love that these blushes are affordable cause that means I can go forth and collect the other 8 blushes. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Lumioso lasted about 7.5 hours before it started to fade. I will admit this as time progressed the formulation looked more matte. Now on to address the Nars blush Orgasm dupe conspiracy. They are in the same color family but they are not an exact dupe. Like the saying in Thailand goes "Same, same but different". Orgasm is a pinky peach while Luminoso is a peachy pink. Now aren't you glad Crayola gave you red orange and orange red to be your first color mind-blowing lesson. A comparison picture will be posted soon so you can see for yourself.
