I lost internet for a few days, but I’m back! Now to talk about my new makeup obsession of the week. Can I talk about a new favorite company? Milani! It is a drugstore brand, but it reminds me so much of YSL its nuts. So far I have only been able to buy some of their baked blushes, (which are AMAZING!) but I also tried my friend’s lipstick she has from them. It was an exact dupe for the YSL Rouge Volupte. My wallet is thanking me already! I am so excited to try more from this company, but I want to hear your opinions! How do ya’ll like Milani? Ever tried it? Will you try it now? Let me know!!
Empties!!!
I have used up a good amount of products lately, and I feel like I am very opinionated on all of them. Do you know what that means?! I great empties post!
First on the table!
Lancome’s artliner in brown. I cannot tell you how much I loved this stuff. Easy to control, and a beautiful color. I will repurchase the product, as soon as I get that money from somewhere!
ELF liquid liner. I was so disappointed with this product. The applicator was flakey and falling apart as soon as I opened the tube. I could not apply the product easily with the brush falling apart on my skin! It also burned a little bit going on. Ugh!
Stila Stay-all-day Liquid LIner. I actually have gone through 7 of these beauties. It is my go to, holy grail liquid liner. Do I have to say more? It is perfect!!
Mascaras!
Loreal’s Voluminous Million Lashes. I got this from all the hype it was getting, and I was actually very disappointed. It’s not bad! But it also didn’t make a huge difference in my natural lash length, color, or thickness. Eh, won’t buy it again.
Two samples, Bobbi Brown perfectly defined mascara. I really enjoyed this mascara, but I probably won’t buy the full sized simply because of the price. I feel I can find the same quality in the fabulous drug store mascaras.
Lancome Cils Booster XL. I have so many samples of this primer. That is probably the only reason I haven’t bought it yet. Because I LOVE it! I really see a difference in my length especially, but also thickness.
Lips
Fresh’s Sugar Plum tinted lip treatment. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I already repurchased this sucker, and used about half of my new one. It makes my lips feel like velvet and it actually helps repair them too!
Moisturizers
Olay total effects 7 in 1. I honestly just used this to finish it up. Nothing special about it, but also nothing bad about it.
Philosophy’s Hope in a Jar. Great moisturizer, made my skin feel like butter! HOWEVER! The smell of the product was so chemically it makes me question whether or not to repurchase it! But I used that sucker up to the fullest. Not a dollop left in the whole jar.
Thanks for reading!

Hauless haul
Wednesdays are supposed to be for hauls, but I am very much broke and I have not been able to buy anything. I did however get the Olay fresh effects BB cream a few weeks ago! Quick review: really awesome smelling, but really light coverage. It feels great on my skin however, making me absolutely love it! Sadly, thats all I have to report on today! I’ll try to keep up my posts in NYC starting tomorrow with daily outfits! Sounds good? Yay!
Thanks for reading!
