Milk MAKEUP

I doubt myself. I doubt my skills. I sometimes don’t think I’m beautiful. I find myself questioning if I’m feminine enough or intelligent enough. I break myself out of this by focusing who I am and who I am meant to be. I say my affirmations, pray to God for clarity and move on. I also do my makeup to cope with everything. It may not be as physical as yoga and not as thorough as therapy but it’s my own form of thereapy. With every stroke of the brush, I say to myself that I am beautiful. I am feminine. I am smart and no one can doubt my skills! I am enough. So are you! Makeup used: Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer FENTY BEAUTY - Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation L.A.

Guys, Gals and all non-binary pals I have found a dupe for the Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer The HARD CANDY - Hydrating Primer Hydrating Primer is a very comparable dupe for the hydrogrip primer. Although not as tacky as the milk primer, the hard candy primer is a gel primer made with hyaluronic acid and agave just like the milk primer. Cool on application, this primer does have a gripping consistency to the milk primer however; I prefer this primer because it is not as gripping as the milk primer. For me, the milk primer was a little too tacky and I would find my makeup lifting as I applied it with a sponge or brush. My makeup does last pretty decently throughout the day, even while wearing a mask. You can get the hard candy hydrating primer at Walmart for $7. Milk hydrogrip is $30 at Sephora.

Basically me everyday wash routine morning and night is Step 1: Cleanse with average Hydrating cleanser (the one that doesn’t foam) *MAKE SURE YOURE CLEANSER YOUR SKN FOR 60 SECS LADIES/GENTS) We want all that dirt and debris off ur skin. Step 2: I used persa gel which is 10% benzoyl peroxide to fight acne. I use it morning and night, but make sure in the morning to really use a hydrating moisturizer since it can dry out the skin. Step 3: MOISTUREEEEEEEE with whatever works for your skin sometimes i use two moisturizers idk I’m weird like that 🤣🤣 Last but not least in the morning I use sunscreen ALWAYS WEAR YA SUNSCREEN LADIES/GENTS I can’t stress this enough BTW: your skincare routine does not have to include 30 different products, I’ll give you guys a break down if your new or just want some insight on a super easy and effective routine without spending 30 mins in the bathroom. But hey I understand the skincare routine is a form of relaxation sis I’m not mad at ya. Do ya thang ! I’m about to go steam my face rn brb 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Milk MAKEUP - Vegan Milk Moisturizer I just finished my mini milk makeup moisturizer that i got from marshalls for 4.99 instead of paying $18 or $15 at sephora First of all ive never finished entire product on my life lol im always curious to try another product if i dont like it but this one is great! This is a creamy THICC moisturizer that really nourishes your skin! I love it doesnt have fragrance but theres a lil bit scent idk if its because of the ingredients. Packaging is cool too!

In the past 2 years I’ve made my makeup much more minimal and natural (not to say I don’t go all out for special events though!). Here’s my go to products! PS: I buy most things in mini because they go bad before I’d even come close to finishing them in full size! Plus it’s more travel friendly. ⭐️Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek I have this in the color Werk. I LOVE IT, the color is great and it’s buildable. The reason for 4 stars is that I wish it was a little softer to blend and the smell is not great. TIP: Buy the mini versions! You’ll never get through a large one before it expires/goes bad. ⭐️Milk MAKEUP - Matte Bronzer I believe this comes in one color but it’s great for warming up the face a little. I apply it on my cheek bones, forehead, and sometimes my jawline/sides of nose. I often use this on my eyelids too for a monochromatic look. 4 stars for same reason as the one above. —Both of these products are easy to use and are super travel friendly. You just need your finger tips to apply! 💩Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara I wanted to love this but after 2 failed tries, I just can’t. I bought the full size version when it first came out but after applying/drying, small black flecks would fall off my lashes onto my face/eyes. Recently I got the mini version for redemption but I still run into the same issues as well as it reactivating and becoming wet due to condensation from my face mask. This guy is just a no go. ⭐️URBAN DECAY - Perversion Mascara My new favorite mascara is this one! It makes my lashes look great and I haven’t had any issues with it! Totally recommend and it builds up nicely in 2-3 coats without making lashes clumpy. ⭐️KVD VEGAN BEAUTY - KVD VEGAN BEAUTY Tattoo Liner No other liner can compare. The brush on this makes the cleanest lines and it lasts all day. My only issue is how shiny it dries down to, I just wish it was more matte! 💩ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Gel It’s too thick and easily becomes clumpy. It looks heavy on the brow hairs and has a chalky finish. For some reason it’s incredibly difficult to take off with makeup remover, I feel like I’m scrubbing my brows off. Stick to Anastasia’s other brow products and pass on this one. I’m considering Glossier’s boy brow. My brows are blondish and not thick so open to recommendations too 😂 These few products make for a quick and easy natural look! I’m still on he hunt for a brow product and highlighter though! Would love to hear anyone else’s natural look favorites!

FENTY BEAUTY - Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer I finally gave in and decided to try this bronzer from Fenty Beauty (only after my ride or die Milk MAKEUP - Matte Bronzer started to cause breakouts 😭) The first couple times I tried this, I found it to be stiff and not the easiest to blend out. I prefer to use a brush rather than a sponge to blend and my trick for easier application is to warm the product up either by lightly swirling your fingers over the pan or -this sounds weird but works- using your blow dryer for a few seconds to warm it up! Then I use a brush to work it in. It’s very natural and works great on minimal makeup days but it can also be built up!! Because my skin tone is light, I prefer the more neutral tone of the Fenty, bronzer over the warmer tone of the MILK bronzer, but I would say the MILK formulation is a bit easier to work with overall!

2020 is coming to a close. I think we are all very hopeful for a better 2021. 2020 has been challenging year. But, as hard as it has been for me having a newborn & a toddler at home during two lockdowns now (Ontario is officially locked down today again), it has also given me LOTS of time with my kids, a HUGE appreciation for stay at home moms, and appreciating all the things I took for granted like seeing friends & family at Christmas. Here’s my @cherie2020 Top 5 1. Product My favourite has been SUNDAY RILEY - Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment I received it in a sample bag from Sephora and was blown away by the results. It’s a 7 % lactic acid treatment in a milky serum consistency. It also contains licorice root extract. You really can notice it smooth & brighten your skin in 3 minutes! I haven’t bought the full size yet. It retails for $112 CAD for 1oz. But when my sample runs out I think this one is worth the money! (The sample is .25oz and I’ve been using it once a week for about 6 weeks and I might have one use left) 2. Trend Does Vitamin C count as a trend? I only started my skincare journey 6 months ago. I didn’t really know anything about skincare ingredients. Now I’ve bought two Vitamin C serums, an eye cream, and face wash! Vitamin C is powerful antioxidant that helps give you brighter, tighter, and overall more radiant looking skin. I definitely have noticed a difference since starting use to Vitamin C serums! VERSED - STROKE OF BRILLIANCE Brightening Serum SUNDAY RILEY - C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum(haven’t started using) OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Eye Crème OLE HENRIKSEN - Truth Juice Daily Cleanser 3. Best Look My best book would have to be my everyday 5 minute natural make-up look (see earlier post). Before I started my skincare journey in the summer, I was maybe washing my face in the shower and putting on lotion. Definitely no make-up. I looked tired and dull. Now I take care of my skin, so even without make-up I look brighter and I also take 5 minutes to put on a little make-up, even if it is just to walk the kids to the park and it makes me feel a lot better about my appearance. CLINIQUE - Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator Broad Spectrum SPF 25 SEPHORA COLLECTION - Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek CLINIQUE - High Impact Lash Elevating Mascara CLINIQUE - Just Browsing Brush-on Styling Mousse 4. Favourite Creator on Cherie I might be biased because I won a great giveaway from her, but I really love following @JadesJourney I really enjoy her intersection between skincare and wellness. Check her out! 5. Something I learned The biggest thing I learned this year is not only can I find the time everyday to take care of my skin but that I look forward to it! Happy New Year!

Plum/pink vibes on this beautiful Thanksgiving day! Since my in-laws are still out and about, and I have to be in quarantine because of my chronic illness, I have my trusty cat face mask to keep me safe. That doesn’t mean I have to skimp on the eye looks 👀 Quick eye breakdown: “Forehead Kisses” all over the lid. Then I added “Messy Hair” in the crease and outer corner and blended it out a ton. Then I used a wet smudging brush and used both “Messy Hair” and “Yawning” as a thick, smoky liner. I added that to the bottom lashline as well. Finally, I threw a little bit of the Balm cosmetics - Will Powder Blush Quad on the brow bone and in my inner corners. This is one of my favorites so far 😍 Stay healthy and happy, my beauties! XOXO, Kam

Hey, just because I’m still under quarantine doesn’t mean I can’t play around with some of my favorite products. Let’s talk about what I have on: For my base, I used the usual bareMinerals - Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 which is tried and true. I luckily don’t need much coverage, and this gives me the perfect dewy look without looking caked on. bareMinerals - BARESKIN Complete Coverage Serum Concealer is still my favorite concealer right now. It provides great coverage without drying me out or settling into my fine lines. I skipped brow powder today and just used Milk MAKEUP - KUSH Fiber Brow Gel which I am OBSESSED with. I’m going to do a more in-depth review of this in the near future, but this product reminds me of Benefit’s Gimme Brow. It gives the brows a really nice tint to fill out those sparse spots and really holds everything in place all day long. I have thick, long brow hairs, so it’s perfect for me. If you’re on the fence about it, hop off and get it already! Onto the eyes! Today, I played with one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes, the CLINIQUE - All About Eyeshadow Palette . I absolutely love this neutral palette because it has a great range of colors, and they are easy to blend and build up. I used one of the darker shades as a smoky liner. It also comes with a really nice double-ended shadow brush and mirror, so it’s perfect for travel. I’m still using and loving the Milk MAKEUP - Kush Waterproof Mascara . That length and volume are fantastic. The brush is classic in its design, and the bristles are soft, so it’s very easy to apply and work with, especially in the corners and on the bottom lashes. On the cheeks, we’ve got the trèStiQue - Blush Stick in “Moroccan Rose” and trèStiQue - Highlight & Perfect Multipurpose Stick in “Maldives Luminescent.” The blush is a cream crayon, and I’d call the color a matte coral pink. A little goes a long way, and it’s buildable which is great. I like using my fingers to apply it. The highlight is also a cream crayon, and the color is a champagne tone which works with most skin tones. It’s gorgeous, and it makes it look like you’re glowing from within as opposed to just having glitter on your cheeks. Loving it so far! Finally, I finished this look off with bareMinerals - Moxie Plumping Lip Gloss in the shade “Daredevil” which is a plummy pink tone. It has a bit of a sparkle to it, and it also has that slight plumping peppermint tingle; it’s not overpowering which is just how I like it. Overall, I am digging this look, even if you and my husband are the only ones who are seeing it. Happy almost Thanksgiving! 💕

Do you like your moisturizer thick? If so, you’ll love this vegan beauty by Milk Makeup. I’ve sampled this twice now, able to use it for up to two weeks. Although I typically like to use a product for a good four weeks, I feel I am able to give an adequate review. As I stated, Milk MAKEUP - Vegan Milk Moisturizer is THICK! It’s recommended for normal to dry skin and has a 4.5 ⭐️ review on Sephora as well as good reviews on various social media platforms. One of my favorites about this cream is it is fragrance free!!! 👏 I HAVE NORMAL TO DRY SKIN. LEANING MORE TO DRY AND A BIT SENSITIVE THIS WINTER ❄️ I found I needed about a thumbnail size to cover my face and it spread and sank into my skin quite easily. I did not find it to leave any residue at all. I do believe if you have oily skin this one is going to be a bit too much for you and you will not like the texture or feeling on your skin. My face felt completely hydrated immediately after using. Hours later, my skin still felt nourished! For me this would definitely be a moisturizer I would purchase. It’s a great option during the winter months or I could use it in the summer as a moisturizing sleeping mask. I only took one ⭐️ away as it cannot be used by every skin type and if it is in a bottle as it is, I wish they had given a spoon or spatula as it is unhygienic to use your fingers to scoop out product. $38 for 1.7 oz ——- Do you use any Milk Makeup Products? I picked up the Milk MAKEUP - Day + Night Serum and Mask Face Set and I have a Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara and Milk MAKEUP - Vegan Milk Cleanser I LOVE the Milk Cleanser (a gift from Cherie) I’ve reviewed before and will do and updated review. I also need to do a review on all the others. I’m not a big fan of the skincare products besides the Cleanser and Moisturizer. I felt the others didn’t do much for me. I bit too gimeky and didn’t pack enough punch to see results. —— ❤️🍒

Hello Cherie Beauty Lovers! Today is the day that the truth is coming out! This Specific Cleanser by Milk Makeup is absolute horrid, and very terrible to say the least. The Vegan Milk Cleanser is by far the worst cleanser that has been tried on my skin. Coming from a Oily in summer/ Combination in Winter and Sensitive skin type. This very cleanser has made me dry like the Sahara Desert, not only that but it has given me red bumps every single time I have ever use this. I received this product in the Cherie box contest and I do appreciate Cherie company sending me this but this really isn’t suiting my skin and has not resulted in my favor. But PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD WORKED EARNED MONEY ON THIS CRAPPY PRODUCT.

Over the past couple years I’ve really wanted to try out milk makeup and I thought the brands aesthetic was so pretty/ minimal. It’s perfect for a quick on the go person or someone who wants to look glam. Hydro grip primer, this is really good. It has become of my fave ones to use. It provides a great base for my foundation or even for my bb cream. It’s feel kinda like gel but not thick. Spreads easily and has a slight tackiness, also leaves my skin moisturized. The only downside is the smell, it’s kinda like a plastic/agave scent mixed together. The scent does fade which is great so it doesn’t linger around. $30 for 1.52 oz and $15 for 0.33 oz Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer Kush mascara, this one is in my top 5 fave ones to use. The bristles coat my lashes nicely and make them appear thicker. Doesn’t have a strong scent. When I apply them to my bottom lashes they don’t smudge onto my skin. $24 for 0.34 oz/10 ml and $12 for 0.13 oz/4 ml Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara Tattoo stamp in star, it’s super cute! I’ve had this well over a year and it’s still pretty pigmented. I use this on my lids, cheeks and anywhere on my face to give me that cute vibe. It lasts all day and hasn’t smudged on me. $12 and they come in lots of designs. Milk MAKEUP - Tattoo Stamp Kush lip balm in plushberry, it’s a sheer berry color. Moisturizes my lips and gives them a super cute tint. I’m definitely more into sheer colors and glosses. It has a slight minty scent to it that I love. $16 for 3g Milk MAKEUP - Kush Lip Balm Kush clear brow gel, it sets my brows nicely but it isn’t a strong hold. It’s more of medium. Doesn’t have a distinct smell which is good. $20 which is pretty expensive. Milk MAKEUP - KUSH Clear Brow Gel Holographic stick in supernova, I really like this. It pretty creamy and I like applying this with my fingers. Looks super cute as an eyeshadow as well. It’s more of a duochrome. It has a purple/blueish shift. I wish it had a bit more pigment in it. Currently on sale at Sephora for $18 for the full size 1 oz/28 g. Mini size $15 for 0.25 oz/7.1 g Milk MAKEUP - Holographic Stick Watermelon brightening serum, this was ok. Wasn’t my favorite. It feels nice on the skin, kinda moisturizing but I didn’t see any brightening effect. $36 for 1.2 oz/ 34g and $18 for 0.22 oz/ 6.25 g. Personally not worth the money. Milk MAKEUP - Watermelon Brightening Serum Cooling water stick, same as the watermelon serum and this wasn’t my favorite. Yes it moisturized a little bit but I saw no difference in my skin. Too expensive to buy and not worth the money for me. If you have the money for an overpriced “serum” go ahead and get this but just save your money for something else. Milk MAKEUP - Cooling Water Blur stick definitely not worth it. Bunched up too much. Milk MAKEUP - Blur Stick

KUSH stash bag set products RANKED: Last place: Milk MAKEUP - Cooling Water I just don’t really feel like this stick is doing anything? I even put it in the fridge for extra cooling powers 🥶 and still 🤷‍♀️ Almost last: Milk MAKEUP - Cooling Water Eye Patches These are just OKAY 😐 they are slightly cooling and I do enjoy going about my morning business with some eye patches on like a fancy heiress 👸🏻 BUT no visible results in my experience Middle of the pack: Milk MAKEUP - Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Hydrating Face Mask Very easy to apply, glides on real smooth and nothing says “I’m serious about skincare” like a full face of GREEN 🐸 I feared it would be drying but it does deliver on hydration 💦 skin afterwards is overall plump and moist (ugh that word) Runner up (get the flower bouquet 💐): Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara Volume! No clumps! LOVE ❤️ the brush and now it’s one of my regular rotation mascaras. The price for the full size is a bit steep but PRO TIP 🤫 the mini is the perfect amount of product that you will actually use it ALL before it gets all dry and gross. WINNER (tiara time 👑): Milk MAKEUP - Kush Lip Balm I can’t say enough about this stuff. It’s SO SO SO hydrating. Not at all sticky or goopy, feels like it is healing your lips and lasts longer than any other lip balm I’ve tried. Even in CANADIAN 🍁 WINTER keep my lips lovely 👄

Beauty Bakerie - Breakfast in Bed Eyeshadow Palette cool toned. Love it! Better formulas out there but it’s not bad at all. Murad - AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser not sure how I like it yet so will update after using it more. Milk MAKEUP - Kush Waterproof Mascara very dry and doesn’t separate or lengthen well. Essence mascaras are better. VOLITION - Snow Mushroom Water Serum it’s not bad. Only have used it once so far. Doesn’t feel hydrating like serums from Pacifica but will keep using it to see in am how my base looks. bodyography - Eye Pencil not number one but not bad either. Not a “gliding” as urban decay but better than cheaper brands. I’m privy to my KVD VEGAN BEAUTY - Cake Pencil Eyeliner and MILANI - Stay Put Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil but always down to try a new brand. Last but not lease INT lip oil. I’m not into the wet lip look so gave it to my daughter who is a gloss freak and she’s in love. Not sticky but stays put for a good bit. Tastes good nice color. Minimum color but perfect for anyone really.
