I say elf for everyday wear because it give a more natural looking flush, and Milani for more glam looks, but it’s hard to pick an overall favorite. Both look good!
Ivory Cherry!! I love when you get up close. I always think my makeup looks horrible. But it looks normal. Social media makes ppl forget about real, textured skin.❤❤❤❤
I have been loving the Milani cream blushes. I’m surprised by how much I like Nude Kiss because I thought “Nude for who?…” but it gives me a natural everyday flush. I ended up picking up like 3 more lol ❤️❤️
i was on accutane for 6 months, 2 years ago and it helped my skin tremendously. my acne wasn’t very severe, but i’d tried an antibiotic and several creams already. I was especially concerned to try Accutane, but my dermatologist told me that it just has a bad reputation and in reality it’s the best treatment for acne. (he said it’s gotten super safe over these years) So I went on a lower dose, and I can definitely say it help me my skin recover and to this day I only get a few pimples sometimes and I definitely say it was really worth it. also I never really got any side effects from it besides a dry nose.
Great review Ivory! I actually loved the color of the elf blush more than the milani one but I think both colors suit you nicely. Very pretty 😊 Thanks for the thorough review!
I think they both seem fine. I don't own any ELF blush but I have a couple of the Milani's. They are both pretty on you! I would really love to see more story time videos from you. I really enjoy those!
Thank you! I had a storytime video I was gonna do but as I was writing it down to remember the events it got overwhelming so I put a pin in it but I definitely want to do more storytime videos because I enjoy them too!
Both of these blushes are gorgeous! I just saw that Elf is coming out with a putty bronzer, and I am so excited. You should try it and see how it works on oily skin 🙂
Awww Thank you! my hair is so unpredictable i do the same thing each time but whether my hair wants to COOPERATE is a totally different situation 😂 so the end result is always a surprise to me
Both colors looked pretty but I thought the Elf was a better match. I agree with another comment of Elf for a more natural glow and Milani to go glam. Great vid!
The reason why you have dry scabby spots is because it's basically a wound. When we got small wounds on our skin, it scabs over. It's our skin's way of protecting the area so that it can heal itself underneath. Also, the skin cell turn over rate in those areas are working more/faster to heal the wound. Hope this helps. 😉
yea I figured that was what was happening, it just stinks because sometimes I won't even have acne in a certain spot and it'll still be flakey so that can get annoying sometimes 😭
I did Bactrim as a last resort before my first round of accutane (years ago) and it worked really well! I was able to put off accutane for almost 2 years after being on it- I hope it works for you too! I’m kinda in the same spot as you, I’ve been on doxy and it helps but still getting some breakouts and I actually have my appointment tomorrow and I’m gonna ask to do accutane again. I’m sick of breaking out and want to get CLEAR!! I’ll probs make some videos about it if you’re curious about going on it! It worked wonders for me the first time!
If your still on the fence, just wanted to say I am someone who's been on Accutane twice, very close together and highly recommend it. For me, Accutane was a lot less harsh than the antibiotics which played havoc with my stomach and gut. It's absolutely miraculous and it's a shame it has such a bad rep, the side effects are totally tolerable and the exposure to Accutane vs the exposure to antibiotics is less damaging long term to your body and provides better, quicker and long lasting result.
I’ve been searching high and low for a good long lasting cream blush but they all seem to be a ‘cream to powder’ finish which is so frustrating because if I wanted a powder finish I’d just use a powder!! I’m interested in the milani
I was a bit disappointed by the elf blush ( I have Tahiti) because it’s so little pigmentation even though it looks like it’s a bright blush. Oh well, I just use it as my blush when wearing a bold lip since it’s muted. The milani blushes look beautiful but I don’t need anymore cream blush 😂if you are interested in a matte cream blush then you may want to check out ones from j cat beauty ..they’re called like marshmallow or something but I was surprised how matte they are for a cream blush. And inexpensive but long lasting ❤️
You so pretty ❤️❤️❤️ I was struggling in acne too but it took me years but everything better now I it better for you now I really can feel when you said my face oily but the acne dry I was have same
@@IvoryCherry it’s a shampoo for dandruff and dry scalp, only one that has worked for me. You should be able to get it at Walmart. I had bought a ton of it because they’re always sold out but I haven’t had to use it due to all of my hair falling out cuz of chemo. Anyway, that long ass explanation was cuz I haven’t had to buy it in awhile and I’m not sure if they still carry it 😅
I find it amazing there was anything left of the elf blush at the 8 hour check in. I powder primed, used setting spray, topped it with my powder blush, and in the evening I already had no blush or bronzer on my face. The Maybelling Cheek heat has better longevity as an underpainting product, but it HAS to be stippled on. It doesnt blend by itself. The Milani Eye and Cheek face palette has no longevity (I topped it with that), I hate it; whats the point of something that cant even hang on for 5-8 hours on the face? am I supposed to reapply bronzer &blush every 2-3 hours? Come on. Im throwing the Elf blush out, I wish it worked for me like it works for you, but it doesnt. Im throwing the Milani palette out too. Waste of money. Ill buy an empty palette and make my own face palette with My Makeup Geek cheek products and ill be beyond happy with that. I dont want to give more products a chance. SO many duds, ugh.
I have been staring at the Milani blush in my ulta and target carts for months lol I think I might bite the bullet now. Last year I went through a pretty bad dandruff problem and got the head and shoulders detox scrub but because I have dry skin and scalp it irritated me. I used a hydrating scalp spray with niacinamide after showering and it really helped me over time.
im not sure if liquid blush is the same as cream blush in this instance, but these are the extent Ive tried in a non-powder form. Sooo any liquid blush, I have not yet tried
Yes! Accutane is extremely and totally last resort! It messes with your cholesterol, can cause chrohns, major depression, tons of issues. It’s not something to try if you haven’t done all other things possible
I say elf for everyday wear because it give a more natural looking flush, and Milani for more glam looks, but it’s hard to pick an overall favorite. Both look good!
Yesss both are awesome Thank God I didn't have to decide on a winner!
Each side looked great on you. I love your spirit and attitude.
Awww Thank you!
So interesting to see these blushes side by side! I loved the Milani blush on you!
Thank you!!
Ivory Cherry!! I love when you get up close. I always think my makeup looks horrible. But it looks normal. Social media makes ppl forget about real, textured skin.❤❤❤❤
thank you so much! and yes social media has made even having average, "normal" skin seem like bad skin and I wish they were more skin positive!
I have been loving the Milani cream blushes. I’m surprised by how much I like Nude Kiss because I thought “Nude for who?…” but it gives me a natural everyday flush. I ended up picking up like 3 more lol ❤️❤️
Haha yess I have another one that's more peachy /coral from them and I love that one too!!
your hair looks so cute here!
Aww thank you!

That's great to hear! I definitely am not ruling it out so it's something I am very open to if we have to go that route!
Great review Ivory! I actually loved the color of the elf blush more than the milani one but I think both colors suit you nicely. Very pretty 😊 Thanks for the thorough review!
Awww thank you!

Girl I am ON IT. I ordered it the day it came out I am so excited!
Yyaaayyy!!! 🥳💖😊. Thanks for another great video doll.
I really like the E.L.F. cream blushes; the shades are beautiful & wear really well.
Yess they are wonderful! Can't complain about the price either!
You’re going to have to do a hair tutorial one of these days because it looks so good!

You so pretty ❤️❤️❤️ I was struggling in acne too but it took me years but everything better now I it better for you now I really can feel when you said my face oily but the acne dry I was have same
Can you please review the new foundation from tarte... The serum hidro foundation.... I love your reviews . They are so in detail... Thank you!
Omg I had no idea they even came out with a new one! I can Def add it to the list and try to get to it if I have time!
Thank you!
Have you tried using Nizoral? It’s expensive but it’s the only thing that’s worked for me! Thank you as always for sharing your thoughts 🤗
I have not. Is it an antibiotic or topical?

@@Gigi_K ill have to check this out thank you for the suggestion! I hope you're doing much better after chemo 💕😘
@@IvoryCherry you’re so welcome! Yes, thank you I am doing great ☺️
@@Gigi_K that makes me happy to hear!

End of rant
Milani won at the end of the day for me but then again it might be the shade difference 😅
Lmao I love the shade it's so pretty!

Do you have any favorite liquid blushes? I find those more longwearing, but havent tried a lot.
im not sure if liquid blush is the same as cream blush in this instance, but these are the extent Ive tried in a non-powder form. Sooo any liquid blush, I have not yet tried
We need a scalp video 🤤
Yes! Accutane is extremely and totally last resort! It messes with your cholesterol, can cause chrohns, major depression, tons of issues. It’s not something to try if you haven’t done all other things possible
What is the exact name of that Essence foundation? Thank you. 🥰
it's the essence pretty natural hydrating foundation! sooo good!
@@IvoryCherry I will get it for sure, thanks. 🥰
Try vitamin b5 supplements.
Hi! :)
Hi there!
Oooo 🥰😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Accutane is vitaman A so people that suffer from acne should take vitamin A its safer and natural without the side affects.
