Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Milani Rose Powder Blush in the shade Romantic Rose.
I’ll tell you this: a few years ago Tarte Exposed Blush came out and everyone was going CRAZY about it, now, Tarte was not available in Italy (it still isn’t but it’s slightly easier to get now) and I wanted that blush so badly. I’ve seen so many posts that said this Milani one was a dupe for it so I wanted this one instead but I never got it because even in that case it wasn’t super easy.
When I was buying the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blue Balls Liquid Frost and the Mannequin Velour Liquid Lipstick I saw this blush on the site, those memories flew back and I thought why not?
You can get it from Ulta for 8,99$
Colour
It is a nude pink brown.
PACKAGING
The packaging is very simple and minimal, I like that I can see the shade through the top.
The pan has a rose embossed in it which is absolutely gorgeous and the shade name is on the back.
Side note: I think they sent me an expired one because mine smells terrible that, luckily, didn’t affect the final result but I won’t keep using it because I don’t want to get acne.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
The formula is quite soft and smooth especially when you swatch it, it has medium pigmentation. You definitely have to build up the colour which as I said in the past is my personal preference with face products.
It doesn’t have any fallout and it’s not too chalky. It doesn’t enhance pores or texture.
APPLICATION
It is not super pigmented but you can layer it.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
On me, it lasts around 6 hours before starting to fade.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 9/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 7/10
- Texture: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 7/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: A-
This blush is very pretty, it looks like you are naturally flushed, I prefer when blushes are less pigmented because it helps to avoid the clown effect. The lasting power is ok. If you like the colour and you are looking for an affordable option this is really nice. For that price is a good blush.

I have the same shade! Vert pigmented <3
It’s so pretty! x
It’s so translucent and ethereal. I wonder how it would look on my complexion.
They have a coral shade that would be gorgeous on you ?
I definitely need to try this one. Your review has convinced me!
You’ll love it x
Oh my gosh, you got an expired blush? That’s horrible! The color looks beautiful on you but I agree you shouldn’t sacrifice your skin.
I had a similar experience once with Ulta and the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream. I bought a tube, but when I started to use it I noticed my face smelled horrific! I exchanged it for another tube, but the same thing happened! I think they had a bad batch, it was unfortunate.
Mine was sealed and all so it was probably a bad batch too, actually I just got another one (way more expensive) that has the same colour so I’m happy again XD
Love the color of this blush! I don’t like the “clown effect” either, this does look more muted.
It’s very soft and perfect for everyday xx
I loooove this color for summer. And the presentation is just gorgeous!!
So pretty x
Love the colour! it’s very subtle! ? Also the rose detail is gorgeous ?
The rose design is so pretty x
I think I have the same shade but I have made it redundant in my collection! I definitely need to use it more often.
I have a thing with this shade of pink at the moment ??
