Before walking in, I said a silent prayer to myself in hopes that the sales rep would know exactly what I wanted. The first person I spoke to was no help. Lucky for me, she enlisted the help of a peer who led me to the product of my dreams.
The moment I laid my eyes on Milk's Hydrating Oil Makeup Stick, I knew that I stumbled on something special. All it took was one swipe on the back of my hand to confirm that I found exactly what I was looking for.
This oil stick is my definition of the perfect product. Everything about it works for my benefit. Basically, it's like solid oil stick that doesn't feel greasy on the skin. Although it's oil based, it feels nourishing and hydrating on the skin. Not only that, the packaging is practically a dream come true. We all know how difficult it is to carry around oil based products. Milk solved that problem by presenting us an "oil" in solid form. But it glides on smoothly and feels light to the touch.
Once I had the product in my possession, I sorta set it aside for a while. To be honest, I wasn't completely sure on how to best utilize it. Part of me also wanted to wait for fall and winter to use it as my secret weapon against dry skin.
So here we are today. My skin is already starting to feel the effects of the drier air. Instinctively, I reached for the oil stick and decided to look to the experts on new ways to incorporate it into my winter routine. These experts I speak of are the ladies who love this product and left glowing reviews on Sephora.
Within minutes, I was inundated with ideas on how to use this amazing hydration stick. Some of which include:
- Applying the nourishing oil to the skin under makeup to create a dewy backdrop for your skin.
- Rubbing the oil on the skin at night to wake up with "plump and hydrated" skin in the morning.
- Under your eyeshadow for the dewy lid look that's currently on trend.
- As a spot treatment for dry patches of skin on the face.
- Use on high points of cheeks to create the most natural looking dewy glow you've ever experienced.
- Perfect "hydrator" for travel. It fits perfectly in your bag (TSA friendly) and can soften/nourish your entire face, hands, or wherever you need it.
HOLY GRAIL
.......................................................................................This morning, I had the pleasure of applying Milk's Oil Stick underneath my makeup. I've been into wearing powder foundations lately but sometimes they leave my skin looking a bit too dry. Today, that was a non-factor because the stick kept my skin looking soft and hydrated. Tonight, I can't wait to apply it on the skin before bed. For those of you who've always wanted to try "going to bed greasy" but was afraid of appearing too oily, this stick is a great alternative. It immediately sinks into the skin so you look glowing, not greasy.
I just so happens that Milk is currently running a sale so I will probably pick up 1-2 more. I'm thinking of having one that I use on my body and one for face and lips.
oooohhh this looks like a must have! Is the sale going through Sephora?
