Drugstore Beauty Bargain: Shimmer Stripe Blush

Clinique just came out with their 'Shimmering Stripes' Powder Blusher in Tuxedo Plums for winter.  I tried it and liked it, but I could help thinking that I had used something almost exactly the same before.  Then I figured it out--the product is almost an exact replica of Milani's Glimmer Stripes in Berry Glimmer!


Both have great pigmentation and look very similar on.  They're a bit shimmery, but not glittery, and give a touch of color to the face.  The colors in the pictures are a little off (Milani's doesn't actually have red in it; that's a deep purple-ish hue).


The difference?  Clinique charges about $30 per compact and Milani's version is under $8.


Get thee to a drugstore!
