Melanie Mills Hollywood

Review by Lisa VanWilliams

Melanie Mills is an award-winning makeup artist and Hollywood's leading leading lady to go to when the starlets want to get glammed up. She created her own beauty line called Gleam when she was Makeup Department Head for ABC's television show, "Dancing with the Stars" and she created Gleam Body Radiance cream /body makeup to even out blotchy spray tans or instantly bronze skin without a tan. A few years ago, she also launched her Gleam Lip Radiance line which offers seven gorgeous eye catching long-lasting colors to match any skin tone or mood.

Melanie Mills Hollywood also makes the following products:

GLEAM BODY RADIANCE ($40) - Makeup, moisturizer, and glow all in one. Cover up those imperfections anywhere on your body.
GLEAM LIP RADIANCE ($24 each)- Infused with natural botanicals, this is a highly pigmented, long-lasting glass, that will help to improve lip texture. Conditions your lips while providing great color.
GLEAM RADIANT DUST ($59)- loose shimmering (all-over body) powder that leaves your skin feeling like silk.

These products are all paraben and sulfate free, They are a cruelty-free brand as well. They were kind enough to send me the Gleam Radiant Dust and Lip Radiance to check out for myself and they are awesome. I choose the Rose color Radiant Dust since I am pretty fair skinned. I use it as a finishing dust once I have applied all my makeup and I'm ready to go. I dust this over my face, neck, chest, & arms and it provides a subtle sexy shimmer.

I picked Naked Lip Radiance to use during the day since it's subtle but alluring neutral color and Up Against the Wall for a more dramatic red evening look. The glosses come in a coppery gold case and the gloss applies easily in one or two coats depending on the look you want to achieve. The gloss is smooth and moisturizing as well and the colors are great. I would recommend this brand if you are into quality shimmers & gloss (and I'm a gloss junkie).

They are offering 50% off on all Gleam products (promo code: Love16), so here's your chance to try out some great products at half the price. To find out more about the company, or to order online, please go to: http://melaniemillshollywood.com/
