I have been gravitated towards peach and coral shades lately, and I had to have Corallina as soon as I saw it.
Thanks to the sale, I also grabbed Dolce Pink, which was also a safe color choice for me. ;p
Milani Baked Blush Dolce Pink & Corallina
To be honest, I didn't think much of the new and improved baked version of this Milani blushes since I've already liked the old ones that are smaller and more affordable.
I've always had some problems getting the colors out from baked makeup products (*cough* Bourjois), so I naturally assumed these would be not so different.
I have two old version of Milani blushes in Luminous and Mango Tango. They are smaller and compact but still hold tons of products with much cheaper price.
I believe the Luminous color has been reincarnated as the Luminoso baked blush but Mango Tango was discontinued a log time ago.

Milani Baked Blush Dolce Pink
They are very different colors, but I find both of them are quite wearable for my neutral/cool toned light complexion.
Dolce Pink has this almost warm shimmer to it and creates really soft and pretty glow that is not too warm nor too cool.
On the other hand, Corallina is obviously a bright coral color, but it is adorned by silvery swirls and some cool quality, which gives me just enough flush without making me look like a burning potato. ;p

They are both well-pigmented and go on beautifully. I don't have any problem picking up the colors from them.
Staying power is just okay, nothing amazing in my opinion.
One more note would be that they are quite shimmery with bigger particles. If you don't like obvious sparkles, better steer away from these.
I myself prefer the older version since they give satiny glow with better color payoffs and staying power not to mention they were much more affordable.
The baked ones come with mirror and blush but they look a little flimsy to me.
I might still grab a couple more of these since I've seen some interesting and unique colors from the collection. ;)
Have you tried these baked blushes?
Any color recommendation? :)
