The Watermelon Brightening Serum from Milk Makeup has been on my radar since it came out. I’m a sucker for anything watermelon so this really peaked my interest. Regularly priced at $36 this was definitely far out of my price range for an untried product from a company that I know nothing about. Hoorah for the r/MUAontheCheap community! It was posted that multiple codes were stacking at one point so I snatched up this serum for $18 shipped, much more within my budget!
- Ordered 4/9
- Shipped 4/10
- Received 4/17 via UPS
I’m still testing this out nightly. I like the smooth feel but I’m not so sure about rubbing a stick all over my face.
This does NOT smell like watermelon. At all. It is fragrance free. It smells like nothing. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have bothered really. I know fragrance is not desirable in skincare, but damn it, I wanted to smell like a watermelon!

I would be so disappointed to find out it doesn’t even smell like watermelon 😂 What is supposed to do for the skin?
I can’t believe it doesn’t smell like watermelon either! That was probably the biggest selling point for me, lol
Me too! I was putting off ordering the Glow Recipe Watermelon stuff (which I know smells like watermelon candy) in favor of this because it was so deeply discounted. Urgh! Oh well, win some, lose some 🙂
The no watermelon scent is such a letdown. 😞
Such a LETDOWN! 🙂
What why is it watermelon if if doesn’t smell like watermelon :S They should just call it “pink” then!
I feel so cheated 🙂
But..why is it called watermelon then?
Right? I mean, come on!
The fact that it doesn’t even smell like watermelon, or anything, is totally disappointing! Why else would anyone ever purchase anything with watermelon in the name 🤷🏻♀️ I was also curious about this product, and it was definitely the “Watermelon” that piqued my interest.
I looked up the ingredients and “Citrullus Vulgaris Fruit Extract” is Watermelon extract & listed 9th amongst Bitter Orange, Lentil and Chicory extracts. I guess “Milk Lentil Serum” didn’t appeal to the test group LOL.
Haha no kidding! Oh man, what a gimmick. How disappointing! Hopefully it actually does something for your skin.
