Back in January of this year, beauty girls and editors lost their collective shit—myself included—when New York City beauty brand Milk Makeup finally launched in the UK. Despite it having only launched stateside in 2016, it had already felt like a lifetime of having to beg U.S.-bound friends to hit up Sephora on my behalf for a Milk Makeup fix. And I clearly wasn't alone—the brand launched to an incredible 17,000-person waiting list on Cult Beauty. Yes, this was one beauty brand that had a serious amount of social media hype, and I was already obsessed. If you haven't heard of Milk Makeup before, then the premise of the brand is all about good ingredients, clean formulas, and payoff that you can actually see. Every product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and 100% vegan and a lot of the products come in twist-up, stick formulations for easy, fuss-free application—even when you're on-the-go. The skincare products are simple and slip effortlessly into your existing routines, and the makeup products offer sheer pops of color that can be built up to customize your look. In short, this is a beauty brand that even women who aren't that into beauty can get on board with. Launching exclusively onto Cult Beauty with a great initial drop, there have been new arrivals landing thick and fast, with 37 products currently on site to shop. (Although, seriously, Milk—will your Sunshine Skin Tint ever be landing on British soil?) With such an array of product categories and names like Glitter Sticks , Tattoo Stamps , and Cannabis Face Masks to decipher, it can be a bit of a beauty minefield to shop if you haven't already dabbled with the brand. Luckily, I've now tried pretty much everything that Milk Makeup has to offer, and while it was lust at first sight for me and everything in the collection, there are a few products that have transitioned into true, long-term beauty loves. Yes, packaging aside, these are the products that I honestly think are worth splashing your cash on. Not only do they genuinely work, but they've also become staples in my beauty routine. The ultimate product for girls who don't really do makeup or just don't have time for it in the mornings. Just twist up the creamy color and swipe it onto your cheeks and lips, then pat in with your fingertips for an effortlessly pretty flush of color. I always have one of these Lip + Cheek sticks in my handbag for when my complexion needs a little livening up during the day. Werk, this dusky rose shade, is my favorite everyday hue but I must mention Quickie as a close second—a lively berry that would look amazing on deeper skin tones too. This is basically a stick of solidified water infused with aloe, but honestly, it's like magic. I recently gave a stick to a colleague who is heading on a humid holiday to China thanks to the way that it cools and refreshes skin like nothing else. I like to use this after cleansing my skin on mornings when I'm feeling particularly puffy and congested as it really helps to calm things down. But you can apply it over makeup to boost glow throughout the day too. I'm a big fan of using face powders to keep my oily skin in check during the day, but it can be difficult to find ones that don't cling to dry patches and end up looking cakey. This one is a revelation thanks to an infusion of moisturizing hyaluronic acid and avocado powder. It might sound counterintuitive, but what it actually means is that this powder blurs over fine lines and unevenness while keeping oil under control. This mascara was the best-selling Milk Makeup product at the brand's UK launch and pretty much everyone that tries it raves about it. It's the first-ever mascara to contain hemp-derived cannabis oil and has a seriously creamy formula infused with fibers that glide onto lashes and impart them with mega volume. Hannah Almassi, our very own editor in chief, has even be converted to its charms. If you're looking for a new mascara in your life then make it this one. This features the same formulation technology as the Kush Mascara (hydrating cannabis oil and volumizing fibers), but for your brows. I'm very loyal to my Benefit Gimme Brow, so I really wasn't expecting to like this product as much as I do. But I have to say that on days when I want to get really bushy, glossy cool-girl brows, this really does the trick. It does a great job of boosting volume and setting hairs in place without leaving them feeling stiff or set either. One of the newer Milk Makeup drops, this primer promises to keep skin hydrated all day. For me, however, the thing that I love most about it is the way that (as the name suggests) it "grips" to the makeup you apply on top to improve longevity. To apply, you smooth a couple of pumps onto clean skin and leave it for a minute to set. I love that my skin always looks glowy and moisturized before I apply my base. Oh, and I'm also here for the all-day hold. At first, these cream eye shadows might look a little intimidating. They are seriously pigmented (as in, you literally just need a tiny dot for full coverage colour on your eye) and come in some pretty out-there shades, including sea greens and electric blues. However, these are now one of my favourite formulas to reach for on a night out. The shade Hotel Lobby, in particular, is a really wearable champagne-gold with a beautiful shimmer. I apply to the eyelids using my fingertips, and then blend out the edges with a fluffy brush. Once they're on, the waterproof formulas stay put for hours without creasing or shifting. If you don't love a really high-shine glow to your skin, then the Milk Makeup Highlighter Stick might be more up your street for a more subtly luminous glow. These Holographic Sticks are for a major sheen. They contain real meteorite powder (seriously) for a holographic finish that I happen to love applied to the tops of cheekbones. The shade Mars is my favorite (a gorgeous golden peach), but there are some more intense color options if lavender or pink highlight is up your alley. Rich in olive and jojoba oils, this lip balm does an amazing job of moisturizing parched lips and boasts a minty taste that is wonderfully refreshing. It comes in a clear formula (which actually looks green in the tube), and if it's purely hydration that you're after, this is a tinted formula that treats and looks good. Toner is often one of those skincare steps that I'll skip entirely, but since discovering this one from Milk Makeup, it's become more of a regular part of my skincare routine. It's the world's first every solid toner, and it's crammed with matcha green tea and witch hazel to decongest and purify oily-combination skin types. I just swipe it over skin after cleansing to calm any inflamed areas and control oily patches before my moisturizer. I was a bit dubious about the idea of a face mask in a stick, but I have to say that this application method is a dream if the thought of applying a face mask always seems like way too much effort. I apply it to clean, damp skin (but you can also apply it to dry skin) and leave it to dry for around 10 minutes before rinsing it off. It's clay-based, so it has detoxifying benefits, but it also contains protective vitamins C and E, hydrating hyaluronic acid and brightening watermelon extract for more luminous skin. As someone who doesn't really use bronzer, it's a big deal to be recommending one in this list. I don't know if it's the blendable texture, the matte colour or the way that it hydrates skin at the same time, but this is possibly one of the best bronzers I've ever tried. I basically just scrawl it over my cheeks, nose and forehead, and then blend it out with my fingers for a really subtle, sunkissed glow. Although it looks deep in the tube, it's surprisingly sheer, so I've never overdone it while applying it. While I wasn't blown away by Milk Makeup's original Blur Stick, this new illuminating version is right up my street. It uses golden blur pigments and blurring microspheres to both brighten skin and absorb excess oil at the same time. On weekends when I'm just pottering about the house, I'll apply just this over moisturiser to brighten and even out my skin tone, but on normal days, I'll apply it under makeup, focusing on my cheeks and forehead (where my pores tend to be most visible). The newest launch from Milk Makeup comes courtesy of these mini multipurpose formulas. The same concept as the brand's original Lip + Cheek sticks (you can use them to add color all over your face), these ones have more of a sheer formula with a beautifully dewy finish. Astro is my favorite—a soft, radiant blackberry hue that I think would work well on all skin tones. These will really come into their own during summer.

So there’s now a growing collection of mods designed to restore the original Dreamcast content back in to SADX, and I think the results speak for themselves. I’ve long thought SADX to be a pretty sloppy “update” to Sonic Adventure, and seeing side by side comparisons like this, I don’t know how you could ever think otherwise. Sonic Adventure is a much more vibrant game than what they made SADX in to, and it really is quite baffling why they ruined the game. Did they not have the budget to properly polish up the port? Did they legitimately think some of these were improvements? We may never know.

Want to know how to set up your version of SADX to look like this? Instructions are beyond the “read more” tag.

How to Install

Getting everything ready...

Obviously, it’s a good idea to have a copy of 7zip handy, if for whatever weird reason you don’t already have it. (link)

You’ll need a North American version of Sonic Adventure DX for PC from 2003 in order to use the SADX Mod Manager. Given that most of you probably have SADX on Steam, you can use BetterSADX (link), which will convert the Steam version into the 2003 PC release the Mod Manager expects (plus, BetterSADX even comes with the Mod Manager!).

If you don’t have the Steam version, just track down the North American version of Sonic Adventure DX for PC from 2003 (as mentioned) and install the SADX Mod Manager (link). It’s as simple as extracting “SADXModLoader.7z“ in to the same directory as SADX’s sonic.exe. Once extracted, run the Mod Manager (SADXModManager.exe) and click “Install loader.” This will let you inject mods.

Now that you have a version of SADX set up for modding, download the Dreamcast Conversion mod from Moddb (link).

You’ll also want to download the SADX Palette Lighting Mod (link). Specifically, you want the files marked “sadx-dc-lighting” and “d3d8to9″. You need both for the palette lighting mod to work.

It’s optional, but Sonic Adventure DX: Fixed Edition (link) might be a good idea as well. It’s an unofficial patch for Sonic Adventure DX, and can work with the Dreamcast Conversion mod if you know how to set it up. This is bundled with BetterSADX, so chances are, you already have it.

If you don’t already have it from BetterSADX, the Input Mod (link) is also a good idea. This fixes some issues with SADX 2003′s controller support, and auto-configures it to work with Xbox controllers.

Installing

Install the SADX Mod Manager. This either entails extracting the Mod Loader zip file in to your SADX install directory, or by installing BetterSADX for Steam.

Open d3d8.7z  Inside this is “d3d8.dll”. Put this dll in the same folder as your sonic.exe. (it’s in your SADX install directory)

Once you have the SADX Mod Manager (either from BetterSADX or installing it yourself as mentioned above), this means you now have a folder in your SADX install called “mods”. In each mod’s zip file we’ve downloaded, there should be folders. Extract those folders to the mods directory. Your mods folder should look sort of like this (link).

Now, run SADXModManager.exe. It should list all of your currently installed mods, either with a checkbox next to them or not. Check every single box to enable all mods.

The next part is very important! We need to configure the load order for the mods. SADX:FE can and will conflict with the Dreamcast Conversion if you don’t do this step, but don’t sweat it, it’s easy: just move every mod labeled “SADX:FE” to the top of your mod list by selecting it in the list and using the up and down arrows on the right to shift it around. Your SADX Mod Manager should look something like this (link). Basically, mods at the top of the list load first, and mods at the bottom load last. It’s like layers -- each entry on the list is a new mod layer being applied over the top of the old one. So you want SADX:FE to be the base, and then have Dreamcast Conversion be applied over it. Everything else is up to you.

Once you have your mod order sorted out, make sure the loader is installed. If it says at the bottom “Uninstall loader” that means you’re ready to go. If it doesn’t say that, click "Install loader.”

If you want, you can probably hit “Save & Play” now, or...

Configuring SADX Mod Manager’s extended options

Click the “Options” tab on the top of SADX Mod Manager. I recommend setting these options:

Check “Enable V-sync.” This will eliminate ugly screen tearing. It can introduce some input lag on some setups, but chances are, you want it turned on anyway.

Check “Use custom resolution” and then click the button on the right that says “Native.” This will make SADX use your desktop resolution, which is probably widescreen. Widescreen is nice, and given we’re dealing with a game from 1998, SADX will run at just about any resolution on any machine at full speed.

Check “Scale HUD (experimental)” to resize the time/rings/lives display to something more readable. Otherwise, it’s probably going to be very, very small.

Check “Force Mipmapping.” This is a graphics setting to make distant textures look smoother when they’re far away. SADX doesn’t do this normally, but this will force it.

Check “Force Texture Filtering.” When certain menu elements get resized for larger resolutions, they can look very pixelated and ugly. This will smooth them out.

 Check “Disable CD Check.” This might not be necessary depending on which version of SADX you’re using, but it’s a good idea to check it anyway.

Next, it might be a good idea to click “Config Editor” in the bottom right. Most of these options are going to get overrided by everything we just set up, but make sure all the graphics options are cranked up (Frame Rate: High, Clip Level: Far, Fog Emulation: Auto) and configure your volume levels. Note that there’s a weird bug with music volume where setting it below 60 will turn it down so low it’ll effectively mute the music.

Click OK

NOW you can hit “Save & Play.” Enjoy what is currently the best version of Sonic Adventure!

What to do if something goes wrong

I didn’t make any of this software so I can’t really help you! Please contact the respective authors of each mod or piece of software if something isn’t working right.

I’m contemplating making a video out of all of this, so maybe seeing me do it instead of reading text descriptions will help? Stay tuned.
