I am super duper excited that this box has finally reached me...I hate getting memeboxes on snail mail. But, I refused to get this box in a value set with the Marzia box eurgh!
Isn't the box itself just a wonder to look at?
So gorgeous!
First product is this RiRe Lip Manicure in Brick Red. It is 3.7 g & $18 (overpriced much?)
I have had a Rire Lip Manicure before and did not enjoy it, probably because it was a light pink shade that showed up every single valley of cracks on my lips. This shade however is beautiful! It is dark enough that it doesn't show the cracks and the pigmentation is insane. It is perfect for lazy fuckers like myself who cannot be bothered to keep re-applying lippy, as this does not transfer whatsoever. On the other hand though, I do not recommend wearing balm underneath or a gloss on top as it takes away it's staying power.
I swatched this on my hand and after a few million washes (I'm a bit OCD when it comes to keeping my hands clean) it still stuck around.
Second product is a set of 3 RiRe Pigments, they are 2.5g each and all 3 cost $13 (I'm not sure if that's for all 3 or each).
As you can see from the image above the first two shades which are Snow White & A-Pink are super chunky and glittery. They were a bit of a bitch to work with, they were patchy and the fall out was ridiculous. Even though I used a damp brush and a sticky base, it just transformed my face into a disco ball.
The third shade which is Club Burgundy was a dream to work with. It is super pigmented and felt like butter.
Out of the 3, I may keep A-Pink because I do like the shade, definitely keeping Club Burgundy, but I will be giving away Snow White as it is just too much hassle to try to work with.
The third product (which I have not taken a picture of because I'm a fucking noob) is the Secret Key New Premium So Fast Hair Booster Hair Pack 150ml and is $24. I have yet to try this product but it smells lovely and is a hair treatment you apply after shampooing.
I can't wait to use it, as it claims to restore the protective layer of dry & damaged hair and leaves it feeling and looking like virgin hair.
I definitely need this, as even though I have virgin hair. The individual strands are super thick, so overall my hair feels very dry and coarse. Here's to hoping this works wonders.
Fourth product is this M.Daida Butter Cream Lip Mask 20ml and is $13.
Made from a blend of organic walnut and shea butter, this lip mask will nourish, smooth and moisturize lips. You apply this on to dry lips and leave for a few minutes, then wipe away.
I used it prior to applying the lip manicure and WOW. My lips felt so hydrated, which is great because as of late I have had dry chapped lips due to being ill.
This is the perfect lip savior for this cold winter season...or shall I just say typical England.
Fifth product...which I also did not photograph individually is the Youngwoosa I Love You Oh Thank You Green Tea Seed Essence 40ml and is $54.
Seriously, what is it with Korean brands and giving their products ridiculously long names.
But, onto the product itself. It is a watery consistency that absorbs into your skin almost immediately. It is made of a blend of Jeju Island organic green tea seed and 7 different kinds of herbal extracts. It claims to relieve and replenish moisture to sensitive and stimulated skin.
I will not be holding onto this as it has a quiet strong fragrance. I cannot describe it, all I can say about it is that I cannot handle the scent.
Sixth product is the Holika Holika Sweet Cotton Sebum Clear Powder In Mist 65ml and $8.
Infused with a blend of cranberry, dragonfruit, apple mint and powder. It smells nice and clean, not at all sweet or fruity. This claims to replenish moisture and lock in make up.
The spray is a little powerful, otherwise it works well.
Final product is this Too Cool For School Play Cheek Angel Blusher in 02 Sweet Peach. It is 4ml and is $14.
The description card says this is 'highly pigmented'. I beg to differ. It is a sheer light peachy shade with a sheen. Anyone NC30 or above will probably not be able to use this as a blush but more as a highlighter.
It just about shows up on my skin tone and provides a nice glow to my cheeks.
If you'd like to check out some of these products in action on my face. Go ahead and watch the video below.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed this box. It's just a shame that 2 out of the 3 pigments were awkward to work with and that the essence had to go and be a bloody awful scented product.
Otherwise, everything in this box is great and I'm looking forward to playing around with them a bit more.
Thanks for looking ^.^
