For a welcome change, this month’s play was actually good. All
of the items were relatively new and has been getting positive hype :-) I am
quite excited about all 5 items in this box actually. Lets start with a product
that I already have and love :-)
Smashbox Always On
Liquid Lipstick in “Driver’s Seat”: I bought this formula a while ago in
the limited edition shade “Bawse” (check review here). This is a deluxe size
tube which is actually a very good size for lipstick hoarders like me. I
absolutely loved that they kept the applicator is same as the regular size one.
The sharp edges of the diamond shape applicator makes it super easy to line my
lips and fill it in! The shade is a beautiful peachy-mauve shade. It has more
of warm orange type of undertone than a mauvy pink one! I can definitely wear
it but personally I prefer shades a little bit deeper on my skin-tone.
The Estee Edit Flash
Photo Gloss: Another product that I really liked. It is quite glossy but in
a very good way! I have applied it over the Smashbox lipstick and I kid you
not, the combo stayed the whole day. It survived breakfast, lunch, a few snacks
and of course multiple cups of water. It did not feather or bleed or loose
pigmentation and the gloss stayed the entire time. It is not sticky at all. I
am really loving it. I did try it over a bite lip pencil but it disappeared
about middle of the day.
All these 3 products below I have not tried yet. My skin
took a major hit with the 3 week vacation in India. It was very hot, I think
that agitated my skin and now there are pimples all over my face. So, I am
giving my skin a much-needed break. But I, absolutely am excited about all 3 of
these.
Erborian Bamboo Crepe
Frappe: What a name! :-) It’s a Korean brand so I have high hopes. It’s a
tiny sample though!
Farmacy Skin Dew Mist: This is probably the most exciting
product for me. It is a skin mist that can be used to freshen or set makeup. I
am really looking forward to using it.
Christophe Robin
Regenerating Mask: In my mind, you can never have enough hair mask. However,
I got my hair chemically smoothened recently so I am a little hesitant to use
it right now! But I will definitely use it in a few months. Depending on the
size, this will last me 3 to 4 times.
Yves Saint Laurent
Mon Paris: it described as a scent with fruity and floral notes over a
musky base. I am not a fan! It feels a bit dated for my preference.
Overall, I was really happy to find all these products in my
box! What do you think?
Love,
