JANUARY 2017

METROPOLIS

I finally received my January bag in mid february hence here's a belated post on the goodies! So for January i received 2 beauty products, 1 beauty tool, 1 perfume sample and a nail polish. January's bag was a bit of a let down after December's, simply because i got a lippie last month but none for this month ): Heres the deets:

1. Mannakadar beauty Fantasy 3-in-1 blush highlighter eyeshadow. (Full size, rtp usd$19.) A very wearable champagne nude pink shade that i have already tested as a highlighter. The texture is really smooth and colour pay off is really good. Happy to have received this cause i only own one contour and highlight kit and this allowed me to expand my horizon abit. Have yet to try as a shadow and blush tho.

2. SLMissglam Blend Beauty Brush L34. (Full size usd$19.99) This is a very pretty brush that stands out amongst the other brushes in its purple and pink glory that makes it very instagram worthy. Altho i have never heard of the brand, the creator of this is actually quite a well known beauty blogger and makeup artist. This is meant as an eyeshadow blending brush but i actually use it to pat in the Mannakadar highlighter into my cheekbones and it works well! Always happy to receive brushes that can multi task.

3. F.U.N lacquer nail polish in TGIF. (Full size 12ml, usd$11.50) Holosexuals everywhere. Altho i didnt check nail polish as a need in my beauty profile, im happy to receive something thats at least nice and wearable. As oppose to getting a polish thats in freaking pink, im happy to receive a holographic gold base that really is unique in its on way. Thumbs up for this too.

4. NOTE eau de parfum in Pink Peony. (Deluxe size 5ml, usd $6.) This oneeee, i was on the fence about this at first cause i did not really fancy the soft floral fragrance. It has top notes of : bergamot & tangerine. Middle notes of : jasmine sambac, linden flower & peach blossoms. Base notes of : sheer musks, blonde amber & white woods. However, I have been testing it out for a few days by spritzing some on my clothes for the day, and i have to admit that the smell has grown on me. It no longer has an obvious floral scent but i can smell more of the musk, which i love.

5. Model Co blush in Peach Bellini. (Deluxe size 3.5g, usd$9) Out of the 5 items, this is the least that i liked. Mainly because it has shimmer in it and i like my blushes matte. Also because i still have my Zoeva coral spectrum blush palette hence i dont feel like i need yet another coral shade. Miine is still sealed and am planning to give it away.


Overall verdict for January:
🖤🖤🖤

2 hearts down for this month because the perfume and nail polish was something that i liked but not something that i would reach out that often.
Also, because i didnt fancy getting a blush after getting a product which is 3-in-1 too. It wouldve been better if they gave me a lip product or mascara for diversity. Ya know? Ok thats all for January's bag. Take a look at my first Lip monthly bag too if you'd like! Did you guys get the same variation as i did?
